www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Very happy to have added a small contribution to this important Science paper just released yesterday! The study demonstrates a direct interaction of peroxisomes and mitochondria to deal with reactive oxygen species that could cause oxidative damage.

ROS transfer at peroxisome-mitochondria contact regulates mitochondrial redox
Maintenance of mitochondrial redox homeostasis is of fundamental importance to cellular health. Mitochondria harbor a host of intrinsic antioxidant defenses, but the contribution of extrinsic, nonmito...

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects
A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

Storm Darragh prevented my trip to Heidelberg tomorrow. No stereology workshop on Monday then but we will reschedule for next year!
