Sustainable Development

14.6K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Short-distance Transport of Resources02:12

Short-distance Transport of Resources

17.3K
Short-distance transport refers to transport that occurs over a distance of just 2-3 cells, crossing the plasma membrane in the process. Small uncharged molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water, can diffuse across the plasma membrane on their own. In contrast, ions and larger molecules require the assistance of transport proteins due to their charge or size. Transport across membranes also occurs within individual cells, playing a variety of essential roles for the plant as a whole.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

5.2K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different cell types. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are terminally differentiated; however, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they dedifferentiate and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

27.1K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different types of cells. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are post-mitotic—that is, they no longer divide. However, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they “de-differentiate” and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are also pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are therefore...

In-situ Hybridization02:31

In-situ Hybridization

10.3K
In situ hybridization (ISH) is a technique used to detect and localize specific DNA or RNA molecules in cells, tissue, or tissue sections using a labeled probe. The technique was first used in 1969 for the investigation of nucleic acids. It is currently an essential tool in scientific research and clinical settings, especially for diagnostic purposes.
Types of probes and labels
A probe is a complementary strand of DNA or RNA that binds to corresponding nucleotide sequences in a cell. Many...

Direct Motor Pathways01:11

Direct Motor Pathways

3.9K
The direct motor pathways, also known as the pyramidal tracts, are a group of neural pathways that originate in the brain and descend through the spinal cord. They control the voluntary movement of the body. There are two major direct motor pathways: the corticospinal and the corticobulbar tracts.
The corticospinal tract is responsible for the voluntary movement of the limbs and trunk. It originates in the cerebral cortex of the brain and descends through the cerebrum's internal capsule and...

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Urban Ecology
    • Industrial Ecology

    Background:

    • Urbanization concentrates human population and socioeconomic activity.
    • Understanding environmental consequences of urban growth is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze direct material flows in Singapore over 41 years.
    • To assess the environmental impact of rapid, export-driven industrialization.

    Main Methods:

    • Compiled a 41-year annual time series of direct material flows.
    • Analyzed data for Singapore, a case of fast industrialization.

    Main Results:

    • Singapore's economic growth (20x) correlated with domestic material consumption (DMC) expansion.
    • DMC increased from under 4 to over 50 tonnes per capita (1962-2000).
    • No significant improvement in material productivity observed despite economic shifts.

    Conclusions:

    • Economic growth in rapidly industrializing cities is tightly coupled with material consumption.
    • Urbanization and industrialization drive significant increases in resource use.
    • Policies are needed to decouple economic growth from material consumption.
