Bioblast alert 2013(01): 2013-07-08

  • MitoPedia glossary: Basal respiration in physiology, cellular bioenergetics and mitochondrial physiology - an updated article, introducing Bioblast-MitoPedia.
  • MitoGlobal project: The Mitochondrial Global Network (MitoGlobal) initiates a joint publication to review the state-of-the-art terminology in the rapidly expanding field of mitochondrial respiratory physiology. From the present start there is a long way to go, and we invite experts in the field to a joint walk, asking for your suggestions - Email to Erich Gnaiger.
  • MiPsummer School 2013: Mitochondrial Physiology - "Theory & Praxis" - the annual highlight that students of cellular bioenergetics and mitochondrial physiology cannot afford to miss! August 26-30, 2013, Copenhagen, Denmark.
  • MiPconference 2013 - Comparative Mitochondrial Physiology MiP2013, September 23-27, 2013, Obergurgl, Austria. Due to some cancellations, a limited number of late registrations can still be accepted. >>MiP2013 abstracts online

  • MitoPedia news: The uncoupler CCCP - Carbonyl cyanide m-chloro phenyl hydrazone: In our on-going experiments with various sources of mitochondria and different mt-preparations, we observed that results on respiration and mt-membrane potential were fully comparable using CCCP or FCCP as uncouplers (protonophores) in parallel experiments. Therefore, from now on our lab will replace FCCP by CCCP. Optimum concentrations for the estimation of ETS capacity are slightly higher for CCCP compared to FCCP. Importantly, CCCP is far less expensive than FCCP (protocol development supported by MitoCom).
  • Selection of appropriate methodologies: A recently published review by Perry and colleagues provides a critical assessment of currently used methodologies and instruments used in respirometry – excellent reading. Perry CG, Kane DA, Lanza IR, Neufer PD (2013) Methods for assessing mitochondrial function in diabetes. Diabetes 62: 1041-1053.
  • MitoPedia Glossary - new section: Respiratory control ratios.
