Tumblr post by aylwyyn228: "My PhD research was focused on grief in the 19th century. I can tell you exactly how much they would have wanted modern medicine. I've read so many accounts of people writing about how they would have done anything to save their children, their spouses, their siblings. Mothers and fathers who sat up all night praying that their baby would see the morning. People giving huge sums of money to quack doctors in the hope that they could save their wives. Mothers writing about how they would do anything to not leave their children alone. One father after the loss of his fifth child in a month retelling how he had wanted to go outside and scream, but that he was too tired, so he lay down on the dining room floor instead. After I read all that it feels like an insult that anyone in the modern world would turn down vaccines, when for thousands of years countless people would have given everything they had for the opportunity to save their loved ones."

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵
mitochondria from bipolar patients are closer to the nucleus in these images; control patients' are spread out further

Researchers have discovered a new biological process they've called 'interstasis', which keeps groups of proteins in check, preventing excessive build up and protecting the cell from potential harm.
