MICU proteins facilitate calcium-dependent mitochondrial metabolon formation to regulate cellular energetics independently of MCU https://t.co/DbeXPkhmdU

[Henry Cohen @HenryCohen]

Thrilled to share this with the world! Immensely grateful to our incredible collaborators @UniGraz, our phenomenal lab and support staff @acdc_temple @katztemplemed, and to a mentor who never needed a reason to believe in me—@TheElrodLab!

[UC Pharmacology, Physiology, and Neurobiology Dept @UCPPNDept]

Thank you to our distinguished lecturer, Dr. John Elrod of Temple University School of Medicine, for discussing "A new paradigm in metabolic regulation: calcium-dependent metabolon assembly." @UCincyMedicine

🚨New Publication Alert!🚨
A collaborative study between @TheElrodLab & @LeferLab out now in #JACCBTS !
The team reports the metabolic and gene expression changes driving heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This study lays the groundwork for future therapies!

Congratulations to Nadina Latchman, a PhD candidate in the @TheElrodLab , for successfully defending her thesis, "Ultrastructure analysis of mitochondria, lipid droplet and sarcoplasmic reticulum apposition in human heart failure".

[Dhanendra Tomar @dhtomar]

New article from @TheElrodLab in @NatMetabolism reveals that TMEM65 is crucial for NCLX-dependent mitochondrial calcium efflux. Loss of TMEM65 leads to calcium overload, cell death, and organ dysfunction, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target. https://t.co/Mat3sVRnhz

[Lewis Katz School of Medicine @katztemplemed]

A new discovery made by #KatzTempleMed scientists could help the design of new therapeutic agents to combat calcium overload of mitochondria in conditions such as heart failure and Alzheimer’s disease. Read more about the study at https://t.co/XK51skXbly @TheElrodLab
