Very pleased to share our new article in the @SFRBM journal Free Radical Biology & Medicine describing a refined protocol for measuring Complex I-, II-. and IV-dependent #mitochondria #oxygen consumption. It reveals excess neuronal Complex I capacity:

How does mitochondrial DNA escape and trigger inflammation?

Our new review examines mechanisms of inflammatory mtDNA release and highlights key unanswered questions in the field.

@scott_scientist Scott, my lab is very interested in an alternative hypothesis-testing approach to studying ME/CFS and I very much appreciated your message. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to discuss hypotheses related to chemical exposure.

@RPM_in_STEM @karantarina @GlobalBRev Congratulations Ryan and team!

[Brian M. Polster @polsterlab]

Enjoy your poster presentation!

[Ryan Mayers @RPM_in_STEM]

Excited to present at my first ever Gordon Conference on Neurobiology of Brain Disorders! If you're curious about what happens to mitochondria when you knock out a lysosomal ion channel, stop by poster #1 today, Wednesday, or Thursday to hear about my work in the @polsterlab

[Brian M. Polster @polsterlab]

@stevens1lab Hope things improve soon. Best wishes.

Check out this exciting preprint from the Poulopoulos lab, led by PIN student Colin Robertson. This work is the first of its kind in prime editing of neurons in vivo. Congrats to the Pou lab!

A nice opportunity for those looking for a postdoctoral fellowship:

The kits that agilent promotes for its Seahorse xf analyzer system are loaded with ambiguous measurements and misleading interpretations. Friends don't let friends Seahorse (without caution and controls). 🔥📢✊ #mitochondria #CellBiology

If you are looking for a postdoc position, please check out this great opportunity!

[Evan Bordt @evanbordt]

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to lead a collaborative project between our lab and
@DrNityaJain related to maternal immune activation and the impact on neurodevelopment, development of the immune system, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

👋🏼 Hi I’m Cali, postdoc with @marykaylobo at @UMMedNeuro Thrilled to be a 2023 travel awardee and attending my first in person ACNP. I’m looking at how stress and drugs impact mitochondria in the brain and periphery. My poster is on Tuesday and I’m on the job market this year! 🤩

[Evan Bordt @evanbordt]

Absolutely thrilled to share the final manuscript stemming from my postdoctoral work with @staci_bilbo So excited that the new lab @MGH_RI is following up on these findings

[Brian M. Polster @polsterlab]

@JMHtweetsrarely Wow, just saw this. Congratulations!!

[Univ of Maryland School of Medicine Neuroscience @UMMedNeuro]

We are excited to be back at #SfN23 ! Come check out the amazing work from our UMB trainees: https://t.co/lkiAGfJrlJ

[Brian M. Polster @polsterlab]

Very nice to see this paper out and great work!

[Blake Hill Lab @Blake_Hill_Lab]

New Hill lab publication from @kanolden and @M_Cleland out in @jbiolchem investigating a long-standing question in mitodynamics in which they show that human Fis1 directly interacts with Drp1 to promote mitochondrial fission! https://t.co/WW87xTDn0U

@lilspartansamu1 @MeganDuffyPhD I rarely post on Twitter but I hate to see any scientist so discouraged. I think you gave the perfect advice!

I always try to learn as much as I can from the reviews and feel my thinking is continuously being challenged and refined.

[Brian M. Polster @polsterlab]

This is my favorite comment in this thread. Don’t be discouraged @MeganDuffyPhD. Think forward to a time in the future when your paper is published and making an impact and think about how you will feel. This rejection will be a distant memory.

[Nathan Strogulski @NStrogulski]

Happy to share my latest fundamental neurochemistry review at @JNeurochem, exploring microglial immunometabolism following traumatic brain injury! https://t.co/1MWKMfJqdQ. Here, we address the links between metabolic and inflammatory changes that follow TBI. (1/3)

[Brian M. Polster @polsterlab]

@evanbordt @NICHD_NIH @EdlowLab Outstanding news, Evan!! Can’t wait to see what your team accomplishes on this new project.
