but has an immense and beneficial impact on society.” On Oct. 3, the 71-year-old molecular cell biologist stood amongst a sea of reporters and colleagues at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (TITECH) and echoed these words that he often shares with his students. Ohsumi won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for nearly three decades of fundamental research in autophagy – the process by which cells recycle their own contents. On Dec. 10, Ohsumi will stand on stage in Stockholm, this time

The birth and growth of mankind are magical. During these eight weeks study, I found the huge interest in lifespan human development. This course taught me the “roots” of human beings. Until now, I realized how human was born, and I also learn a lot about human development and possible diseases in each period. Besides, I learned the research process. They are really wonderful knowledge and helpful to me! The three thing I interested is research methods, the collaborative gene, and prenatal development

called Chalamydomonas. Forest then moved to Indiana University to complete her doctoral studies, where she met Bob Togasaki, who came up with the idea of looking for mutants in Chalamydomonas that were defective in gametogenesis, the process by which cells undergo

Indicate whether each of the following statements about triglycerides is true or false. Indicate whether each of the following statements about triglycerides is true or false. 1. A triacylglycerol is composed of 3 glycerol molecules joined to a fatty acid.  2. The hydrocarbon chains of fatty acids vary in length as well as in the number and location of double bonds between the carbon atoms.  3. Fatty acids with one double bond in their hydrocarbon chain are called monounsaturated, while those with

stimulation, because of this conductive polymers can be used for the regeneration of damaged tissue. This review will focus on the synthesis and fabrication of conductive polymers as well as their applications in tissue engineering. Introduction All cells exhibit some form of electrical excitability, from voltage gated ion channels to muscle contractions and heart beats electromagnetic fields are critical to the basic functions of life. Galvani famously showed in 1794 that a frog leg will contract when

Eukaryotic Cells Eukaryotes accord to the taxon Eukarya or Eukaryota. The defining affection that sets eukaryotic beef afar from prokaryotic beef is that they accept membrane-bound organelles, abnormally the nucleus, which contains the abiogenetic material, and is amid by the nuclear envelope. The attendance of a basis gives eukaryotes their designation, which emanates from the Greek εὖ and κάρυον . Eukaryotic beef along accommodate added membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and the Golgi

of thread like structures once visible only during cell division sparked the investigation into the contents and purpose of what was later coined as chromosomes. Although much of the specifics of the chromosomal components have been teased apart, many questions still remain about higher order chromosomal

sperm and the mother's egg cell meet. This is considered the point of conception. When the sperm and egg combine, a zygote is formed. The zygote is comprised all of the genetic information (DNA) needed to become a baby. The zygote then divides to form a ball of cells called a blastocyst. A blastocyst is consists of an inner group of cells with an outer shell. The inner group of cells will become the embryo and the embryo is what will develop into a baby. The outer group of cells, called membranes, nourish

CRISPR/Cas 9 protein technology can be used to correct the dystrophin gene mutation of iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) myogenic progenitor cells. • METHODS. The study plans to use CRISPR/Cas9 technology in order to edit our genes through full exonal correction. This will result in full-length dystrophin proteins. Next, the quality of the IPSC-derived myogenic progenitor cells will be tested through treatment of the DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) phenotype. Skin
