Ending the week with a #CellBiology gem and a great science read for the weekend😉
🧪Cells don’t just respond to wounds, they read their shape: Endoplasmic reticulum senses wound curvature and helps cells choose the most efficient way to repair tissue.

Vast Diversity of Self-Reproducing RNAs Further Supports the Plausibility of an RNA origin of life
🧪 Could life have started with RNA?
HFSP-supported researchers show that an astronomical diversity of RNAs can self-reproduce — making an RNA-based origin of life far more plausible. What do you think?
