  1. Mealybugs' missing mitochondrial genes aren't missing after all, rather, they are tucked in on the opposite DNA strand running the other way. This sort of trickery I only knew from viral genomes.

    The amount of genes we may have missed in existing genomes might be a scarily large number. Reminded of the human Y chromosome story, that started at only 3 genes ca. year 2000 and now is already at over 300.

  6. Heart Rate Zone 2 Magic
    Staying in Zone 2 cardio for optimal mitochondrial health and fat oxidation. A brisk walk where you can talk but not sing is the sweet spot.
    Drop a 🔥 if you love high-yield, low-stress workouts!

  9. Martin Picard’s Mitochondrial Theory of Mind…
    quantamagazine.org/martin-pica
    "Picard agreed that some of the lab’s hypotheses at first strike some academic researchers as sounding a little 'woo.' But science has always been driven by bold, challenging ideas that are then rigorously tested and refined. As Picard put it, 'There’s a lot of things that used to be considered ‘woo’ until we understood them'." #mitochondria

    TITLE: Mediterranean diet may activate tiny proteins that protect the heart and brain

    URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    The Mediterranean diet may influence aging through tiny proteins produced inside the cell’s mitochondria. Older adults who followed the diet most closely had higher levels of humanin and SHMOOSE, which have been linked to heart and brain protection. Olive oil, fish, legumes, and fewer refined carbohydrates appeared especially important. The findings could eventually help scientists develop more personalized nutrition plans for healthy aging.
