Description:

Why do we really need vitamins?Aadhishre Kasat, Biological Science, Summer 2020 Figure 1: This figure illustrates the interaction between an enzyme, a substrate and a cofactor. The enzyme is glucosidase which catalyzes the breakdown of its substrate maltose to glucose. This reaction is facilitated by the cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). This cofactor is derived... Dream a Little DreamMaddie Brown, Biological Sciences, Spring 2020 Figure 1: The red box encloses an EEG reading of the brain during REM sleep. EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sleep_EEG_Stage_1.jpg When car drives by in the middle of the night as you’re peacefully sleeping, why doesn’t the sound of a... Uncovering (Ant)imicrobial Agents in InsectsTimmy Davenport, Microbiology, Spring 2022 Figure 1: Insect microbiomes offer a promising source for the discovery of antimicrobial compounds. Depicted is a leaf-cutter ant coated in a white sheen made up of bacteria of the genus Pseudonocardia.1 The bacteria protect the fungus consumed by the ants from parasitic invasion, and... Lack of Sleep for Teenagers Increases Risk of Developing Mood DeficitsAnahita Kodali, ’23, Medical Sciences, News, Spring 2020 Figure 1: Sleep deprivation has several impacts; some of the most common are shown in this image. Image Source: Wikimedia Commons Lack of sleep has been shown to have many negative effects on the body. Not sleeping the recommended eight hours per... New Insights for Coronavirus Treatment with Finding of New Dendritic Cell TypeAnahita Kodali, Medical Sciences, News, Spring 2020 Figure 1: Dendritic cells (pictured here in green) have a unique shape that is critical to their function. They are very large compared to normal cells. In addition, they have a branched shape. Their size and shape allow them to help the innate... Two Studies Find Concerning Spread of Plastics into the AntarcticAnahita Kodali, Life Sciences, News, Spring 2020 Figure 1: The debate about single-use plastic straws has been a particularly popular and passionate debate all over social media, prompting major retailers – like Starbucks – to shift from use of plastic straws to more ecofriendly lids. Image Source: Wikimedia Commons The... Childhood Trauma Leads to Increased Risk of Heart Disease in EldersAnahita Kodali, Medical Sciences, News, Spring 2020 Figure 1: Heart attacks are caused by a blockage in the arteries that bring blood to the heart (called the coronary arteries). Blockages are created by a buildup of plaque, which can be created when a person engages in risky behaviors like overeating... New ER Protocol Encourages use of Blood Tests for Heart Attack DiagnosisAnahita Kodali, Medical Sciences, News, Spring 2020 Figure 1: Heart attacks are caused because blood cannot get to the heart. As shown in this image, plaque (the yellowish-orange substance) develops in the arteries and clogs them. If this plaque ruptures, blood clots; this means it cannot travel to the heart... Rising CO2 Levels Cause Loss in Marine Life DiversityAnahita Kodali, Life Sciences, News, Spring 2020 Figure 1: Coral reefs are an incredibly important component of ocean habitats. Not only do they provide a safe home for several species of marine life, but they also protect coastlines from damage, are a vital source of essential nutrients for oceanic food... Children Suffer From Higher Rates of Mental Illness if They Have Chronic Illness, New Study FindsAnahita Kodali, Medical Sciences, News, Spring 2020 Figure 1: Asthma is a common chronic condition in which airways get inflamed and produce extra mucus, making it difficult to breathe and cause chest pain and coughing. Symptoms range from mild to severe; in mild cases, people can live their daily lives...
