Dr. Aruna Kilaru, associate professor of biological sciences at East Tennessee State University, and her research team have been working on a new way to combat cardiovascular disease as Americans leading cause of death by studying how to produce more good, monounsaturated fats found in plant oils, often used in cooking, and how to make them more abundant for future generations by using plants that are otherwise genetically deficient.

Saturated fats, or animals fats, increase bad cholesterol, leading to clogging of arteries. Replacing that diet with monounsaturated oils will decrease the risk of heart diseases, said Dr. Kilaru. As such, among various oils, monounsaturated oils such as those in olive and avocado fruits are considered to be heart-healthy.

Saturation refers to the lack of any double bonds in the fatty acid chain while unsaturation refers to the number of double bonds present; a single double bond is referred to monounsaturated and many as polyunsaturated.

Dr. Kilaru noted humans and other mammals lack some of the enzymes necessary to add initial double bonds to fatty acids, making plant oils a critical source of healthy oils. When consumed, these can be converted into other polyunsaturated fatty acids necessary to regulate health and development.

Vegetable oil accounts for 25 percent of human dietary calories and its demand is expected to double by 2030. Increasing production of nutritionally rich oils has become a necessity, added Kilaru.

Having already identified a regulator they believe to be responsible for high amounts of oil in avocado, Dr. Kilaru said ETSU research has made quite a bit of progress in understanding this oil biosynthesis. Now, thanks in part to funds from a recent $200,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the work will continue.

We have already identified one regulator that is likely responsible for high amounts of oil in avocado, said Kilaru. This funding will support continued research on the project by one of our Ph.D. students, Jyoti Behera, for two years and also the research expenses associated with further characterization of the mechanisms by which this novel regulator functions.

Plant oils, mostly stored in plant tissues as triacylglycerols, are not only an important source for human and animal nutrition, but also play important roles in the oil industry and renewable energy sources.

Added Kilaru, There is great diversity in plants tissues with regard to how much and what kind of oil they can synthesize and store. Although biochemists understand how storage oils are made, we do not fully understand what genes are responsible for dictating the content and composition in oil in plants.

Kilaru said her interest in this area of lipid biochemistry research was formed during her postdoctoral work.

I was fascinated by the diverse amounts and types of oils various plant tissues can make. For example, oil palm fruit stores its sugars from photosynthesis in the form of about 90 percent oil in the fleshy part of the fruit while its sister plant, date palm, reserves its energy as 90 percent sugar. I found these distinct abilities of plants both puzzling and fascinating. This work initiated at Michigan State University led to my further interest in using avocado as a system to understand its ability to make high amounts of monounsaturated oleic acid.

She points not only to avocados but also olives. Both synthesize and store heart-healthy, nutritionally rich monounsaturated oils, the good fats, at approximately 60-70 percent in their fleshy fruit but with negligible amounts in their seeds. Palm oil, on the other hand, contains 80 percent saturated fat in its seeds while the fleshy fruit contains only approximately 50 percent saturated oil.

In our lab, we are using avocado as a model system to identify the key regulators of oil content and composition, said Kilaru. Once we identify these key regulators and fully understand their mechanisms, we expect to utilize them to enhance production of nutritionally rich oil in other plants, as well, for human consumption.

The end result of the research could mean a healthier global population.

UK College of Medicineresearchers will enroll more than 80 adult participants from Kentucky: some who have had COVID-19 and others who have not. Participants will be followed for up to four years to identify risk factors and occurrences of long COVID, medically known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

This study is part of the National Institutes of HealthResearching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative. The NIH awarded the $470 million RECOVER parent award to more than 100 researchers at more than 30 institutions, creating a large-scale, national study population of diverse research volunteers, that is being coordinated by the RECOVER Clinical Science Core located at New York University Langone Health.

Together, these studies are expected to provide insights over the coming months into many important questions including the incidence and prevalence of long-term effects from SARS-CoV-2 infection, the range of symptoms, underlying causes, risk factors, outcomes, and potential strategies for treatment and prevention.

UK has partnered with West Virginia University and nine other institutions to form the IDeA States Consortium for Clinical Research (ISCORE) network, which ensures that the unique needs of the rural and medically underserved communities of Kentucky will be represented in the RECOVER study.

We get to help tell the story of the impact of COVID-19 on our state and better understand how to help our citizens recover from it, said Zach Porterfield, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the UK Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics, who is co-leading the study.

Of the 45 million COVID-19 cases in the U.S., it is estimated that 10-30%are long haulers. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people commonly report prolonged symptoms including difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, tiredness or fatigue, cough, difficulty thinking or concentrating (brain-fog), chest or stomach pain, headache and cardiovascular complications including thrombosis.

This project draws multidisciplinary expertise from across the UK College of Medicine including the Departments of Microbiology, Immunology and Genetics; Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry; and Internal Medicine (Cardiology and Infectious Disease Divisions). The project is made possible by the support from UKs Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) and the Virus Induced Thrombosis Alliance (VITAL). The VITAL team, funded through the College of Medicines Research Alliance Initiative, investigates why viral infections cause an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. VITAL research early in the COVID-19 pandemic suggested the risk of thrombosis could persist after the SARS-CoV-2 infection clears.

This important study is a wonderful example of how teams of clinicians, basic scientists, and support staff at UK work together to address health care problems in the Commonwealth and the nation, said the studys co-principal investigatorSidney Whiteheart, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry.

The questions below come from three of the four MCAT sectionsbiological and biochemical foundations of living systems; chemical and physical foundations of biological systems; and psychological, social, and biological foundations of behavior. A fourth section, critical analysis and reasoning skills (commonly referred to as CARS), is based largely on inference.

Medicine can be a career that is both challenging and highly rewarding but figuring out a medical schools prerequisites and navigating the application process can be a challenge unto itself. For students preparing for the medical school, theAMA premed glossary guidehas the answers to frequently asked questions.

For those already in medical school, the AMA selected Kaplan as apreferred providerto support you in reaching your goal of passing the USMLEor COMLEX-USA.AMA members can save 30% on access to additional study resources, such as KaplansQbankand High-yield courses.

Section: Biological and biochemical foundations of living systems

Question: What role does peptidyl transferase play in protein synthesis?

A. It transports the initiator aminoacyl-tRNA complex.

B. It helps the ribosome to advance three nucleotides along the mRNA in the 5 to 3 direction.

C. It holds the proteins in its tertiary structure.

D. It catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond.

The correct answer is D.

Kaplan explains why: Peptidyl transferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between the incoming amino acid in the A site and the growing polypeptide chain in the P site. Initiation and elongation factors help transport charged tRNA molecules into the ribosome and advance the ribosome down the mRNA transcript, as in choices (A) and (B). Chaperones maintain a proteins three-dimensional shape as it is formed, as in choice (C).

Section: Chemical and physical foundations of biological systems

Question: The bodys pH is tightly regulated because specific enzymes function best within a narrow pH range. What is the approximate pH of a 1.2 105 M aqueous solution of NaOH?

A. 4.92.

B. 7.5.

C. 9.08.

D. 12.45.

The correct answer is C.

Kaplan explains why: NaOH is a strong base; as such, there will be 1.2 105 M OH in solution. Based on this information alone, the pOH must be between 4 and 5, and the pH must be between 9 and 10. Using the shortcut, pOH 5 0.12 = 4.88. pH = 14 pOH = 9.12 (actual = 9.08).

Section: Psychological, social and biological foundations of behavior

Question: A woman notices that her father has started to move his fingers in such a way that it looks like he is rolling something, despite nothing actually being there. She also notes slowed movement and a shuffling gait. Which neurotransmitter is likely to be present in decreased levels in her fathers brain?

A. Epinephrine.

B. Histamine.

C. Dopamine.

D. Serotonin.

The correct answer is C.

Kaplan explains why: The symptoms indicate that the womans father likely has Parkinsons disease. This disease is caused by decreased dopamine production in the substantia nigra

Maureen Hanson, the Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and in the College of Arts and Sciences, and Bernice Grafstein, the Vincent and Brooke Astor Distinguished Professor in Neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medicine, have beenelected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences,the academy announced April 22.

They are among 252 newly elected members 55% of whom are women honored for individual achievements inacademia, the arts, business, government and public affairs.

We are honoring the excellence of these individuals, celebrating what they have achieved so far and imagining what they will continue to accomplish, said David Oxtoby, president of the academy. The past year has been replete with evidence of how things can get worse; this is an opportunity to illuminate the importance of art, ideas, knowledge and leadership that can make a better world.

Newly elected academy members include media mogul and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey, musician Robbie Robertson (The Band), New York Times journalist Kara Swisher, and neurosurgeon and CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

Im quite honored to be invited to join this distinguished group, Hanson said, which includes not only scientists, but also many writers, composers, architects and other artists whose work I enjoy and achievements I admire.

Hanson, director of the Center for Enervating Neuroimmune Disease, has two different research programs: plant biology, focusing on the genome-containing organelles of plants, chloroplasts and mitochondria; and the pathophysiology of human myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

Recent plant biology research includes published work on a key plant enzyme, Rubisco, responsible for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the building blocks of plants.

Regarding ME/CFS, one current project is examining metabolism of immune cells and metabolites in plasma; another aims to identify differences in gene expression and cargo of extracellular vesicles at baseline and following exercise, in both healthy individuals and those diagnosed with ME/CFS.

Hanson is a member of the graduate fields of genetics, genomics and development; plant biology; and biochemistry, molecular and cell biology.

She received her doctorate in cell and developmental biology in 1976 from Harvard, then held a National Institutes of Health National Research Service Award postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard. She joined the faculty of the University of Virginia in 1979, before joining the Cornell faculty as an associate professor in 1985. She was promoted to full professor in 1991.

Hanson is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Society of Plant Biologists.

Grafstein, a renowned neuroscientist, has made pioneering discoveries about nerve cell damage and regeneration during a career that has spanned more than five decades.

Im extremely thrilled, said Grafstein, who is also a professor of physiology and biophysics. And I love the fact that this has come at a mature point in my career. I can savor it all the more now.

Grafsteins earliest work as a graduate student, on brain phenomena related to migraine aura and stroke, has survived as a classical reference for more than 50 years. Many of her subsequent studies were done on goldfish optic nerves, which show robust regeneration after injury and thus provide important insights into the potential for regeneration in the human nervous system.

Her work with neurosurgeon Dr. Irvine McQuarrie, M.D. 65, Ph.D. 77, a former assistant professor of physiology and surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine, showed that nerve regrowth after an injury was regulated by changes further back in the nerve cell than the site of injury. This finding is important for developing methods to improve recovery from injuries of human nerves and brain pathways.

Her research has also illuminated the process of axonal transport, which conveys building materials within nerve cells and is critical to their development and function.

Essentially what I discovered was that things were moving much faster than had been imagined until then, she said.

Her technique for showing that some material jumped from one nerve cell to the next at the synaptic connections was used in the 1981 Nobel Prize-winning work of David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel on the development of the visual system.

Grafstein received a bachelors degree in physiology from the University of Toronto and a Ph.D. in neurophysiology from McGill University. She went on to postgraduate work in the Department of Anatomy at University College London and a faculty position at McGill before moving to Rockefeller University. In 1969 she joined the Department of Physiology at Weill Cornell Medicine.

A 58-year-old senior technical officer at Lok Nayak Hospital, Jessy Mathews, died of Covid-related complications on Tuesday. Mathews had been working at the hospital for 10 years.

She started work at a dispensary but soon was employed at the hospitals biochemistry department.

She is survived by her husband and a daughter. Her family said her husband is unwell, and her final rites were performed by her daughter at Mangolpuri.

Her colleagues said Mathews was among the oldest staffers at the biochemistry lab but was ambitious and keen on learning new technologies.

I will always remember her as someone who loved to learn new things and never gave up. When she joined, things were different. Our lab is fully automated now, we have highly complicated biochemical analysers. We thought it would be difficult for her to adapt but she was quick. She was sincere and was kind to all her juniors, said an officer at the hospital, who did not wish to be named.

Mathews lived with her family in Delhis Mangolpuri. She had got the second Covid shot last month.

Till April 20, she was on duty at the hospital and was performing routine tests for patients coming in.

The next day, she complained of uneasiness and was tested for Covid. On April 22, her report came back and she was sent for home isolation.

Her family said she was doing well and was recovering but on Monday her oxygen saturation level dropped suddenly.

Her junior at the department said, We received a call from her family about her health. She was immediately admitted to Lok Nayak. We thought she would recover. She was healthy she only had an arthritis issue but she died on Tuesday. Her husband is also unwell. We tried and helped her daughter with the last rites.

Mathews is the third staffer from Lok Nayak who has succumbed to Covid in the last three days. Two nursing officers Elizabeth Joseph and Ravinder Kaur had died earlier this week. Both had not been vaccinated, their families and colleagues said.

Newswise TAMPA, Fla. The hallmarks of cancer include rapid cell reproduction and metabolic activity. But these processes also lead to increased cellular stress and oxidation, and the risk of cell death. To circumvent these negative consequences of supercharged growth, cancer cells stimulate pathways to reduce oxidative stress and avoid cell death. In an article published in Cell Metabolism, Moffitt Cancer Center researchers report on a newly discovered biochemical pathway that protects cells from a type of cell death called ferroptosis.

Ferroptosis is a specialized type of cell death that is caused by imbalances in oxidation within cells. Ferroptosis results in changes to molecules in the cell membrane called lipids and can be caused by cysteine starvation. Cysteine is a type of amino acid that is one of the building blocks of proteins and is also used by the body for numerous important physiological processes, including cell survival, regulation of oxidative-reduction reactions and energy transfer. Because of its critical role in normal processes, cysteine is highly regulated to prevent excess or insufficient amounts of the amino acid.

Several different types of cancer overexpress molecules that play an important role in cysteine regulation. This suggests that reducing cysteine levels may negatively affect cancer growth. In fact, studies have shown that cancer cells can be induced to undergo cell death by either inhibiting cysteine uptake or starving cells of cysteine. However, the downstream processes that are stimulated by cysteine starvation are unclear. Moffitt researchers performed a series of laboratory investigations to learn what molecules become activated after cysteine deprivation and how this impacts cells.

The researchers discovered that cancer cells can activate signaling pathways to protect themselves against cell death due to cysteine starvation. When the team starved non-small cell lung carcinoma cells of cysteine, the cells began to undergo ferroptosis. However, cysteine starvation also resulted in an unexpected accumulation of small molecules called -glutamyl-peptides, which protected the cells against ferroptosis. The researchers found that the peptides were synthesized through the activity of the protein GCLC. Under normal conditions, GCLC is involved in the first step of the synthesis of the antioxidant glutathione from the amino acids cysteine and glutamate. However, this newly discovered activity of GCLC occurred in the absence of cysteine and was important to limit both glutamate accumulation and oxidant production.

The researchers further analyzed signaling mechanisms controlling GCLC-mediated peptide synthesis and discovered that GCLC was regulated by the protein NRF2. They found that under normal conditions, NRF2 regulated GCLC to produce glutathione, but under cysteine-starved conditions, NRF2 regulated GGLC to produce -glutamyl-peptides.

NRF2 is known to play an important role in the protection against cellular oxidation and is often deregulated in lung cancer, said lead author Gina DeNicola, Ph.D., assistant member of the Cancer Physiology Department at Moffitt. The ability of NRF2 to protect against ferroptosis has important implications for cancer, particularly lung cancers that commonly have NRF2 activation via mutations in KEAP1 and NRF2.

Moffitt Researchers Discover Biochemical Pathway That Protects Cells from Ferroptosis Cell Death - Newswise

BUFFALO, N.Y A new study by University at Buffalo researchers has revealed that the absence of a single interaction within a brain receptor reduces its activity. The discovery advances the understanding of how certain brain diseases arise, and could lead to developing precision medicines for treating them.

The study was published Dec. 31 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by senior authors Gabriela K. Popescu, PhD, professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at UB, and Wenjun Zheng, PhD, UB professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences; first authors are Gary Iacobucci, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in Popescus lab, and Han Wen, a doctoral candidate in Zhengs lab.

The research builds on more than a decade of work by Popescu, who studies the brains NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors. Mutations in this protein, which is critical to learning and memory, can result in neuropsychiatric diseases, from epilepsy to schizophrenia. Such mutations are rare and have only been discovered in the past 10 years.

Popescus work focuses on how subtle changes in these key receptors cause them to produce altered electrical signals, which in turn, affect how well the brain functions.

The work describes for the first time an open form of the NMDA receptor and identifies a direct interaction between two amino acid residues. This interaction forms only in the open receptor and helps it stay open for longer, a finding that has clinical implications.

Cycling repeatedly through its open and closed forms is the main business of NMDA receptors, explained Popescu, and the amount of time that the receptors stay open or closed determines the strength and duration of the electrical signal they produce when stimulated.

Excitability levels

The electricity generated by the opening and closing of the receptors, in turn, determines a neurons level of excitability, which has direct clinical consequences. Too much excitability can mean epilepsy, seizures or neurodegeneration, whereas too little can result in schizophrenia and other cognitive disorders, she said.

Until now, the structure of an open form of the NMDA receptor was unknown. To date, the literature has reported only atomic structures for juvenile NMDA receptors, present in young mammals or young neurons, and these are believed to represent a closed form of the receptor.

In previous work, Popescu collaborated with UB co-authors Wen and Zheng to develop a model of how the predominant NMDA receptor protein in the adult brain might look.

In the current paper, the two teams built upon that work and used molecular dynamics simulation to force the closed adult receptor to open. This was accomplished with the use of supercomputing power through UB's Center for Computational Research and mathematical algorithms developed in the Zheng lab.

First clue

This simulated open structure is the first clue to how the internal organization of these receptors may change when they open, said Popescu.

When they compared the positions of atoms between the closed and open NMDA receptor structures, the researchers were able to identify several locations where two amino acid residues had moved closer together, suggesting that they were engaging in a new interaction.

When people have receptors that cannot form this interaction, their receptors and synapses are more sluggish, not as active, said Popescu. The observations in this paper are consistent with symptoms observed in patients whose receptors lack this interaction due to spontaneous mutation of one of the residues we identified here as important.

She noted that precision medicine for NMDA receptors is still in its infancy and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has only approved a few drugs that work on these receptors.

Functional studies like this will help us better understand how the various mutations affect receptor function and which therapy to try, said Popescu.

Next steps

The researchers will continue to collaborate to better understand not just open and closed NMDA receptors, but also their intermediary conformations. Large genome sequencing studies will also be crucial in identifying the spectrum of mutations in people and revealing how specific mutations lead to characteristic symptoms.

By marrying advances in structure determination with new discoveries on the clinical significance of mutations, we will be able to more easily accomplish what we did in this paper: explain how a single, subtle change in a protein changes its function, Popescu concluded. Based on this information, other experts can ask more directed questions as to what are the consequences of this protein dysfunction for cellular and brain physiology, and ultimately for human behaviors, and finally, what pharmacologic approaches can one take to restore function?

Co-authors are Beiying Liu, PhD, research scientist in the Department of Biochemistry and Matthew Helou, a UB undergraduate biochemistry major.

The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

What Porters Five Forces of Competitive Analysis Provides?

Competitive Rivalry:- The main driver is the number and capability of competitors in the market. Many competitors, offering undifferentiated products and services, will reduce market attractiveness.

Threat of Substitution:- Where close substitute products exist in a market, it increases the likelihood of customers switching to alternatives in response to price increases. This reduces both the power of suppliers and the attractiveness of the market.

Threat of New Entry:- Profitable markets attract new entrants, which erodes profitability. Unless incumbents have strong and durable barriers to entry, for example, patents, economies of scale, capital requirements or government policies, then profitability will decline to a competitive rate.

Supplier Power:- An assessment of how easy it is for suppliers to drive up prices. This is driven by the: number of suppliers of each essential input; uniqueness of their product or service; relative size and strength of the supplier; and cost of switching from one supplier to another.

Buyer Power:- An assessment of how easy it is for buyers to drive prices down. This is driven by the: number of buyers in the market; importance of each individual buyer to the organisation; and cost to the buyer of switching from one supplier to another. If a business has just a few powerful buyers, they are often able to dictate terms.

Five forces analysis helps organizations to understand the factors affecting profitability in a specific industry, and can help to inform decisions relating to: whether to enter a specific industry; whether to increase capacity in a specific industry; and developing competitive strategies.

Global Itaconic Acid Market To Witness Astonishing Growth 2027 | Itaconix Corporation, Qingdao Kehai Biochemistry Co., LTD., Zhejiang Guoguang...

Illinois State sophomore Gavin Long has always had an inner-Dr. Alan Grant.

Jurassic Park was the first movie he remembered watching as a child, andas he put itdinosaurs were always in his brain. The Steven Spielberg film uncovered his love for science.

It never really went away, Long said.

Growing up in Lincoln Woods, Long wanted to go into sciencegeology in particularbut wasnt sure how his path would look. If pursuing a college education was an option, hed have to dedicate quite a bit of time to part-time work for financial support. And that would significantly eat into the time it would take to become deeply invested in scientific study.

Illinois State University has an answer for students like Long.

In 2018as part of a working partnership with Heartland Community College and Illinois Wesleyan University, the four-year NexSTEM scholarship became available to students who were Pell Grant eligible. That allowed them to pursue community-based research opportunities in science and mathematics with much of the financial burden lifted.

The National Science Foundation awarded a $4.6 million grant to the three-school consortium on a five-year timeline. Nearly $2.8 million went to scholarships, and the other $1.8 million involved research projects for students who may not have the means to find such opportunities within the field.

If you look at the STEM population across the U.S., they are not people who come from a low socio-economic background, said Dr. Sheri Glowinski, director of the NexSTEM program since 2019. There is still a lot of work to do, and the original team wanted to make STEM accessible to people regardless of what their backgrounds are.

There are currently 39 students18 from Illinois Statewho are NexSTEM scholars. Recipients get up to $10,000 per year to help cover the costs of higher education. The program is intended to diversify and grow the pool of STEM professionals.

Its helped me greatly, said freshman Amy Le, a biochemistry major from Peoria. Her research project explores the effects of antibiotics on UV radiation. It covers most of my college tuition, which is why I decided to go to Illinois State, and it made the process of going to college a lot easier because I dont have to also worry about my financial situation.

Student applicants must complete a trio of essays explaining their interests in the field, a STEM project they found particularly challenging and their growth from that, and a little bit about themselves. The selection committee is especially interested in students overcoming obstacles. Glowinski said that answer is a strong indicator of problem-solving skills and determination, two vital components in the STEM field.

I want this to state something. This is going to last longer than my four years.

Recipients are then paired with faculty mentors and sometimes other peers to conduct research opportunities that are based on benefiting the community while advancing scientific knowledge. The opportunity also gives students a significant leg up to be able complete research so early on in their college careers. Glowinski said very few schools in the U.S. provide that to incoming students in an authentic way.

Long has been working with Dr. David Malone to try and find rare elements in car batteries. He noted how important it is to find domestic sources since more than 90 percent of those elements are imported from China.

Its just a great opportunity to get something under my belt, Long said. Any experience is good experience and learning things about geology, maybe Ill find something I prefer to do and potentially help more people.

NexSTEM scholars take great pride in being the first recipients of the program. They not only work to advance their own interests and careers, but also to pay it forward for others who faced the same challenges.

Sophomore actuarial sciences major Tyler Deters and Othniel Carr have been looking into trends of the annuity market. Just seeing the math behind business is kind of cool, and Im appreciative of that aspect of that project, Deters explained. Aside from his own project, Deters and a few of his peers have set up tutoring sessions for fellow student mathematicians.

He knows he will forever have NexSTEM scholar attached to his name. He aspires to continue pushing boundaries by not only making the most of his opportunity, but to inspire students behind him.

I want this to state something, said Deters, who is from Teutopolis. This is going to last longer than my four years.

The NexSTEM committee will ask for an extension of the grant, and Glowinski expects to have 10 more students per school in the upcoming year. COVID-19 has challenged some of the recruiting efforts, but she hopes the program can continue to provide more and more Central Illinois students an opportunity to chase their own visionswhether they are inspired by fictitious dinosaur excursions or something else.

Shes seen remarkable work from the recipients so far and looks forward to watching them grow.

It is incredibly inspiring to see them embrace this, she said. They are embracing all of the course work they are taking and other extra-curriculars. They are doing all of this and still learning in the process. To me, thats amazing.

Building the future: NexSTEM program aims to diversify math, science, and technology fields - Illinois State University News

Newswise DALLAS Jan. 13, 2020 Benjamin Tu, Ph.D., a professor of biochemistry at UT Southwestern whose basic science research into cellular function could lead to greater understanding of diseases including cancer, has been named a recipient of the 2021 Edith and Peter ODonnell Award in Science, presented by The Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science of Texas (TAMEST).

TAMEST presents the annual awards to recognize the achievements of early career Texas investigators in the fields of science, medicine, engineering, and technology innovation. This years awards were announced today during the final day of its annual conference, which was held virtually. The awards come with a $25,000 honorarium and an invitation to make a presentation before TAMEST members. Tu will make his virtual presentation Feb. 24.

Tu is the 15th scientist at UT Southwestern to receive the award since TAMEST initiated the ODonnell Awards in 2006.

Its an honor to be selected, Tu says of the prize. It was certainly welcome news during very challenging times.

The Edith and Peter ODonnell Awards are given to scientists for their contributions addressing the essential role that science and technology play in society, and whose work meets the highest standards of exemplary professional performance, creativity and resourcefulness, according to TAMEST.

We believe Dr. Tus research will lead to future therapeutic advancements for diseases, saysDavid E. Daniel, Ph.D. (NAE), 2021TAMESTboard president.As a pioneer in his field, we are honored to recognize him as the recipient of our 2021 ODonnell Award in Science and are grateful for the discoveries he is making here in Texas that will impact the rest of the world.

Margaret Phillips, Ph.D., professor and chair of biochemistry, nominated Tu for the award. Ben is an incredibly talented scientist, Phillips says. You could almost see him as a detective. He digs into the nuts and bolts of how cells are functioning and regulating themselves.

Tus research focuses on how metabolism regulates cellular functions. Two of his recent areas of investigation have obvious potential for future advances in clinical treatment.

In two 2019 studies, both published inCell, Tu reported that ataxin-2, a protein with a known link to ALS, or Lou Gehrigs disease, is necessary for cells to do the work of clearing out damaged or unneeded parts in a process known as autophagy. Without the protein, cells are more likely to die, he said

In a2011 study published in Molecular Cell, Tu described how the metabolite acetyl-CoA plays a key role in turning on the genes necessary for cell growth.

At the time, few scientists accepted the idea that a metabolite could have such an important role in regulating gene expression, says Tu. Historically, the field had thought that transcription factors (proteins involved in transcribing the genetic information contained in DNA) dictate what genes are turned on.

This new understanding of the importance of acetyl-CoA led to further research by Tu and a 2014Cellpaper that reported how the metabolite might be important for the survival and growth of liver cancer cells. His current research in mice will investigate if chemicals that inhibit acetyl-CoA might slow the growth of pancreatic cancer cells.

Tu came to UT Southwestern in 2004 after receiving masters and bachelors degrees in chemistry from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in biochemistry and biophysics from the University of California, San Francisco. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow under Steven McKnight, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry, before joining the UTSW faculty as an assistant professor of biochemistry in 2007. Tu holds the Martha Steiner Professorship in Medical Research, and is a W.W. Caruth, Jr. Scholar in Biomedical Research.

His previous honors include the Norman Hackerman Award in Chemical Research from The Welch Foundation in 2014 and recognition as a three-time finalist for the prestigious Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists in 2017, 2018, and 2019. He is also a UT Southwestern Presidential Scholar.

TAMEST, founded in 2004 by then-U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and two Texas Nobel Laureates Michael Brown, M.D., of UT Southwestern, and Richard E. Smalley, Ph.D., of Rice University strives to bring together the states brightest minds. Members include the Texas-based members of the National Academies of Medicine, Engineering, and Sciences; the Royal Society; and Texas 11 Nobel Laureates.

Biochemistry Analyzers Market Research Report 2020: Market Competition Trend and Price by Manufacturers till 2026 - NeighborWebSJ

Environmental pressure poses a major challenge to the agricultural sector, which requires the development of cultivation techniques that can effectively reduce the impact of abiotic stress affecting crop yield and quality (e.g., thermal stress, wind, and hail) and of biotic factors, such as insect pests.

The increased consumer interest in premium-quality vegetables requires the implementation of sustainable integrated pest management (IPM) strategies towards an ever-increasing insect pressure, also boosted by cultivation under protected structures. In this respect, insect nets represent an excellent, eco-friendly solution. This review aims to provide an integrative investigation of the effects of the insect screens in agriculture. Attention is dedicated to the impact on growth, yield, and quality of vegetables, focusing on the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of response to heat stress induced by insect screens.

The performance of insect nets depends on many factorsforemost, on the screen mesh, with finer mesh being more effective as a barrier. However, finer mesh nets impose high-pressure drops and restrict airflow by reducing ventilation, which can result in a detrimental effect on crop growth and yield due to high temperatures. The predicted outcomes are wide ranging, because heat stress can impact (i) plant morpho-physiological attributes; (ii) biochemical and molecular properties through changes in the primary and secondary metabolisms; (iii) enzymatic activity, chloroplast proteins, and photosynthetic and respiratory processes; (iv) flowering and fruit settings; (v) the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs); and (vi) the biosynthesis of secondary biomolecules endowed with antioxidant capacity.

Bench-top Veterinary Biochemistry Analyzers Market Size By Analysis, Key Vendors, Regions, Type and Application, and Forecasts to 2027 - Jumbo News

It is controversial whether viruses are alive, but they do evolve like all living things. This fact has become abundantly clear during the pandemic, as new variants of concern have emerged every few months.

Some of these variants have been better at spreading from person to person, eventually becoming dominant as they out-compete slower versions of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. This improved spreading ability has been ascribed to mutations in the spike protein the mushroom-shaped projections on the surface of the virus that allow it to bind more strongly to ACE2 receptors.

ACE2 are receptors on the surface of our cells, such as those that line our airways, that the virus attaches to in order to gain entry and start replicating. These mutations allowed the alpha variant, and then the delta variant, to become globally dominant. And scientists expect the same thing to happen with omicron.

The virus cannot, however, improve indefinitely. The laws of biochemistry mean that the virus will eventually evolve a spike protein that binds to ACE2 as strongly as possible. By that point, the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to spread between people will not be limited by how well the virus can stick to the outside of cells. Other factors will limit virus spread, such as how fast the genome can replicate, how quickly the virus can enter the cell via the protein TMPRSS2, and how much virus an infected human can shed. In principle, all of these should eventually evolve to peak performance.

Has omicron reached this peak? There is no good reason to assume that it has. So-called gain-of-function studies, which look at what mutations SARS-CoV-2 needs to spread more efficiently, have identified plenty of mutations that improve the spike proteins ability to bind to human cells that omicron does not have. Besides this, improvements could be made to other aspects of the virus life cycle, such as genome replication, as I mentioned above.

But assume for a second that omicron is the variant with maximized spreading ability. Perhaps omicron will not get any better because it is limited by genetic probability. In the same way that zebras have not evolved eyes at the back of their heads to avoid predators, it is plausible that SARS-CoV-2 cannot pick up the mutations required to reach a theoretical maximum as those mutations need to occur all at once, and that is just too unlikely to emerge. Even in a scenario where omicron is the best variant at spreading between humans, new variants will emerge to handle the human immune system.

After infection with any virus, the immune system adapts by making antibodies that stick to the virus to neutralize it, and killer T-cells that destroy infected cells. Antibodies are pieces of protein that stick to the specific molecular shape of the virus, and killer T-cells recognize infected cells via molecular shape as well. SARS-CoV-2 can therefore evade the immune system by mutating sufficiently that its molecular shape changes beyond the immune systems recognition.

This is why omicron is so apparently successful at infecting people with previous immunity, either from vaccines or infections with other variants the mutations that allow the spike to bind to ACE2 more strongly also reduce the ability of antibodies to bind to the virus and neutralize it. Pfizers data suggests that T-cells should respond similarly to omicron as to previous variants, which aligns with the observation that omicron has a lower fatality rate in South Africa, where most people have immunity.

Importantly for humanity, past exposure still seems to protect against severe disease and death, leaving us with a compromise where the virus can replicate and reinfect, but we do not get as severely sick as the first time.

Probable future

Herein lies the most probable future for this virus. Even if it behaves like a professional gamer and eventually maxes out all its stats, there is no reason to think that it will not be controlled and cleared by the immune system. The mutations that improve its spreading ability do not greatly increase deaths. This maxed-out virus would then simply mutate randomly, changing enough over time to become unrecognizable to the immune systems adapted defenses, allowing waves of reinfection.

We might have COVID season each winter in the same way we have flu season now. Influenza viruses can also have a similar pattern of mutation over time, known as antigenic drift, leading to reinfections. Each years new flu viruses are not necessarily better than last years, just sufficiently different. Perhaps the best evidence for this eventuality for SARS-CoV-2 is that 229E, a coronavirus that causes the common cold, does this already.

Omicron will therefore not be the final variant, but it may be the final variant of concern. If we are lucky, and the course of this pandemic is hard to predict, SARS-CoV-2 will probably become an endemic virus that slowly mutates over time.

The disease might very likely be mild as some past exposure creates immunity that reduces the likelihood of hospitalization and death. Most people will get infected the first time as a child, which could occur before or after a vaccine, and subsequent reinfections will barely be noticed. Only a small group of scientists will track SARS-CoV-2s genetic changes over time, and the variants of concern will become a thing of the past at least until the next virus jumps the species barrier.

Beyond Omicron: The laws of biochemistry mean that COVID-19 variants cannot improve indefinitely - Milwaukee Independent

Earlier this year Douglas J. Kennett, a UC Santa Barbara professor of anthropology, demonstrated that maize, or corn, became a staple crop in the Americas 4,700 years ago. It turns out he was just beginning to tell the story of the worlds biggest grain crop.

In a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Kennett and his co-authors report that by analyzing the genomes of ancient maize they are able to fill in some of the gaps in the 9,000-year-old history of corn, which was first partially domesticated in southwestern Mexico and spread through Central and South America fairly rapidly.

The researchers sequenced the whole genomes of three roughly 2,000-year-old cobs from El Gigante rock shelter in Honduras. Analysis of the genomes yielded a surprise: the millennia-old varieties of Central American maize were more related to ancient and modern corn varieties that were improved in South America, uncovering flows of grains between the regions.

I was most surprised that improved maize varieties developed by Indigenous South Americans were reintroduced northward into Central America, co-lead author Kennett said. We could only know this through whole genome sequencing.

The genetic sleuthing revealed that the arrival of corn from South America may have played a role in the development of more productive varieties and greater consumption in Central America starting about 4,700 years ago.

We show that humans were carrying maize from South America back towards the domestication center in Mexico, said Logan Kistler, curator of archaeogenomics and archaeobotany at the Smithsonians National Museum of Natural History and co-lead author. This would have provided an infusion of genetic diversity that may have added resilience or increased productivity. It also underscores that the process of domestication and crop improvement doesnt just travel in a straight line.

First partially domesticated from teosinte, a wild grass, maize has only reluctantly given up the secrets of its long development. Genetic research, Kennett said, has been challenging because a scarcity of suitable cobs in an environment not kind to organic material. Researchers, however, caught a break in Honduras.

Well-preserved maize is extremely rare in the Americas, but the El Gigante rock shelter has over 10,000 specimens to work with, he said. Most of these fragmentary remains date later than 2,500 years ago, and locating earlier material in the assemblage was challenging and required directly radiocarbon dating large numbers of maize cobs.

Using this approach, Kennett continued, we did identify about 20 early cobs dating to between 4,300-4,000 years ago and we attempted to extract ancient DNA from all of these along with a set of cobs dating to between 2,300 and 1,900 years old. Using the best available techniques we were able to extract working genomes from only three cobs and all of these dated to between 2,300 and 1,900 years ago. This is the frustrating reality of ancient DNA work.

While difficult, the research on maize has entered into a new era of discovery, Kennett said, because whole genome sequencing is revolutionizing our understanding of the past.

We can now know much more about the biochemical processes involved in the domestication process and the sequence of domestication alleles that became fixed during the domestication syndrome, he said. It is also allowing us to track the spread of maize in much greater detail and how these changes altered the path of human history.

Looking ahead, Kennett said that while researchers now know that improved varieties of maize spread from South America into parts of Central America, they dont know when, precisely, it happened. Based on cob morphology, however, theyve hypothesized it occurred by 4,300 years ago.

Testing this hypothesis will require recovering earlier samples with well-preserved genetic material, he said. We also dont know how far north these new varieties spread. This will require whole genome work on cobs of equivalent age farther north (e.g., Mexico). We also dont know if people migrated north carry these newly improved varieties or if seeds simply passed through preexisting exchange networks. This will require working collaboratively with Indigenous populations in Central America to sequence ancient genomes to determine if the appearance of new varieties parallels the appearance of new populations.

Working on the project from UCSB are Amber VanDerwarker, a professor of anthropology, and Richard George, a postdoctoral scholar in the anthropology department. Also on the project are Alejandra Domic, Kenneth Hirth and Thomas Harper from Penn State University, Heather Thakar from Texas A&M University, Robin Allaby from the University of Warwick, and Andres Bergstrm from the Francis Crick Institute.
