Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Mitochondria undergo stress induced hyperfusion to adapt their metabolic function and safeguard cellular survival during starvation.
The mechanisms that regulate the underlying cell-biological program are however largely unknown.
In this talk I am going to discuss how lipid transfer at contact sites between mitochondria and lipid droplets controls metabolic remodelling and promotes cell survival.
Specifically I will explain how the lipid transfer protein mitoguardin 2 couples these fundamental aspects of cell physiology.
