On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
