📢 Our latest preprint on the role of mitochondria on neuronal function is out! We generated much needed new mouse models to manipulate transport in vivo, identifying GABAergic synapses for being particularly vulnerable to mitochondrial turnover rates. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Mitochondrial turnover at central GABAergic synapses governs vulnerability to epileptic seizures
Mitochondrial dysfunction has long been known to underlie neurodegeneration, yet the contribution of mitochondrial turnover dynamics to functional aspects of defined synaptic circuits remains poorly u...

Finally out at @nature.com! Co-led with @motorilab.bsky.social, Max Anstötz, Silvio Rizzoli, Christian Rheinardt and Filippo Beleggia, we show that SCLC hijack glutamatergic synapses for proliferation advantage. Congrats to all involved! @cecad.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Functional synapses between neurons and small cell lung cancer - Nature
Small cell lung cancer cells form functional synapses with glutamatergic neurons, receiving synaptic transmissions and deriving a proliferative advantage from these interactions.

🎉 Countdown is on! Leading up to the EMBO Workshop "Mitochondria in the Nervous System" in Engelberg (Switzerland), we’ll be spotlighting some of the exciting talks, themes, and speakers you won’t want to miss 🔍🧠⚡ We’ll kick things off on September 28 with Erika Holzbaur as our keynote speaker.
