We have wondered what a complex archaeal cell might look like ever since 2014. It’s been a long road (and the journey is far from over), but it’s a good time to pause for breath and look. These Asgard archaeal cells are a surprise! And that is the joy of being a cell biologist.

I wasn’t aware of this. The concept sounds really cool. I like how it gives proteins a more active role in membrane formation. I’ll have to take a closer look with a fresh mind.
