A tremendously collaborative effort led by co-first authors: @molecularpepsi (our amazing former postdoc), @joevisker, @jn_velascosilva, and James Carrington (our awesome grad student)!

Congrats to all authors, co-senior authors @gsducker and @StavrosDrakos, and everyone who contributed!

I'm very happy to share the final version of our paper, “MCT1-dependent mitochondrial lactate import sustains cardiac metabolism,” out in Nature! We show how lactate fuels heart mitochondria and helps protect the heart during stress. nature.com/articles/s4158… @UofUBiochem 1/10

We are excited to share this new preprint from our amazing postdoc, @luisci22! Luis discovered that liver cancer cells with overactive beta-catenin switch their mitochondrial fuel usage from glucose to fatty acid oxidation—an unexpected rewiring that challenges conventional Warburg metabolism.

Excited to share my new preprint from the @RutterLab! What sets a cell’s metabolic state? Using MPC1 as a readout in a CRISPR screen, we found that β-catenin regulates metabolic state in liver cancer cells, driving a switch from carbohydrate to fat oxidation. 🧵

Congratulations to our tremendous graduating fellow, @N8Krah, on his newest preprint! Nate will be starting his lab here at @UofUHematology @huntsmancancer. We're excited to continue supporting his research!

🧵 the Krah Lab opens this month and our first preprint is live on bioRxiv!

This was a highly collaborative project with the Chaix Lab, @Dorrance_Lab and @RutterLab asking: does the modality of weight loss change how blood and inflammatory cells are made?

We are thrilled to share this new preprint from our awesome grad student, @Tarun579_599! Tarun discovered that mitochondrial membrane proteins have evolved to incorporate threonines in place of highly hydrophobic residues to assist in their transit from the cytosol to mitochondrial membranes.

Excited to share our new preprint on how mitochondrial membrane proteins incorporate threonine to balance targeting through the aqueous cytosol with membrane stability. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…
