Congratulations to Sabrina Romanelli, who received a prestigious Graduate Student Award from Parkinson Canada (205-2027 cycle). This competitive 2-yr $40,000 award was given to 11 exceptional doctoral trainees across Canada working on Parkinson’s disease. Sabrina’s project aims to elucidate the mechanism of PINK1 activation on damaged mitochondria via interactions with the translocation machinery. Her work will help us understand how Parkinson-associated genetic variants impair PINK1’s function.

Congratulations to Danielle Simons-PhD2 in Dr. Jean-Francois Trempe's lab, who has been awarded the 2025 Max Eivaskhani Memorial Fellowship from CRBS

Myostatin is a paracrine myokine that regulates muscle mass in a variety of species, including humans. In this work, they report a functional role for myostatin as an endocrine hormone that directly promotes pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesis and thereby ovarian function in mice. Previously, this FSH-stimulating role was attributed to other members of the transforming growth factor-β family, the activins. Their results both challenge activin's eponymous role in FSH synthesis and establish an unexpected endocrine axis between skeletal muscle and the pituitary gland.
