Mitochondria and chloroplasts shared in animal and plant tissues: significance of communication.
TL;DR: The dynamic capacity of mitochondria is also noted by their ability to function anaerobically, and this latter phenomenon may represent a return to an earlier developmental stage of mitochondia, suggesting certain disorders result from its untimely appearance.
Mitochondria, Chloroplasts in Animal and Plant Cells: Significance of Conformational Matching.
TL;DR: The dual presence of mitochondria and functional chloroplasts within specialized animal cells indicates a high degree of biochemical identity, stereoselectivity, and conformational matching that are the likely keys to their functional presence and essential endosymbiotic activities for over 2.5 billion years.

TL;DR: Endogenous morphinergic signaling, in concert with NO-coupled signaling systems, has evolved as an autocrine/paracrine regulator of metabolic homeostasis, energy metabolism, mitochondrial respiration and energy production.

Mitochondria, Microbiome and Their Potential Psychiatric Modulation
TL;DR: The microbiome has the potential to extend its influence into the brain, suggesting this may also take place within the parameters of normal activity, and the behavioral outcome of such an inappropriate invasion would depend on the region(s) penetrated.

The NuA4 Acetyltransferase, Acetylation of Histone H4 and the H2A.Z Variant Histone are Required for Appropriate RNA Splicing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase and targeted acetylation of histone H4, which is known to alter chromatin structure and promote gene expression, is also important for regulating RNA splicing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is tested and supported.
