La Vía Láctea no solo se mueve a 600 km/s, sino que también "bate sus alas" como una mariposa

[William A. Wallace, Ph.D. @WilliamWallace]

Evolution seemingly builds complexity from the familiar molecular foundations.

At first glance, plants and humans seem worlds apart, but at the molecular level, the chemistry of life speaks a shared language.

The green pigment chlorophyll, which lets plants capture sunlight for photosynthesis, and hemoglobin, the red protein that carries oxygen in our blood, are strikingly similar in structure. Both molecules share a ring-shaped framework called a porphyrin ring, responsible for binding metal atoms at their center.

The only major difference?

In chlorophyll, the central atom is magnesium (Mg) - tuned to capture light energy.

In hemoglobin, it’s iron (Fe) - perfectly suited to bind and release oxygen.

This variation shows how life can reuse successful designs, adapting them to serve entirely different purposes: one molecule turning sunlight into chemical energy, the other carrying oxygen to sustain that energy in animals.

Some mitochondria become extremely long and have multiple branches, like these two mitochondria in green

Some mitochondria shoot out thin protrusions: mitochondrial nanotunnels

Exercise triggers mitochondrial biogenesis, increasing the number and size of the mitochondrial collective in various cell types

What else do we know increases mitochondrial content?

What else should we test?

[Martin Picard @MitoPsychoBio]

Seeing this mitochondrial reconstruction for the first time with @MitoLoveLab was one of the most exciting sight ever! It changed my life.

What do you see?

Ya esta en Open Access nuestro trabajo de un organo en un chip (OOC). El primero de este tipo en Mexico. Nuestro Laboratorio de Mecanobiología esta muy orgulloso de este trabajo, esperando seguir siendo un referente de esta tecnología en el país.

Proud to have contributed to this story from @lleybova and others, now out in @Dev_Cell! We show that hair follicle cell fates are radially patterned by Wnt and Shh gradients and that position and fate determine morphogenetic behavior. https://t.co/O1aMI8beFL
