Mitochondria contact lipid droplets through the mitochondrial import complex binding to lipid metabolism enzyme Ayr1 - Nature Cell Biology
Heinen et al. show that the mitochondrial import complex recruits lipid droplets to the mitochondrial outer membrane. The mitochondrial import complex binds to the lipid metabolism enzyme Ayr1 and con...

Excited to share our new paper from the Williams lab, led by Nina-Lydia Kazakou 🚀 I’m delighted to have contributed to this study on how the diabetes drug metformin impacts mitochondria and human oligodendrocyte function! 🧠 read it here at: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Metformin alters mitochondria-related metabolism and enhances human oligodendrocyte function - Nature Communications
Metformin is under clinical trial for brain neuroprotection but how it may work is poorly understood. Here, the authors show that metformin helps myelin formation by human oligodendrocytes and improve...

The UKRN replication games are ongoing. We have 54 participants reproducing 14 papers. Breakdown: 8 @naturehumbehav.bsky.social, 4 @psychscience.bsky.social, 1 @ajpseditor.bsky.social and 1 @aeajournals.bsky.social. Lots of fun (and coffee as this event started at 4AM ET)!
