Special thanks to Giada and Serena from the LMU MS facility, as well as Lea and Hannes @herrmannlab.bsky.social for their pulldown experiment with catalytically inactive Pim1. Also grateful for the Dean’s support in making this research public! Thanks to @osman-lab.bsky.social for the experience!

It was a particular pleasure to supervise and include undergraduate students Charlotte, Sebastian and Romina in our exciting journey through the project.

One big advantage of laser induction is you can cause pearling whenever you want, in just the mitochondrial tube that you want, so it is very precise and controllable. Combined with STED imaging it has been possible to get some beautiful images of cristae and nucleoids during pearling

The transient nature of pearling makes it hard to detect - in normal cells you might need to sit and watch one spot for a long time and then, if you blink, you'll miss it

He found that pearling was ubiquitous, occurring in every cell type that he has looked at, including: U2OS, Hek293, COS7, RPE1, Jurkat, primary human fibroblasts primary CD8 T-cells, iPSC derived neurons, and budding yeast (shown here).
