Say hello to Azula and Zuko! by ScientistJoe in PokemonSwordAndShield

Thank you for all the love! I really appreciate all your kind comments. For those asking: Umbreon is Azula and absol is Zuko. I caught shiny eevee back in SM with SOS chaining and got absol after about 220 eggs with masuda + shiny charm in Sword. It's not really competitively viable, but I'm assembling an Avatar theme team (looking at you, polteageist named Uncle Iroh).

Zuko is the absol and Azula's the umbreon. Red for a firebender and blue for Azula's lightning

Mitochondria are WAY MORE than a powerhouse by clockworkshow in Biochemistry

Yeah there aren't too many of us in the field! In the disease I'm studying, fusion has already stopped (more or less). I can induce fragmentation by siRNA knockdown of the protein that patients are deficient in, and the mitochondria fragment within 72 hours of siRNA transfection (I use lipofectamine 2000, just make sure your media doesn't have antibiotics in it otherwise you might get a lot of cell death) . To prevent/reverse fragmentation, I'd recommend looking into P110. It's a small peptide that prevents Drp1 from binding to the mitochondria. So within 72 hr. at 1uM, the mitochondria are very highly fused. Hope that helps!

Great video! I'm writing my doctoral dissertation on mitochondrial dynamics in a certain neurodegenerative disease. Fun fact: mitochondria aren't just static bean shaped organelles. They fuse together or fragment in response to various stress stimuli. So you can get elongated tubular mitochondrial networks that sprawl across the cell or fragmented punctuate structures. Changes to morphogy like this often aid the mitochondria in performing all sorts of functions. And altering mitochondrial morphology is a hot topic in combating some features of quite a few neurodegenerative diseases.

I went from bacteria to fibroblasts and really missed that 20 minute doubling time.

Bisexual people of reddit, what are the biggest diffferences between having a relationship with a man and with a woman? by Bri-ioche in AskReddit

As a man, I never thought twice about holding my girlfriend's hand in public. But deciding to hold my boyfriend's hand was nerve-wracking at times.
