A newly found organelle, the hemifusome, helps manage cellular recycling. It may play a role in inherited diseases and open paths to new the
New organelle discovered in the human cell!!! It's called a hemifusome, and might help organize, throw out the trash, and do recycling! (So to speak.)
I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE
So we've just discovered a new part of the cell! (AND IT WAS DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN, Y'ALL) They think it's the part of the cell that 'recycles' proteins and removes waste.
Why is this potentially the coolest thing in a long time?
DEMENTIA, ALZHEIMERS AND PARKINSONS ARE BELIEVED TO BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO PROTEIN BUILDUPS IN THE BRAIN.
This discovery could potentially lead to treatments and even cures for some of the scariest things that can happen to us.
As someone who lost multiple grandparents to dementia, this is incredible. This might be the biggest discovery of our lifetimes.
SCIENCE FUCKING RULES.
