Talk:Bioblast alert 2015

Bioblast alert - in preparation

Bioblast alert ### to select

• O2k-Publication: Efficiency, basal respiration, and oxygen kinetics in human muscle or Mitochondrial efficiency and P/O flux ratios: new perspectives in mitochondrial physiology (see Journal club);

Larsen FJ, Schiffer TA, Borniquel S, Sahlin K, Ekblom B, Lundberg JO, Weitzberg E (2011) Dietary inorganic nitrate improves mitochondrial efficiency in humans. Cell Metab 13: 149-159.

Larsen FJ, Schiffer TA, Sahlin K, Ekblom B, Weitzberg E, Lundberg JO (2011) Mitochondrial oxygen affinity predicts basal metabolic rate in humans. FASEB J 25: 2843-2852.

• Before alert, ask to join as MiPNet Reference Lab, and present new MiPNet Reference Lab

• Term: efficiency versus P/O ratio
• Scientific service: Oxygen regime for permeabilized fibres - reoxygenations in MiR06.

Bioblast alert - concept

Here is a brief summary on the concept of Bioblast alert.

Some of the following topics (not more than four per alert) will be selected for a Bioblast alert.

MiPNet O2k-Publications

• Topic: O2-kinetics; coupling; pathology; ...
• Preparation: Homogenate/isolated mitochondria; intact/permeabilized cells; permeabilized fibre/in vivo
• Protocols

MiPNet Laboratories of the World

Contact the MiPNet laboratories: show link on the wiki, ask for updates on group, references, website, perhaps major projects (HypoxiaNet), perhaps add pictures, perhaps keywords/short description. Circular: link to presented lab / special occasion (e.g. publication; conference presentation; new member; PhD thesis, ..

High-resolution terminology

• high-resolution terminology - matching measurement at high-resolution. Term of the week: Basal respiration
• Define – Measure: terminology and experimental approach
• Define – Clarify: consider discrepancies, resolve problems

MiPevents

• Conferences and Workshops

Bioblast

• What is new or updated on the website: Lists (chemicals, protocols, scientific service, ..)
• Projects in mitochondrial science (COST HypoxiaNet; Framework programs; ..)
• Links on the Bioblast website; networking in mitochondrial science, presentation of: MIG List, Mitochondrion journal and website; Mitochondrial Societies
• MitoCom News

Bioblast editors

A Bioblast editor may select an O2k-Publication (or a small number of related publications), particularly from a MiPNet Reference Laboratory, may get in contact with the particular reference lab, update info on the lab, and ‘present’ the lab in the alert. A term may be selected (perhaps related to the publication), updated, discussed in our group, and then presented in the alert. An editor does not even have to present an entire alert, but may prepare individual ‘points’, which then can be added to a particular alert. As Bioblast is updated, the updated ‘article’ (term, publication etc) can be added to the prepared points for a future alert.

Draft letter to MiPNet Reference Laboratories

Dear colleague:

As you may have seen from previous circulars, we try to draw attention to some topics on the Bioblast wiki through ‘Bioblast alert’ - http://www.bioblast.at/index.php/Bioblast_alert. What do you think about such regular alerts?

In a next issue, we would like to present your lab as the ‘MiPNet Laboratory of the week’. If you agree, could you do the following:

Check your lab website on the Bioblast wiki: http://www.bioblast.at/index.php/MiPNet_Reference_Laboratories

1. Is your address, Email and Weblink correct?

2. Is your ‘Team’ listed correctly? Perhaps there are other O2k-users in your lab, which may be added as contacts, and previous members of your group having gained experience with the O2k may be listed (Team previous).

3. Are your O2k-Publications complete on the list?

4. Do you want to add any information on MiPNet Keywords and in the free text below the list of publications?

MiPNet Laboratory of the week: Do you want to add any information for ‘Bioblast alert’?

Looking forward to your comments.
