organelle

There has been a revolution in the understanding how this organelle works in the last few years.

I think it would be better to describe this as an ‘organelle’ transplant as it would be easier for people to understand and discuss.

Each cell is a submission, each organelle is a comment thread, and every shape represents a live connection to the Firebase HN API.

But it stresses the hell out of the cell's resource distribution systems, as the median useless organelle becomes further away from its vital resources.

Cell diagrams often make it look like there is one MT organelle.

And having those critical functions isolated in what amounts to a pseudo-organelle with its own DNA protects it from a lot of sources of damage/error.

If every cell is conscious, does that make every organelle?

Symbiodinium is probably another good example, it has loads of ecological partners and little remnants of all of those histories in its genetic material and organelle arrangement.

I could imagine an intracellular commensal bacteria that is small and virtually indistinguishable from an organelle like a mitochondria or lysosome that may exist.

All the cellular, organ specific organelle, organ and structural support is given, so the extra bits needed to feed and shape an organ are found organically so to speak.

Metabolite concentration, organelle distribution, etc.

My colleague Timothy Shutt of the University of Calgary likes to call mitochondria the “CEO of the cell”: the chief executive organelle.

Looking to create an "AI detector" is like asking which organelle in a cell contains the "soul".

The M-W link in the search results says "a cone-shaped structure; especially: a hollow organelle shaped like a truncated cone that occurs at the anterior end of the organism".

> Isn't this more akin to receiving an organ transplant A "cell organelle transplant" is a good description, I like that!

And also, I'm totally into Puredata and devices like Organelle, but the learning curve is steep.
