Ready to hear @MitochondriAlex at the ECS webinar 💪🎉

Happy to announce the last #ECSwebinar of 2024 on December 18th - 5 PM CET!🎆 We expect an exciting talk of Thomas Simmen on redox control of ER-mitochondrial calcium signaling and a short talk by Alejandro Garza (@MitochondriAlex) on mitochondrial and metabolic involvement in Alzheimer's disease.

I'm happy to share that out paper on Phantasus, a web-application for visual and interactive gene expression analysis, got out in @eLife elifesciences.org/articles/85722 Here, I'm using it to analyze a random GEO dataset, including basic QC to filter outliers, in under 100 seconds! 1/n

More than just the powerhouses of the cell, #mitochondria are implicated in a range of diseases. Join us @CellSymposia #CSMito2024 to discover how to target #mitochondria therapeutically and the potential use of mitochondrial editing and transfer. cell-symposia.com/mitochondria-2…

Women are 4-times more likely to have autoimmune diseases than men. Why is this? From Dou et al. in Cell, today In females, the second X chromosome is silenced by a long non-coding RNA, called Xist (pronounced 'exist') - males don't express Xist Xist, together with almost 100 unique proteins, wraps itself around the second X chromosome, silencing it. It's thought that Xist-protein complexes are highly immunogenic, and may represent targets for autoantibodies Dou et al. devised a system to induce expression of Xist in male mice. They found that Xist expression led to the production of autoantibodies, similar to levels found in female mice (RIBO P0/P2 are lupus autoantibodies, CENPA/B are scleroderma autoantibodies): In a mouse model, these autoantibodies in Xist-expressing males were sufficient to cause significant lupus pathology (including in the kidney and the lung): In humans, autoantibodies against the Xist ribonucleoprotein complex were enriched in female patients with lupus, scleroderma, and dermatomyositis Therefore, Xist may solve the puzzle of female-biased autoimmunity cell.com/action/showPdf…

It’s very ‘PI-centric’ and IMO slightly disrespectful to talk about students in terms of costs. Working with students is a privilege, and we have a duty to support their learning and careers, and of course their ability to live.

This ballade just gets better as time passes. #chopin #ballade #piano #hobby

My students have been exasperated with their projects not going as they intended. So, we celebrated with a pity party laughing at the failures with softy ice cream. Literally, celebrating every step of the process. 😂🤣

@jmdelgado_ Thanks!!

The answer is always metabolism. 🔋 Cool work!🎉

We’re looking forward to the #jECS2023 meeting, where Minh will present the flashtalk: "Mitochondria calcium uptake inhibition protects neurons against ferroptosis in a substrate-dependent manner." 💪🧠💥 #ferroptosis #mitochondria #neurodegeneration @MitochondriAlex

Interested in 🔬 #Mitochondria 🧠 #Neurodegeneration 🌡️ #Immunology 🎇 #GPCRs 🧂 #Ionchannels 🌱 #Arabidopsis or any other topic that depends on #Calciumsignaling? Sign up now for the #jECS2023 online meeting. It is free and open to all 😍👌 padlet.com/annalisabellan…

End of amazing @EuroCalcium #mitochondrial #calcium #workshop Padova 🇮🇹 by Paola Pizzo, Riccardo Filadi, Marisa Brini & Tito Cali from opening/Tullio Pozzan Memorial talk (Anant Parekh) over all speakers/posters to closing talk (Rosario Rizzuto)! Congrats all incl. awardees! 👍

Maybe @MitochondriAlex is the only one really shining in this screenshot 😜 BUT we had a great board meeting today and welcomed Gaia in the jECS board 🥳

Board meeting in jECS! Discussing our next online #Calciumsignaling meeting in the fall. Remember that we will select two talks for the ECS GA Calcium symposium. Deadline March 31st!

Only few days left to register for the 7th International Cell Senescence Association (ICSA) conference in Groningen (September 29-October 1). Join us to discuss the latest research in cellular senescence and meet tons of stellar sc…lnkd.in/eagJkSmh lnkd.in/eQQErvkN
