Very excited to announce that the first paper from the lab is now live @NatureComms#mitochondria#immunometabolism
This work was led by postdoc @EloiseMLMrqs with many important contributions from all of our co-authors.
New insights since the preprint (summarised below):
1) Biphasic IFN-I expression
2) Late phase IFN-I is mediated by mitochondrial nucleic acid signalling incl. cGAS-STING pathway
3) Reduced IL-1 and COX2 is mediated in part by autocrine IFN-I
4) Systemic IFN-I signalling in different tissues, notably the kidney, in vivo
Please check it out!

Sepsis is a balancing act: too little immunity fails to control infection, too much causes tissue damage. Our @ScienceMagazine paper reveals one mechanism behind this tradeoff.

Interesting finding:
Monocyte infiltration induces CNS arginine catabolism to fuel neuroinflammation
We clarify what OxPhos is (and is not), emphasizing why oxygen consumption rate (OCR) is an incomplete surrogate for ATP-producing OxPhos flux and why transcriptomic ‘OxPhos signatures’ often confound energetic demand with compensatory responses to mitochondrial damage. - I have a perfect example of this in my model 🙏 Made me rethink a lot of datasets where they find a high OxPhos signature and how it's interpreted.
📢NEW REVIEW: We introduce the distinction between essentiality and disproportionate essentiality when targeting OxPhos in cancer, and explain why this target does not support a therapeutic window once we consider the rest of the organism.

Good Sunday, all. The last week has seen some amazing papers in #cancermetabolism and #mitochondrialbiology. Here is the summary, don't miss these papers https://t.co/YIcWkOGn89 @Bims_BiomedNews#keepreading

For those of you who think macrophages do almost everything, rethink “almost.”
They are programmable cells, recruited into whatever new function evolution needs.

How does oxygen sensing shape alveolar #macrophage (AM) identity?
In our new @CellReports HIF-1α and HIF-2α play distinct, non-redundant roles in AM maturation & function

It's time to rewrite reviews-aKG doesn't just regulate demethylation. Work from my lab and @mzspectrum demonstrates a new role for aKG in promoting histone acetylation and DNA repair through regulating carnitine synthesis. Congrats @ApoorvaUboveja!

In the last 15 years we had: first image of a black hole, The LIGO experiment, proof of the Higgs Boson, mRNA Vaccines, CRISPR, AI revolution (especially alpha fold). I could go on. Pushing the narrative that discovery is slowing down is an embarrassment for @TheEconomist
As we age, especially after 60 years, there is a marked accumulation of mutations in our mitochondrial DNA. These are undetected (cryptic) until they expand into clones and, while associated with clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP), they may independently have an impact on health outcomes @Nature

Just published @Nature
Very impressive study of gene expression and hallmarks of aging across 4 mammalian species (including humans), by @gladyshev_lab. Transcriptomic clocks add to epigenetic, organ and cellular clocks for predicting health outcomes. Example of a few proteins found with prediction of disease/event risk in Figure below
