OMIGOD, I tried to memory hole this, but every time I see the word 'mitochondria' I remember midichlorians.

Fucking midichlorian counts! Jeez.

Although lactate has been studied for centuries, there is still controversy about how this molecule is handled by cells

Lactate takes a shortcut into mitochondria to power the heart
A cellular fuel called lactate is channelled directly into energy-generating organelles in heart muscle, defying the prevailing view about lactate transport.

My reasons for still caring about Covid-19.

1) Each infection crosses blood brain barrier, fusing neurons, disrupting them, disrupting mitochondria energy production.

I worked hard to get my brain to work how it does, I don’t want it & all my extra schooling to go down the drain with brain fog.

👴 Aging in #Yeast starts earlier than expected. Stress resistance drops after just 4 daughter cells. Retrograde mitochondria-to-nucleus signaling via Rtg1/Rtg3 begins failing early, allowing damaged mitochondria to accumulate

Explore the hidden world of mitochondria! Trophoblast differentiation in the placenta unveils intricate changes in mitochondrial volume and network complexity—quantified in 3D. PMID:42420306, Nat Commun 2026, @NatureComms https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-75408-8 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG 🧪
Electron tomography reveals mitochondrial network and cristae remodelling during cell differentiation in the human placenta | Nature Communications
Mitochondria adapt their structure through fusion and fission, yet how their morphology and cristae architecture change as cells differentiate remains unclear. The human placenta is a valuable model for studying mitochondrial diversity within a single tissue. As epithelial trophoblast cells of the placenta differentiate, their accompanying mitochondria morphologically and functionally transform. We use array tomography to characterise mitochondrial volume and network complexity. Cryo-electron tomography reveals two distinct subpopulations of mitochondria within preparations enriched for progenitor cytotrophoblasts, and a singular, homogeneous population in the differentiated syncytiotrophoblast. We showcase the 3D topology of individual cristae through a standardised metric of “curvedness”. Proteomic analysis of isolated mitochondria identifies reduced levels of proteins involved in mitochondrial dynamics and cristae organisation complexes in the syncytiotrophoblast, accompanied by var
