The response of mitochondrial position to glucose stimulation in a model system of the pancreatic beta cell

Luis Perez, Xue Wen Ng, Michael Mohs, David W. Piston, Shankar Mukherji

The paper examines mitochondrial positioning in pancreatic beta cells under glucose stimulation and identifies active transport and calcium activity as key regulators of mitochondrial redistribution.

Multiplexed quantum sensing reveals coordinated thermomagnetic regulation of mitochondria

Md Shakil Bin Kashem, Stella Varnum, Olivia Lazorik, Rocky Giwa, Shiva Iyer, Changyu Yao, David W. Piston, Chong Zu, Jonathan R. Brestoff, Shankar Mukherji

This study uses quantum sensors to show that mitochondria in mouse cells regulate temperature and magnetic fields through iron-dependent feedback loops, with altered profiles in a Leigh syndrome model.

Robustness and universality in organelle size control

Kiandokht Panjtan Amiri, Asa Kalish, Shankar Mukherji

This study uses mathematical theory to show that organelle sizes in yeast and human cells follow a universal scaling relationship, suggesting burst-like growth as a mechanism for size control.
