📢New @KFW_Lab paper out! AML mitochondria remain unperturbed & phenotypically stable under diverse nutrient conditions. And rather than specific nutrients or physiological relevance, AML cell proliferation is influenced by the complete nutrient profile 👉 cancerandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

This⬇️ we are literally a mitochondrial lab and even we don’t just think about mitos

The mitochondria explain everything cult is my favorite one...



Cell respiration is critical, but it is very hard to kill AML cells by inhibiting respiration. Respiration is not the target.

There’s a profound lesson for life here. You can beat yourself up. You can—and should—dwell on the thing for a bit. It’s supposed to sting; that means you care. But at some point, you have to remember that you were in the arena, making the best call you could with the…

How do dividing cells maintain mtDNA euploidy? Sharing new work by Sneha Rath that shows how the proton motive force (PMF) acts as a "puppeteer" to balance cell proliferation & mtDNA replication to maintain a stable mtDNA copy number. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Good work here. Concentrations vs fluxes.

Human muscle cells incorporate glucose into proteins, RNA, and lipids, and anabolic stimulation further increased these processes. Resistance training increased metabolites and enzymes of these processes, e.g., PHGDH, which was shown to be anabolic. tinyurl.com/2744e22s

Slight caution: Labeling glutamine, blocking glutaminase, and *only* looking at labeled extracellular succinate might not give clear insight into the mitochondrial pathway. AKG can be exported & converted to succinate outside of the mito. nature.com/articles/s4146…
