Excited to share our latest work in collaboration with the @edreznik.bsky.social lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social, where we describe functionally dominant mitochondrial DNA mutations in patient tumors. So, what is functional dominance in mitochondrial genetics, I hear you ask?

Nice one Brent and team
🚨Excited to announce a new preprint from our lab, where we describe an ancient metabolic axis that controls mitochondrial genome copy number; a mechanism we uncovered in human cells that stretches through evolution to control mtDNA in flies, yeast and even plants!
We are proud to support the 2nd Scottish Cell Biology Meeting on 4th September in Glasgow

Our new study is out in Nature Communications.
Using TNBC organoid mouse models, we show that necroptosis in both tumour and stromal compartments cooperatively drives effective responses to immunogenic cell death–based immunotherapy.

Most advanced triple-negative breast cancers remain resistant to immunotherapy. Here, the authors discover that RIPK1-driven necroptosis in both tumor and stromal compartments is essential for effecti...
