A Non-canonical Role for Hepatocyte MLKL in Promoting Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Senescence in the Aging Liver
Sabira Mohammed, Chao Jiang, Travis Pennington…·Sathyaseelan S. Deepa
This study shows that MLKL in hepatocytes promotes liver aging by inducing senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction without causing necroptosis.

Combining in vivo 2-photon imaging with photoactivatable fluorescent labeling reveals strikingly low rates of mitochondrial dynamics in skeletal muscle.
Colleen L. O’Reilly, Arik Davidyan, Katarzyna Cizio…·Benjamin F. Miller
This study uses in vivo 2-photon imaging and photoactivatable fluorescent labeling to show that mitochondrial dynamics in skeletal muscle are slower in vivo than previously thought, with age-related differences and exercise-induced increases.

Fis1 is required for the development of the dendritic mitochondrial network in pyramidal cortical neurons
Klaudia Strucinska, Parker Kneis, Travis Pennington…·Tommy L. Lewis
This study shows Fis1 depletion reduces dendritic mitochondrial length and alters mitochondrial function, leading to increased calcium levels and changes in dendritic branching and spine density.

Metformin treatment results in distinctive skeletal muscle mitochondrial remodeling in rats with different intrinsic aerobic capacities
Matthew P. Bubak, Arik Davidyan, Colleen L. O’Reilly…·Benjamin F. Miller
This study shows metformin induces different mitochondrial remodeling in rat skeletal muscle based on baseline aerobic capacity and muscle type.

The majority of axonal mitochondria in mammalian neuronslack mitochondrial DNA and do not produce ATP
Yusuke Hirabayashi, Tommy L. Lewis, Yudan Du…·Franck Polleux
The paper shows that most axonal mitochondria in mammalian neurons lack mtDNA and do not produce ATP, contrasting with dendritic mitochondria.

Neuronal mitochondrial morphology is significantly affected by both fixative and oxygen level during perfusion
Su Yeon Kim, Klaudia Strucinska, Bertha Osei…·Tommy L. Lewis
This study identifies fixation and oxygen levels during perfusion as critical factors affecting neuronal mitochondrial morphology in vitro and in vivo.

Aβ42 oligomers trigger synaptic loss through CAMKK2-AMPK-dependent effectors coordinating mitochondrial fission and mitophagy
Annie Lee, Chandana Kondapalli, Daniel M. Virga…·Franck Polleux
This study shows Aβ42 oligomers cause synaptic loss by activating CAMKK2-AMPK, which coordinates mitochondrial fission and mitophagy in neurons.

Antagonistic action of Siah2 and Pard3/JamC to promote germinal zone exit of differentiated cerebellar granule neurons by modulating Ntn1 signaling via Dcc
Christophe Laumonnerie, Maleelo Shamambo, Daniel R. Stabley…·David J. Solecki
The paper shows how Siah2 and Pard3/JamC modulate Ntn1 signaling via Dcc to control GZ exit of cerebellar granule neurons.

Necroptosis increases with age in the brain and contributes to age-related neuroinflammation
Nidheesh Thadathil, Evan H. Nicklas, Sabira Mohammed…·Sathyaseelan S. Deepa
This study shows that necroptosis increases with age in the brain and contributes to age-related neuroinflammation in mice.

Haploinsufficiency of autism candidate gene NUAK1 impairs cortical development and behavior
Virginie Courchet, Amanda J. Roberts, Géraldine Meyer-Dilhet…·Julien Courchet
This study shows that haploinsufficiency of the autism candidate gene Nuak1 in mice causes cortical development defects and behavioral abnormalities resembling ASD, intellectual disability, and schizophrenia.
