Characterizing the role of mitochondrial dynamics during Drosophila convergent extension using NADH fluorescence lifetime imaging

Maria Espana-Pena, Alan E. Woessner, Kyle P. Quinn, Adam C. Paré

This study uses NADH FLIM to analyze mitochondrial dynamics during Drosophila convergent extension, finding that mitochondrial network topology is critical for proper tissue remodeling.

Surprising regulatory plasticity for the conserved HOG pathway in diverse Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains

Carson L. Stacy, Amanda N. Scholes, Tara N. Stuecker…·Jeffrey A. Lewis

The paper shows that Hog1 in wild S. cerevisiae strains has a broader stress response than in lab strains, with distinct non-osmotic stress gene regulation.
