Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell02:21

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell

14.9K
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...

Chromosome Replication02:31

Chromosome Replication

10.6K
Before a cell can divide, it must accurately replicate all of its chromosomes, including the DNA and its associated histone and non-histone proteins.  This process begins at numerous origins of replication during the S phase of the cell cycle in each of a cell’s chromosomes simultaneously. Certain nucleotides can act as origins of replication, but these sequences are not well defined - especially in complex, multi-cellular, eukaryotic species. The length of DNA that spans an origin...

Chromosome Structure02:40

Chromosome Structure

26.4K
A functional eukaryotic chromosome must contain three elements: a centromere, telomeres, and numerous origins of replication.
The centromere is a DNA sequence that links sister chromatids. This is also where kinetochores, protein complexes to which spindle microtubules attach, are constructed after the chromosome is replicated. The kinetochores allow the spindle microtubules to move the chromosomes within the cell during cell division.
Telomeres consist of non-coding repetitive nucleotide...

Formation of Species01:31

Formation of Species

45.0K
Speciation describes the formation of one or more new species from one or sometimes multiple original species. The resulting species are discrete from the parent species, and barriers to reproduction will typically exist. There are two primary mechanisms, speciation with and without geographic isolation—allopatric and sympatric speciation, respectively.

The Tree of Life - Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryotes

38.4K
The “tree of life” describes the evolution of life and the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The root of the tree is the common ancestor to all life on Earth. All other species radiate from this point, much like the branches of a tree. The numerous tips of these branches on the tree of life represent every living, or extant, species. Extinct species, which are species that no longer exist, can be found towards the center of the tree. Currently, these organisms, both...

    Area of Science:

    • Visual Arts
    • Cultural Studies

    Background:

    • Sharon Gershoni, an artist and scientist, presents two distinct art series.
    • The works explore fundamental concepts through different artistic mediums.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present and reflect on the artistic interpretations of the Hebrew alphabet's first letter, 'Alef'.
    • To examine the portrayal of female symbols and attributes within Western art and thought through photography.

    Main Methods:

    • Creation of a drawing series, 'Alef,' using Japanese sumi ink on washi paper.
    • Production of a photographic work, 'Shem (Name),' to analyze Western art and thought.

    Main Results:

    • 'Alef' offers a visual meditation on the primordial letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
    • 'Shem (Name)' critically engages with the representation of women in Western cultural contexts.

    Conclusions:

    • Gershoni's art provides a cross-disciplinary exploration of language, spirituality, and gender.
    • The exhibited works demonstrate the power of art to interrogate cultural symbols and archetypes.
