Today I gave a short talk at the #EMBO workshop on Intracellular and organelle mechanobiology. I’m grateful to have been able to share my postdoc project and for the questions/comments! The whole workshop has been super interesting, I have taken a lot of inspiration away from the talks so far and I am excited to for the rest of the day/week.

How do #cancercells manage to infiltrate #lymphnodes, for example, where lots of #immunecells are active and should be able to destroy them? According to a new study in
Cell Metabolism, #mitochondrialtransfer between #cells is the cause. Cancer cells "#steal" these small #organelles, which are highly efficient #energysuppliers, from the immune cells, thereby weakening the latter.

"This species takes up unrelated organism’s #chloroplasts — #organelles that perform #photosynthesis... We know #kleptoplasty is happening here, but we needed to understand why this foraminifer is so successful in the dark, without oxygen"

Teaching about cells, organelles, cell transport or reproduction, etc.? I have resources to share.I’ve taught high school for many years, SPED to Honors. The differentiation & adaptations I made for SPED became sought after by other students, even at Honors level. I've worked hard at developing a helpful sequence of ideas, embedded vocabulary support, step-by-step graphics, and analogies.

"The structure that allows the chloroplast to make necessary changes was found to be a network of thin filaments. Together, these filaments form a material that can easily contract and expand in all directions."

Protein shell discovery reveals how #diatoms capture CO₂ so effectively https://phys.org/news/2024-10-protein-shell-discovery-reveals-diatoms.html

"diatom pyrenoids are encased in a lattice-like protein shell... not only gives the pyrenoid its shape, but it helps create a high CO2 concentration in this compartment. This enables Rubisco to efficiently fix CO2"

How many host proteins do mitochondria-related organelles (MROs), which lack a genome, import? Not many. Here is a super cool paper that uses spatial proteomics to show that the MRO of an oxymonad has only 31 proteins in it! They all seem to be involved in providing small C compounds to the cytosol. (No Fe-S synthesis!) Cool stuff from Vladimír Hampl and colleagues.
