OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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.
