This strange “pearling” motion inside cells could change how we understand disease
Mitochondria don’t just generate energy—they also carefully organize their own DNA in a surprisingly elegant way. Scientists have discovered that a long-overlooked phenomenon called “mitochondrial pearling,” where mitochondria briefly form bead-like shapes, helps evenly space clusters of mitochondrial DNA.
