🔬 How stress signals soften the cell nucleus and change the cell 🔄

A research team from the University of Cologne has found that cells in tissues with high energy demand react differently to mitochondrial dysfunction. Instead of shutting down, cells adapt their metabolism in response to stress signals and produce a specific molecule that changes the functions of the cell nucleus.

Viral eukaryogenesis (Microbiology 🦠)

Viral eukaryogenesis is the hypothesis that the cell nucleus of eukaryotic life forms evolved from a large DNA virus in a form of endosymbiosis within a methanogenic archaeon or a bacterium. The virus later evolved into the eukaryotic nucleus by acquiring genes from the host genome and eventually usurping its role. ...
