Isn't mitochondria the hot new topic du jour (last couple of years) for bio? Is this kind of peak hype cycle?

Science follows the exact same cycle as tech ... I feel like the microbiome was huge and going to solve all our problems 8 years ago.

I don't want to sound jaded but history repeats itself in echoes - and these cycles seem somewhat predictable if the specific technology isn't predictable.
