⚡️We are excited to share a new paper from the lab by @drkhole.bsky.social in @cp-cellrepmethods.bsky.social - suggesting MitoTracker dyes are not a reliable tool for detecting intercellular mitochondrial transfer❗️ www.cell.com/cell-reports...

MitoTracker transfers from astrocytes to neurons independently of mitochondria

The mitochondrial dye MitoTracker is commonly used to investigate intercellular mitochondrial transfer (IMT), particularly between astrocytes and neurons. Hole et al. compare MitoTracker with a geneti...

Check out the first review from the Mitochondrial Neurobiology lab on... lysosomes! Learn about the non-canonical roles of lysosomes in neurons from @jonnyspencer.bsky.social @ysudarikova.bsky.social: www.cell.com/trends/neuro...

Non-canonical roles of lysosomes in neurons

Neurons are highly polarised and compartmentalised cells with organelles that are specialised to support their spatial and functional demands. This includes lysosomes, which are single-membrane-bound ...

Congratulations to Dr. Patrick Cottilli who has successfully defended his PhD viva yesterday!!🎉 This is a huge milestone for our lab - our first-ever PhD graduate!⭐ So proud of your hard work, creativity, and perseverance throughout these 4 years. Here's to the amazing science ahead!🔬

Preprint alert 🚨In collaboration with MSD (UK) - we have found that the mitochondrial dye MitoTracker transfers from astrocytes to neurons independently of mitochondria.
