If there’s one thing in your cells you DO NOT want to break, it’s the piece that bottlenecks every single function the cell performs. Which is exactly why scientists broke it. In mice, that is. They sabotaged the mitochondria — the critical energy and signaling hub — in a batch of unlucky rodents, and the […]

It only makes sense that the little organelles behind every single biological function we have, ARE ALSO critically important for doing biologically nothing. Well, at least based off our recollection. Because our nightly unconscious time (aka sleep) is anything but non-eventful . It’s the critical period where the body is finally able to go into […]

Listen, all of our vital organs are important, that’s why they’re called “Vital”.

Because, it’s pretty damn hard to stay “able and capable” […]

You would think that having more energy producing/burning organelles within your pretty cool meat suit, and specifically fat cells themselves, would be a good thing. However, this biological phenomena seems to be a bit of a paradox. More mitochondria technically mean there is a greater potential to synthesize excess energy and keep a healthy balance […]
