The Garden The Mitochondria Song by David Ng of UBC Vancouver Ca.
It’s
the Mitochondria, stupid!
-Albert
Thompson III
Dr. Otto
H. Warburg theory awarded the Nobel Prize 1931
In contrast to
healthy cells, which generate energy by the oxidative breakdown of a simple
acid within the mitochondria, tumors and cancer cells generate energy through
the non-oxidative breakdown of glucose, a process called glycolysis (sugar
splitting). Indeed, glycolysis is the biochemical hallmark of most, if not all,
types of cancers. Because of this difference between healthy cells and cancer
cells, Otto Warburg argued, cancer should be interpreted as a type of
mitochondrial disease. (Boston College press office)

Our
greatest challenge we face, is our ability to …
Communicate
effectively, efficiently and productively
with each other and our customers (internal and
external).
We have
the technology … what we need is connectology!
"Scientific revolutions may be
sensed in advance by scholars
with an exceptional intuition but the
site where such revolutions
take place is frequently a complete
surprise."
