Episode 11 - Laterally Transferred Macrophage Mitochondria Act As A Signalling Source Promoting Cancer Cell Proliferation

This week we discussed the transfer of mitochondria from macrophages to cancer cells with Dr Chelsea Kidwill & Joseph Casalin, a Post-Doctoral Research Associate and PhD student at University of Utah (@UUtah) in the school of medicine. We delve into why this transfer occurs, the mechanism of transfer and how this impacts the recipient cells. We also speak to Joseph about his alternative schooling, in addition to our usual chat about the importance of preprints and our ideas for how to improve academia.
