Welcome to read our new manuscript. Foozhan et al., found that ribosome-associated translation quality control (RQC) and its subsequent steps actively regulate mitochondrial dynamics and function to adapt to the energy fluctuations of eukaryotic cells.

doi.org/10.7554/eLife.99438.… Our most recent manuscript in eLife, thanks to our collaboration with Dr. Olivia Lu's lab. It explains the impact of the ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) pathway on the mitochondrial membrane potential and tumor development in gliomas.

Our lab’s latest paper, out today in the Journal of General Physiology @SMUBiology
In @JGenPhysiol, @yaolisiman et al. @GlasscockLab show that genetic or pharmacological ablation of Kv1.1 K⁺ channel subunits reduces the firing rate of the heart’s sinoatrial node in mice, identifying Kv1.1 as a novel regulator of cardiac pacemaking. hubs.la/Q02HrT9S0
