With so many great reviews on LDs already out, do we need another?
Sarah @cohenlaboratory & I were approached by @NatRevMCB to organize a review on LD heterogeneity and inter-organelle contacts...topics often in reviews, but not a focus. Fun project!

📍How do cells actually uptake Coenzyme Q? 🔬 Our new paper dissects Coenzyme Q uptake and intracellular transport, linking lipid handling to mitochondrial metabolism. Excited to finally share this work! 📖

Have you ever wondered what are the mediators and effects of mitohormesis in organisms? In our review on @embojournal from Stahl lab, we explore this winding and unexpected path of mitochondrial stress to systemic benefits. 🔥@BerkeleyMetBio@NatureAtCal

Thrilled to share that my work is out in @Nature. Here, we introduce Peptide Predictor, a tool for identifying new bioactive peptides. Using this method, we discovered BRP, an anti-obesity peptide. Huge thanks to the @SvenssonLab and all our collaborators! https://t.co/WfWMFDwVsR
It has been 10 years since I started doing Western blots in the lab. Wow, what a rollercoaster!
Based on my successes and failures, here are some tips for perfect Western blots. A thread (1/5)…
#NewIssue Ft cover art by Kehuitang Art Studio. He et al. reveal a protective effect of acetate against metabolic and cognitive impairments caused by sleep disruption. Inspired by Monet’s famous Water Lilies paintings, a “mitochondrion” boat drifts in a lotus pond full of water lilies (which, in Chinese, symbolize sleeping beauty in water). Two women sit comfortably in the boat, enjoying tea representing acetate. Their relaxed postures and the harmonious atmosphere suggest that acetate promotes health for individuals suffering from sleep disruption

Mitochondria have many functions and behaviors
We are building a map of mitochondrial specialization across human organs and tissues. Which is your favorite mitochondrial activity/function/behavior you would like to visualize its distribution across the human body?
Today we held the first Bay Area Lipidomics Meeting. 165 participants from 37 institutions from all across the San Francisco Bay Area! A truly collaborative meeting! Thank you all for coming! And thank you to our sponsors for making this possible! #LipidTime
In the first 6 months of 2024 our lab peer-reviewed 40 manuscripts. Underestimating we spent 4 h per MS, this makes 160 h pro bono work.
If we charged the publishers, this would amount to a decent salary for a PhD student.
Happy weekend!
