The MITOtalk of June 2026 takes place this week due to the Euromit meeting next week. And our speaker Heidi McBride will take us to a recently discovered role of mitochondria: peroxisome biogenesis! This thursday (May 28!), usual time and place. See you there?

We talk a lot about mitochondrial stress, but how about how do they keep themselves balanced? Good thing our speaker @nieminm.bsky.social knows everything about that, and will tell all on the next MITOtalk. Usual time and place. See you there?

Thinking about remodeling? Mitochondria do that too... and our speaker knows all about it. This thursday, usual time and place. See you there?

In case you overloaded mitochondria and peroxisomes during your holidays, know that they are talking about it... and our speaker Peter Kim overheard the conversation. This thursday, usual time and place. See you there?

Our new preprint is out 🥳🥳🥳 Henipaviruses, like Nipah and Hendra, package their genomes inside helical shells built by thousands of nucleoproteins. These nucleocapsids are essential to protect the viral RNA, but how do they ever let the polymerase in to read the sequence? 👇

Who wouldn't want a good workout for their mitochondria to be fit?? Learn with our speaker Kostas Tokatlidis how to get them fit! We would tell you the time and place, but you know where to find this MITOtalk on October 2nd. Right?
