Mitochondrial transplants between living cells could save dying organs (3 minute read)

Mitochondrial transplantation is an experimental therapy that has shown promise in animal studies as a way to rejuvenate tissues affected by mitochondrial dysfunction. Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a method of mitochondrial transplantation that is minimally invasive and has a high success rate with unparalleled efficiency. It involves using a specially-developed nanosyringe to transplant mitochondria. The research could result in new ways to treat diseased organs and methods to rejuvenate cells damaged by age.

A company just took a major step closer to animal-free eggs (3 minute read)

EVERY EggWhite is the world's first animal-free egg white. It features the taste and culinary utility of egg whites without involving any chickens in its production. The proteins in the egg whites are produced using engineered yeast. The egg whites are suitable for vegans but not those who are allergic to eggs due to the presence of nature-equivalent egg proteins. EVERY is collaborating with San Francisco-based bakery Chantal Guillon to produce French macarons using the product.

Maybe you should do less 'work' (3 minute read)

Some developers finish their assigned workloads faster than expected and then they ask for more similar work to do. Part of the reason for this is to try to reach a standard that they have already met. Constantly overworking can lead to burnout. Finding other activities to do along with work that can benefit both you and your employer, such as skill development, will help prevent burnout while improving your value as an employee.

Reddit is bringing back r/Place for four days beginning on April 1 at 9 AM ET. r/Place launched on April 1, 2017, as an April Fools' Day experience. It featured a large white grid on which Reddit users could place colored pixels one at a time every five minutes. The project attracted more than one million users who put down some 16 million tiles. An image of the original r/Place artwork is available in the article.
