Summary
Explore the intersection of mycology, art, and design through the Nobel Prize Museum's "Fungi-In Art and Science" exhibition. Discover how interdisciplinary collaboration with fungi fosters innovation and expands scientific understanding.
Area of Science:
- Mycology
- Art and Design
- Interdisciplinary Studies
Background:
- The Nobel Prize Museum exhibition "Fungi-In Art and Science" (September 30, 2023 - January 7, 2024) united scientists, artists, and designers.
- The exhibition aimed to transcend disciplinary boundaries, exploring the connections between scientific and creative realms through the lens of fungi.
Discussion:
- Interviews with Karl-Johan Cottman (artist), Vera Meyer (scientist), and Phil Ross (artist/designer) highlight diverse perspectives on fungi.
- Cottman's artistic fascination, Meyer's scientific integration of art, and Ross's use of fungi in art and sustainable production showcase varied engagement.
Key Insights:
- Fungi serve as a unifying subject, bridging disparate fields and fostering novel collaborations.

01:19Contact-dependent Signaling
44.5K
Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.

5.2K
Bones have various surface features that help form joints and attach to other soft tissues. Depending on the function, bone markings are categorized into articulating projections, processes for attachment, depressions, and openings.
Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

01:30Crossing Over
4.2K
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic information between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis I. Genetic recombination gives rise to allelic diversity in the newly formed daughter cells. In humans, crossing over produces genetically distinct haploid egg and sperm cells that undergo fertilization to produce unique offspring. Before cell division starts, the germ cell’s chromosome(s) undergo duplication in the S phase of the cell cycle. As the cells enter prophase I,...

01:03Anchoring Junctions
3.7K
Anchoring junctions are multiprotein complexes that help cells connect to other cells and the extracellular matrix. Anchoring junctions are present on the lateral and basal surfaces of cells, providing strong and flexible connections. Focal adhesions are often formed due to cell interactions with the ECM substrata, which initiate signal transduction via kinase cascades and other mechanisms. Together, they provide stability and tissue integrity. There are three types of anchoring junctions:...

01:19Anastomoses
696
In human anatomy, anastomosis refers to a connection or opening between two things, particularly between blood vessels or other tubular structures. The term is derived from the Greek term 'anastomosis,' which means 'outlet' or 'opening.' This natural network of connections plays a critical role in the survival and functionality of the human body.
Anastomoses can be formed at arterial, venous, and lymphatic vessels.

3.8K
The cardiovascular system's chief role is to disseminate gases, nutrients, waste, and other substances to the body's cells. Small molecules like gases, lipids, and lipid-soluble substances directly diffuse through capillary wall endothelial cell membranes. Glucose, amino acids, and ions, including sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride, use transporters for facilitated diffusion via membrane-specific channels. Glucose, ions, and bigger molecules may also pass through intercellular...
