♻  𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐊 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞-𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 ⚡ The @LabSakamoto has discovered molecular pathways that quality control and optimize mitochondrial function. The research, published in the scientific journal @MolecularCell, could open up new avenues for treating a wide range of diseases by restoring the balance of these crucial energy producers within our cells. 🤝 The discovery arose from a unique collaboration between three different research groups. At the @dundeeuni @mrcppu, the @LabGanley possess expertise in mitophagy, while the @CarolMacKintos1 Lab works on the phosphoprotein-binding 14-3-3 proteins. These two labs teamed up with the Sakamoto Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, who focus on AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a master regulator of energy metabolism. 💬 “This fruitful collaboration exemplifies the power of collaboration in synergizing efforts from scientists with unique expertise in approaches, techniques, and tools to solve complex scientific problems. The work provides new insights into the role for AMPK in coordinating energy balance through quality controlling mitochondria,” says Professor @Kei__Sakamoto. cbmr.ku.dk/news/2024/energy-…
