Diversity of Antigen Receptors

Diversity of Antigen Receptors

Antigen receptors are essential components of the immune system crucial in defending the body against foreign invaders. These receptors are present on the surface of B and T cells, enabling them to recognize antigens and mount an appropriate immune response.
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...

Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses

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...

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Dose-Response Relationship: Selectivity and Specificity

Dose-Response Relationship: Selectivity and Specificity

Drugs exert their therapeutic effects by interacting with receptors, enzymes, or ion channels that are present throughout the human body. The strength and duration of the interaction between a drug and its target receptor are characterized by the selectivity and specificity of the drug. Selectivity refers to a drug's strong preference for its intended target over other targets. For instance, isoprenaline, a non-selective β-adrenergic agonist, interacts with both β1- and...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Research Workforce Diversity
Translational Science
Research Administration

Background:

National Institutes of Health (NIH) diversity supplements aim to increase workforce diversity.
Practical barriers hinder the effective utilization of these valuable resources.
The Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute (ACTRI) at UC San Diego (UCSD) identified a need for improved application support.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and implement an institutional repository and support system to enhance NIH diversity supplement applications.
To overcome practical barriers faced by potential applicants.
To create a scalable model for other institutions.

Main Methods:

Established a secure, web-based repository with successful NIH diversity supplement examples.
Implemented a matchmaking system connecting applicants with mentors.
Provided web-based resources for prospective applicants.
Launched the system in June 2021 and tracked access and application data.

Main Results:

The repository contains 51 supplement examples across 14 NIH divisions.
Accessed by 51 potential applicants since implementation.
Early data indicates a doubling of diversity supplement applications at UCSD compared to the pre-implementation period.
Limited uptake of the mentor matchmaking component.

Conclusions:

A centralized repository and support system can effectively address barriers to NIH diversity supplement applications.
This model shows promise for increasing applications and contributing to a more diverse biomedical research workforce.
Further refinement is needed to address implementation challenges and maximize resource utilization.
