Pearling and directed trafficking as determinants of mitochondrial genome organization and network architecture

Posted by , on 21 July 2026

In this highlight, we hear from Juan C. Landoni, who discusses his recent work uncovering how mitochondria distribute their genome through pearling (Landoni et al. 2026, Science), and the key role of mitochondrial trafficking in maintaining new material dissemination and network architecture (Winter, Landoni et al. 2026, JCB).

Featured image with Manomay Pawar

Posted by , on 20 July 2026

Our featured image, acquired by Manomay Pawar, depicts MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast cancer cells treated with drug Bemcentinib (R428), a small molecule inhibitor of AXL (a receptor tyrosine kinase) and labelled with phalloidin (actin;green), anti-Paxillin antibody to mark focal adhesions (magenta) and DAPI (DNA;yellow). The white coloured puncta represent colocalisation of paxillin with the ends
