Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles found in eukaryotic cells that generate most of a cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. The inner mitochondrial membrane is highly folded into cristae which contain the enzymes and transport chains that generate ATP from nutrients, while the outer membrane encloses the entire organelle and is more permeable. Mitochondria contain their own DNA and can replicate independently of the cell, playing a key role in cellular energy production.
Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular), known as the power house of the cell that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Mitochondria generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), by a process called
“oxidative phosphorylation”.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
2. Introduction
• Mitochondria were first seen by kollicker in 1850 in
muscles and called them ‘sarcosomes’
• Flemming (1882) described these organelles as ‘fili
a’
• Altmann (1890) observed these structures and nam
ed them ‘bioblasts’.
• Benda (1898)stained these organelles with crystal v
iolet and renamed them ‘mitochondria’
• Michaelis (1900) used janus green B as a vital stain
to observe mitochondria in living cells.
3. Morphology
• The shape of mitochondria is highly variable rang
es from short rod shape to elongate filamentous fo
rm .
• The size of mitochondria is variable ,they generall
y measures about 0.5 to 2um in diameter.
• Mitochondria have an average length of 3 to 4um.
• The number of mitochondria varies from one cell t
ype to another.
• Mitochondria are not found in prokaryotes.
5. Ultra Structure
• A mitochondria is enclosed by a double membrane en
velope composed of lipid and protein.
• The two membranes are separated by a narrow fluid –
filled space called the outer compartment.
• The outer membrane is smooth, it is more permeable
to small molecules, contains some enzymes but is poo
rer in proteins.
• The inner membrane surrounds a central cavity or m
atrix (inner compartment) filled with a fluid.
• Folds of inner wall of mitochondria are called cristae.
6. Inner Membrane
• Inner membrane is the site of the e- transport
chain, across which the proton pump occurs
and contains ATP synthase.
• Inner membrane is highly folded – called crist
ae – increasing the surface area on which the
above reactions can take place
7. The inner mitochondrial membrane is compartmentalized into numero
us cristae, which expand the surface area of the inner mitochondrial m
embrane, enhancing its ability to generate ATP. In typical liver mitocho
ndria, for example, the surface area, including cristae, is about five tim
es that of the outer membrane. Mitochondria of cells which have greate
r demand for ATP, such as muscle cells, contain more cristae than typi
cal liver mitochondria.
Mitochondrial Inner Membrane
8. Mitochondrial Outer Membrane
The outer mitochondrial membrane, which encloses the entire or
ganelle, has a protein-to-phospholipid ratio similar to the eukary
otic plasma membrane (about 1:1 by weight). It contains numero
us integral proteins called porins, which contain a relatively large
internal channel (about 2-3 nm) that is permeable to all molecule
s of 5000 daltons or less. Larger molecules, for example most pro
teins, can only traverse the outer membrane by active transport.
9. Mitochondria

pace
o Intermembrane space –

•Inner membrane
11. Chemical Composition
• Mitochondria consists of protein-70 percent & lip
ids -25 -30percent.
• Mitochondria contain 0.5percent of RNA & traces
of DNA .
• Mitochondrial DNA comprises about 1 percent of
total cell DNA
• Mitochondria contain enzymes for oxidation phos
phorylation & electron transfer.
12. Mitochondria
• Produce most of a cells ATP – acetyl groups in the Kreb’s c
ycle producing CO2 and NADH.
• NADH donates the e- to the electron transport chain and b
ecomes oxidized to NAD+
• e- transfer promotes proton pump and ATP synthesis in pr
ocess called oxidative phosphorylation
• Cells that require large amounts of energy such as the hea
rt have large numbers of mitochondria
13. Mitochondria
• Contain their own copies of DNA and RNA along
with transcription and translation system (riboso
mes)
• Are able to regenerate themselves without the wh
ole cell undergoing division
• Shape and size dependent on what the cell’s func
tion is
