A mitochondrion with a snippet sliced off so you can see its inside

Giant Mitochondria in the Myocardium of a Patient With Mitochondrial Cardiomyopathy: Transmission and 3-Dimensional Scanning Electron Microscopy.

Peering into mitochondria - gorgeous life patterns!. The parallel infolding are "cristae" where respiration and energy transformation happen. The purpose of breathing is to bring oxygen to your cristae

Much of our behaviors are likely driven by the behavior of energy in our mitochondria.

Living organisms like birds achieve remarkable energetic and behavioral feats by remodeling their mitochondria. The metabolic plasticity of life is remarkable — nothing compares in the non-living world.

There is strong support for Alzheimer's disease being Type 3 diabetes or "diabetes of the brain". Metabolic dysfunction affects multiple organ systems and their ability to work coherently, at low energetic cost, keeping us in a good health state. This video is an example from a.

Several new papers on light-biology interactions recently. Understanding how patterned energy in it rawest form (light) interacts with crystallized energy (biochemistry and material things) could transform our view of health. @msahsorin and others leading the way - thank you!.

Great work by @HermanPontzer and team, using a superb international resource on human energy expenditure led by @JohnSpeakman4.

People living in countries with more ultra processed foods (UPF) tend to have more body fat. But there is an enormous spread/variance around the means - understanding the psychobiology of inter-individual variances here would likely be revealing

There is now overwhelming evidence that what and how much we eat affects most health-related outcomes, including obesity and associated consequences.

… the *etiology* of Alzheimer’s disease.

It seems likely based on biological, neuroimaging, clinical, and nutritional data that the ideology of Alzheimer’s disease is energetic.

RT @VamsiMootha: Wow, fatty acid oxidation in neurons! Time to update the textbooks?!.

If the lifespan extending effects of psilocybin in cells and mice replicate, there’s something very meaningful happening biologically that deserves attention.

Doing a PhD is it’s like a living process: it takes energy, it evolves overtime, and it has some degree of unpredictability so you don’t know how and when it’s going to end.

20% heritability for lifespan is likely the very high end of the deterministic spectrum. Best estimates that take into assortative mating (people tend to mate with people who look and behave like them) is closer to 7%. How long you live is mostly not written in your genes.

What is stress? . How can we measure it? . And how do we develop resilience and grow from challenges? .
