🔬 Newborn screening could spot childhood cancer risks

Genomic newborn screening has the potential to identify children at risk of developing early-onset cancer before symptoms appear. Researchers analyzed DNA from dried blood spots from a Michigan birth cohort spanning 1987 to 2020.

🔋 How mitochondria keep things dynamic inside cells

Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles that manage metabolism and cell signalling beyond just energy production. They possess a complex structure featuring the Outer and Inner Mitochondrial Membranes with specialized cristae. This system is regulated by lipids like cardiolipin, which stabilizes complexes crucial for ATP synthesis. During stress, like low oxygen, mitochondria remodel their structure to adapt to the cellular environment. Ultimately, this dynamic heterogeneity allows the cell to maintain bioenergetic efficiency under various demands.
