Lackner Lab

Cell biology lab at Northwestern University @NorthwesternU. We study the mechanisms of mitochondrial positioning. PI: @LLLackner

[Sadie Wignall @swignall]

Our newest paper is out (ahead of print) in @MBoCjournal! Beautiful work by @hannahhearsawho and Nikita Divekar revealing structural features of meiotic chromosomes that promote proper congression and segregation. https://t.co/xvx137Lyu2

Princeton doing the right thing and removing graduate "tuition" so they can pay PhD students more. Why should a PI mentor pay the school tuition for their student in yr 3+ w/ no classes? What is that money for? Should be research funds!

Excited to have played a small role in a new work from @LacknerLabNU! We provide evidence that calcium binding by Num1 integrates the mitochondrial and nuclear positioning pathways in budding yeast. @MBoCjournal

Mitochondrial fission and fusion are spatially coordinated at ER membrane contact sites, say Abrisch et al @CUBoulderMCDB @NorthwesternU https://t.co/SbGKA6nYth @1robear27 @LLLackner @LacknerLabNU #mitochondria #ERLiterature

[Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol]

Abrisch et al show that fission and fusion machineries converge at #mitochondria-ER contact sites to provide a unified platform where fission and fusion are coordinated to balance mitochondrial dynamics and morphology https://t.co/SbGKA66nBJ @1robear27 @LLLackner @LacknerLabNU
