Cardiolipin dynamics promote membrane remodeling by mitochondrial OPA1 - Nature Communications
This study reveals how cardiolipin governs mitochondrial morphology by modulating the activity of human OPA1 and how its replacement by monolyso-cardiolipin, as observed in Barth syndrome, impacts mitochondrial membrane-shaping mechanisms.

Important well-explained summary: “NIH has awarded nearly 3,000 fewer research project grants than it did the previous year”.
NIH pulled off a ‘near miracle.’ Scientists say there’s still a problem.
The National Institutes of Health is on track to give away all of its grant money to labs, but research on cancer, aging and diabetes is still being left behind.

This is a hack of epic proportions if true, and I am sure it has an equally interesting back story I hope to hear one day
For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper?
