Seeker: Mitochondria Aren’t Just the Powerhouse of the Cell
Mitochondria are so much more than the powerhouse of the cell. In this episode, Patrick explores why this organelle is so unique and introduces new research that you probably didn’t hear about in school.
Shadow's reactions in this scene make me so sad. People were afraid of him, testing his powers, using him for experiments and no one treated him like a living being so, when he saw Maria for the first time, he expected the same from her. He was afraid of her and everything she was doing. It took him so long to realize that she didn't want to hurt him and he was surprised and confused when he realized that she just wants to play with him. The first person who saw him as a kid and not as a monster.
A few rotten apples shouldn’t ruin the whole bunch. With millions of cells in the body, it’s inevitable that some will make a misstep and need to be quietly removed. Extrusion is one method for such a dismissal, when a rogue cell is squeezed out of a layer of cells with minimal disruption to its neighbours (pictured, centre pink cell being extruded from the green embryo of a microscopic worm). A new study investigated genetic activity linked to extrusion, and revealed that the process is triggered when cells falter in the midst of DNA replication and cell division. Such errors can prompt cancer development, so removing these cells might be an intrinsic cancer-prevention technique. Further experiments in human cells revealed the involvement of a well-known cancer suppressor protein called p53, showing the body aims to cull cancerous cells before they get going.
