Receptor-mediated Endocytosis01:20

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis

6.1K
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is when bulk amounts of specific molecules are imported into a cell after binding to cell surface receptors. The molecules bound to these receptors are taken into the cell through inward folding of the cell surface membrane, which is eventually pinched off into a vesicle within the cell. Structural proteins, such as clathrin, coat the budding vesicle.

One well-characterized example of receptor-mediated endocytosis is the...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.0K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

GPCRs Regulate Adenylyl Cylase Activity01:09

GPCRs Regulate Adenylyl Cylase Activity

5.6K
Some GPCRs transmit signals through adenylyl cyclase (AC), a transmembrane enzyme. AC helps synthesize second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). AC catalyzes cyclization reaction and converts ATP to cAMP by releasing a pyrophosphate. The pyrophosphate is further hydrolyzed to phosphate by the enzyme pyrophosphatase, which drives cAMP synthesis to completion. However, cAMP is rapidly degraded to 5′ AMP by the enzymes phosphodiesterase (PDE), preventing overstimulation of...

Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria01:10

Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria

2.8K
Intracellular bacteria and viruses often comprise a group of highly infectious pathogens that can cause several diseases. Bacterial pathogens include those belonging to the genus Rickettsia responsible for conditions such as rocky mountain spotted fever and the Mediterranean spotted fever; Chlamydia, a genus responsible for a sexually transmitted disease; Coxiella burnetii, an agent responsible for Q fever. Viral pathogens include vaccinia—a poxvirus, and herpes simplex virus—a...

Area of Science:

  • New Media Studies
  • Critical Security Studies
  • Technology and Society

Background:

  • Google develops numerous security products for diverse users, including government entities.
  • Internal debates exist within Google regarding its involvement in security, war, and weaponry.
  • The study examines the socio-political roles of Big Tech, specifically Google, in contemporary society.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze how Google emerges as a security actor.
  • To understand Google's appropriation of security across its platforms, products, and projects.
  • To explore the interdisciplinary connections between new media studies and critical security studies regarding Big Tech.

Main Methods:

  • Interdisciplinary approach combining new media studies and critical security studies.
  • Analysis of Google's ecosystem of platforms, products, and projects.
  • Examination of how Google balances neutrality and progressivism in its security initiatives.

Main Results:

  • Google's primary objective is platform security, achieved through a balance of perceived neutrality and progressivism.
  • The company develops seemingly mundane security products and services aligned with its platform logic.
  • Google effectively locks in users and reframes security issues as platform-centric concerns.

Conclusions:

  • Google strategically appropriates (in)security to enhance its platform's dominance and user base.
  • The company positions its platform as a public and security concern, blurring lines between technology and societal safety.
  • This research highlights the complex relationship between Big Tech, security, and platform governance.
