Direct cell-to-cell transmission of retrotransposons
Retrotransposons can infect neighboring cells using a mechanism that relies on a small fusogen-like protein rather than on the envelope protein that is typically required for infection.

⚡️Ukraine's Kyivstar conducts first Starlink direct-to-cell test in Eastern Europe.
The service, already in its testing phase, allows standard 4G smartphones to connect directly to Starlink satellites without additional equipment.

Donald Trump would love for an Iran terror cell to hit the US. Something they probably think would galvanize people to support Trump. But it would be a direct retaliation for Trump actions no one wanted.

One of biggest mysteries in biology: how did complex eukaryotic cells evolve from simple microbes? ~1.8 billion years ago, an archaeal cell likely merged with a bacterium to form the first eukaryotic cell, but can we ever find direct evidence of this transformative event? 🦠 🚶♂️
