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...

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...

Excited to share our new paper from the Williams lab, led by Nina-Lydia Kazakou ๐Ÿš€ Iโ€™m delighted to have contributed to this study on how the diabetes drug metformin impacts mitochondria and human oligodendrocyte function! ๐Ÿง  read it here at: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
