#Follicular #lymphoma and many other #cancers are the result of what is called #chromosomal #translocation. In follicular lymphoma, #chromosome14 swaps some #DNA with #chromosome18. This creates some problems, which I do not have the expertise to explain yet. But I will post more as I learn and understand.

βHuman #follicular #mites: #ectoparasites becoming #symbiontsβ (Smith et al. 2022)
Do you think about the mites that live in your #face #follicles and come out at #night while you #sleep? Maybe you should!
𧬠Theyβve #evolved a tiny #genome.
πͺπ» Each leg segment is powered by only one #muscle cell.
π΄ They follow your sleep cycles by responding to your #melatonin.
𧫠Lowest number of cells of any #arthropod.
If you find this intriguingly #weird, this paper is for you! π€―
