  6. Scientists have revealed a new role of chloroplasts in plant immunity against viral and bacterial pathogens. When plants sense infection, chloroplasts form tube-like projections called "stromules," which cluster around the nucleus, serving as conduits for pro-defense signals. Despite previous knowledge of stromule involvement, a key protein crucial for stromule formation during immunity remained unidentified until now.

  7. Plant chloroplasts promise potential therapy for Huntington’s disease

    A chloroplast enzyme safeguards plants against pathological protein aggregation that causes Huntington’s and other neurodegenerative diseases / new research may have found a way to “copy” the mechanism for application in human cells.

  8. Relationship status: *It's complicated*🤷

    Lee et al. work on untangling how the targeting specificity of signal-anchored #proteins is determined for specific targeting to #mitochondria and #chloroplasts.

  9. How cells gain control over their bacterial #symbionts phys.org/news/2022-12-cells-ga

    Host-#symbiont interactions in #Angomonas deanei include the evolution of a host-derived dynamin ring around the #endosymbiont division site cell.com/current-biology/fullt

    Similar to #mitochondria and #chloroplasts, the #genome of the #bacterium is already reduced... The integration is sufficiently advanced for cell division to occur synchronously: When the host divides, so does the bacterium.
