Hello Fede,
I studied biochemistry in. College in the late 90,s. Mitochondria were and still are my interest . You mention rewiring metabolism...How would you go about this trick? I would greatly be interested in your thoughts. A symbiotic relationship between these bacterial meto bolic engineers and our somatic cells is possibly the most remarkable thing Ive ever heard.
