Living cells are the master optimizers of resources they have. Here is an example of mistakes in protein translation possibly helping cells detect stressful conditions and bolster its protective mechanisms. @SomdattaKarak writes on work by @jotingogoi in @DrSankarCCMB's lab.

Isoflurane and urethane are commonly used anaesthetics to immobilize rodents in functional studies including those looking at brain cells. But what if the anaesthetics impact these cells? That's what Anant Patel's team found out. doi.org/10.1111/bph.70… @CSIR_IND
