Yeast Signaling01:28

Yeast Signaling

17.2K
Yeasts are single-celled organisms, but unlike bacteria, they are eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus). Cell signaling in yeast is similar to signaling in other eukaryotic cells. A ligand, such as a protein or a small molecule released from a yeast cell, attaches to a receptor on the cell surface. The binding stimulates second-messenger kinases to activate or inactivate transcription factors that further regulate gene expression. Many of the yeast intracellular signaling cascades have similar...

Phagocytosis00:41

Phagocytosis

92.7K
Cells pull particles inward and engulf them in spherical vesicles in an energy-requiring process called endocytosis. Phagocytosis (“cellular eating”) is one of three major types of endocytosis. Cells use phagocytosis to take in large objects—such as other cells (or their debris), bacteria, and even viruses.

C4 Pathway and CAM01:27

C4 Pathway and CAM

48.9K
Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.
C4 Pathway
The C4 pathway is used by plants such as...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

55.5K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

2.9K
Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Art and Science Communication

Background:

  • Autophagy is a fundamental cellular process involving the degradation of cellular components.
  • Artistic representations can enhance public understanding of complex biological mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To visually and conceptually explore the cellular process of autophagy through artistic mediums.
  • To focus on the role of the vacuole/lysosome within the context of autophagy.
  • To document a collaborative project between a scientist and artists.

Main Methods:

  • A nine-year artistic exploration of autophagy using various media including painting, music, sculpture, and dance.
  • A two-part project focusing on the vacuole/lysosome: 1) assembly of found-art, 2) collaboration with a watercolor artist.
  • Documentation of the artistic process and the final artworks.

Main Results:

  • A diverse collection of artworks (paintings, music, sculpture, quilt, dance) illustrating aspects of autophagy.
  • A found-art representation of the vacuole/lysosome.
  • A watercolor series depicting the vacuole/lysosome from a non-scientist's perspective.

Conclusions:

  • Art provides a powerful and accessible medium for communicating complex biological processes like autophagy.
  • Collaborations between scientists and artists can yield novel insights and broader engagement with cellular biology.
  • The vacuole/lysosome can be effectively represented through both scientific and artistic interpretations.
