In a new study, scientists engineered baker’s yeast to sense and respond to different colours of light, enabling new ways to control cellular behavior with red and blue light.
Researchers have discovered that proteins released from mitochondria can activate the immune system in a similar way to invading bacteria, suggesting that remnants of mitochondria’s evolutionary past may contribute to inflammation.
