A recent study reports the discovery of lariocidin, a novel antibiotic from soil samples in a lab technician's garden, effective against various bacterial pathogens, including resistant strains. Additionally, researchers have created a detailed new map outlining the distribution of mitochondria in the human brain, revealing distinct differences between grey and white matter. This advancement in understanding mitochondrial density is critical as it relates to the energy efficiency of brain functions and overall cellular health.
The discovery of lariocidin from a lab technician's garden highlights the potential for finding new antibiotics in unusual places, which could help combat multidrug-resistant bacteria.
Mapping the distribution of mitochondria in the human brain reveals significant differences between brain regions, with grey matter showing greater density than white matter, affecting energy production.
