Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells01:19

Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

The hematopoietic stem cells or HSCs are multipotent, meaning they can differentiate and give rise to all blood and immune cells. HSCs are maintained in the quiescent stage until an external stimulus initiates their differentiation. The multipotent HSCs exist as two heterogeneous populations, long-term repopulating cells (LTRC) and short-term repopulating cells (STRC). The two HSC populations have different surface markers or receptors and are classified based on quiescence and long-term...
Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses01:22

Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses

The physiological function of a cell and cellular communication are outcomes of a range of extrinsic signals, intracellular signaling pathways, and cellular responses. No two cell types express the same repertoire of signaling components. Receptors are highly selective for their cognate ligands, but once activated, they can alter multiple cellular processes such as DNA transcription, protein synthesis, and metabolic activity. 
Graded and Abrupt Responses
Some signaling systems generate...
Stem Cell Niche01:26

Stem Cell Niche

The stem cell niche is the dynamic microenvironment where stem cells reside. Inside these niches, the cells may remain undifferentiated, undergo high self-renewal, or become lineage-specific progenitors. Stem cells coexist with other niche cells, such as stromal cells. They also interact closely with the ECM. Cell-cell and cell-matrix communication occur via adhesion molecules or soluble factors that signal the stem cells and determine their fate. Stromal cells also provide survival signals to...
Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...
Stem Cell Culture01:17

Stem Cell Culture

Stem cell research aims to find ways to use stem cells to regenerate and repair cellular damage. Over time, most adult cells undergo the wear and tear of aging and lose their ability to divide and repair themselves. Stem cells do not display a particular morphology or function. Adult stem cells, which exist as a small subset of cells in most tissues, keep dividing and can differentiate into a number of specialized cells generally formed by that tissue. These cells enable the body to renew and...

Area of Science:

  • STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and workforce diversity.

Background:

  • Underrepresented groups (URGs) remain significantly underrepresented in the STEM workforce and academia.
  • Low representation of diverse faculty can hinder the retention of URG students in STEM fields.
  • Existing mentoring models, while beneficial, may limit URG students' exposure to diverse STEM career pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the underrepresentation of URGs in STEM.
  • To enhance the career development of 2nd-year STEM students from URGs.
  • To broaden URG students' understanding of diverse STEM professions.

Main Methods:

  • Development and implementation of a career-focused mentoring program.
  • Inclusion of a wide range of STEM professions and mentors from URGs.
  • Targeting 2nd-year undergraduate STEM students.

Main Results:

  • The program aimed to provide broader career exposure beyond academic research.
  • It sought to support the career development of URG students.
  • Focus on connecting students with diverse URG professionals in various STEM fields.

Conclusions:

  • Career-focused mentoring can be a valuable strategy to support URG students in STEM.
  • Broadening exposure to diverse STEM careers may improve retention and engagement.
  • The UMBC STEM BUILD program's model offers a potential solution to increase URG representation in STEM.
