Mitochondria can spawn new ‘organelles’ — hinting at how modern cells evolved https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01295-0 #science #evolution #mitochondria #organelles

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.

New research on #protists sheds light on #DeepSea energy sources https://www.whoi.edu/press-room/news-release/foraminifer/

Array of metabolic pathways in kleptoplastidic #foraminifera supports #chemoautotrophy in dark, euxinic seafloor sediments https://academic.oup.com/ismej/article/19/1/wrae248/7923457 by Fatma Gomaa et al.

"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.

Light-regulated #chloroplast morphodynamics in a single-celled dinoflagellate https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2411725121

"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"
