Plasma self-organization in centriole lumen, helical filaments with central plasmoid

in #biology6 years ago (edited)

An idea of mine from a few days ago, that the "internal helix" and "central vesicle" (Stubblefield, 1967) in centrioles is plasma self-organization, helical plasma filaments that "pinch" into a central plasmoid. It's the only explanation I can think of that explains why there would be both a helix and a central sphere-like thing, and as you can see in electron photographs for yourself, that is exactly what is there. Since the centriole is a molecular dynamo (Zhao, 2015) it makes a lot of sense. Thoughts?

This is so complicated can you explain it in easy words.

Yue Zhao had the idea in 2015 that the centriole is a molecular dynamo that generates an electromagnetic field,

and in 2012 that it provides the forces needed for mitosis,

you can see how the two copies of the DNA repel one another and gravitate towards opposite centrosomes,

Stubblefield and Brinkley, in 1967, observed that they could see structures inside the centriole. If you look at the pictures in their article, or in my post, you can see those. The structures are an "internal helix" and "central vesicle" (their words),

one idea I had is that the "internal helix" and "central vesicle" are formed from the rotation of the centriole (see Yue Zhao's idea from 2015 of the centriole as a molecular dynamo), and that the "central vesicle" is a plasmoid, like in a sci-fi movie if you have a strong electromagnetic field, you have a core that is super strong. those plasmoids seem to form as vortices of plasma compress, which matches what is seen in electron photographs of centrioles.
