Encoding01:19

Encoding

837
Information enters the brain through encoding, which is the input of information into the memory system. Once sensory information is received from the environment, the brain labels or codes it. The information is then organized with similar information and connected to existing concepts. Encoding occurs through automatic processing and effortful processing.
Automatic processing involves the encoding of details like time, space, frequency, and the meaning of words, usually done without conscious...

What is Conservation Biology?

24.3K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

17.8K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Synthetic Biology

5.6K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia

575
Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, arises from a complex interplay of biological factors, including genetic predisposition, structural brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and developmental irregularities. These factors collectively contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder, which typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Genetic Factors in Schizophrenia
The genetic basis of schizophrenia is strongly supported by family and twin...

Area of Science:

  • Soft Matter Physics
  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Self-assembling dendrimers and block copolymers form periodic and quasiperiodic arrays.
  • These architectures exhibit diverse functions and have been observed in various complex molecules.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of sequence-defined bicomponent monodisperse oligomers.
  • Generation of vesicles (glycodendrimersomes) from these oligomers.
  • Characterization of the hierarchical morphologies and sugar-protein interactions.

Main Results:

  • Discovery of lamellar and hexagonal periodic arrays on glycodendrimersomes.
  • Glycodendrimersomes mimic cell membranes and bicomponent rafts with hierarchical morphologies.
  • Nanosegregated morphologies enhance binding to sugar-binding proteins compared to densely packed sugars.
  • Demonstration of a mechanism to encode sugar reactivity via protein interactions.
