Out damned spot!

Oh hey what’s this, “The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell”

Two genomes in one mitochondrion: mitochondrial heteroplasmy and mitogenome dynamics in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
The mitochondrial genome of the model green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has long been described as a 15.8-kb linear molecule capped by inverted telomeres. By leveraging high-accuracy long-read sequ...

Age 6 or so, nearly making my dad crash the car by telling them the facts of life which I'd been reading in the Readers' Digest Family Health Guide. Apparently, "I used all the right words and everything."

And by "facts of life" I don't mean "the mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell."
please delight me with your most on-brand story from your childhood

mine is that I quit Cubs after two weeks because it clashed with Coronation Street

Grammatical pet peeve:

"Mitochondria" is plural. Its singular form is "mitochondrion".

"The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" No the fuck it isn't, it's "The mitochondria ARE the powerhouseS of the cell" or "A mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell"

Unprecedented atlas explores mitochondria across the tree of life🧪
www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The mitoproteomes of five parasites and a plant hold medical potential — and reignite the question of just when the mitochondrion evolved. Finds in nine papers revealing dozens of proteins.

Today together with Prof. John McCutcheon lab
@arizonastateuni.bsky.social
we have visualized by cryoEM what looks like a very funky ribosome from an insect endosymbiont.
We believe there are important evolutionary implications.
Here the pre-print:

n organismo dentro de otro organismo. Una simbiosis comenzada hace miles de millones de años, una coevolución interna donde se ceden genes y se juega un papel principal en el metabolismo y en la salud.

Un tema fascinante.

🫛ミトコンドリアの代表的な特徴である2つが、ホジキニアでも見つかった
➀宿主のタンパク質を取り込んでいること
②特定の構造部分が変形していること
🫛つまり、これらの変化は「ミトコンドリアに固有のものではなく」、長期間共生してきた細菌に共通して起こる現象だった
