Isolation of mitochondria is typically a laborious process requiring single-sample processing with Dounce homogenization. The [Mitochondria Isolation Kit](https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/89874#/89874) uses a non-mechanical, reagent-based method that allows multiple (six) cultured cell samples to be processed concurrently in about 40 minutes.

Isolated mitochondria can produce ATP from the oxidation of pyruvate to CO2 and water, provided they are adequately supplied with ADP, inorganic phosphate, and O2.

Oh fuck, the trump avatars in this info graphic are hilarious #humor . Also this taught me everything i needed to know about this #impeachment

Einsteinian physics gives us our best understanding of the natural world, so why are we still hung up on Newton?

Has a eukaryote ever been observed to mistakenly divide inside of itself?

@freemo ok agreed, if kids want to strike they should do it in the weekend. That’s a reasonable compromise. I think you’ve just won me over

Achondroplasia

An autosomal dominant pattern which causes a form of short limbed dwarfism, literal meaning "without cartilage formation".

People with achondroplasia have inherited an altered FGFR3 gene from at least one of their parents. 50% of their children will carry the allele responsible for the disease.

(Non-scientific) article about indigenous rangers tackling extinction of species and loss of biodiversity in outback Australia.

"A key reason for a scientist to work with Aboriginal people in Australia is to try to see the country through their eyes — makes you a better ecologist as well as a richer person."

Great to see what they are doing.

Dear cyanobacteria,
I just want to thank you for all the free oxygen and food you provided when you threw that epic oxygenation party 2.4 billion years ago. Your friend, Mr. binsrc

Hi, I just registered and look forward to participating in the QOTO community. I am a beginner biology student and experienced computer programmer. Glad I registered, it looks comfy here. #new
