Earth Day Beach Clean
Orginized by Yomitan Beach Clean Network https://www.facebook.com/YomitanBeach/
Earth Day and Easter in the same week? We can’t think of a better time to bring the community together by cleaning the beach! This month we will be cleaning one of our important nesting beaches, Malibu Beach at 10am. It’s officially sea turtle nesting season and we are expecting our first nest any day now! Earth is their home too so let’s do our best to keep it clean. We hope to see you there! Thank you to our sponsor, Glamday Style Hotel

"Exploring Intracellular Symbiosis Through Cockroach Bacteriocytes: Histology, Vertical Transmission, and Single-cell Transcriptomics" by Mr. Tomohito Noda from Tokyo University

Abstract: Intracellular symbiosis, in which a host organism harbors a microbial symbiont within its cells, has been widely observed across diverse lineages. This phenomenon is intriguing not only within the context of individual symbiotic relationships, but also more broadly, as the origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to trace back to microorganisms that were incorporated into host cells. Therefore, the study of intracellular symbiosis may provide insights to the understanding of a crucial trigger for the acquisition of novel biological functions and evolutionary modifications. Despite the wide interest in intracellular symbiosis, the mechanisms and adaptations required to harbor microbial symbionts remain largely elusive. One contributing factor is that the majority of symbiotic organs are highly specialized and distinct from the rest of the body, and thus lack a clear “non-symbiotic” subject to compare with.
