Resumen

La diversidad en ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas (STEM) es baja. Este estudio propone cuatro estrategias para que las instituciones más pequeñas apoyen a los académicos subrepresentados en STEM, aprovechando sus fortalezas únicas.

Área de la Ciencia:

Educación STEM
Diversidad en la educación superior

Sus antecedentes:

La diversidad en los campos STEM sigue siendo un desafío importante.
Las instituciones más pequeñas a menudo sirven a poblaciones estudiantiles más diversas, pero tienen menos recursos que las universidades más grandes.

Objetivo del estudio:

Proponer estrategias viables para las instituciones más pequeñas para mejorar la diversidad en STEM.
Esbozar métodos para el avance de los académicos subrepresentados en las carreras de STEM.

Principales métodos:

El estudio propone cuatro estrategias distintas adaptadas a las instituciones más pequeñas.
Estas estrategias aprovechan las ventajas específicas inherentes a entornos académicos más pequeños.

Principales resultados:

Las estrategias propuestas tienen como objetivo mejorar el reclutamiento, la retención y el éxito de los estudiantes subrepresentados en STEM.
Centrarse en la utilización del entorno único de las escuelas más pequeñas para fomentar la diversidad.

Conclusiones:

Las instituciones más pequeñas pueden desempeñar un papel crucial en el avance de la diversidad STEM.
La aplicación de estas estrategias específicas puede apoyar eficazmente a los académicos con una representación insuficiente.

Stem Cell Culture

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...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

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 Niche

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...

Source And Potency Of Stem Cells

Source And Potency Of Stem Cells

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with extensive self-renewal properties that help them maintain their population during the fetal and adult stages of life. They can specialize in all cell types of the human body. However, their differential potential may vary and can be classified into five types. Stem cells can be (1) Totipotent, (2) Pluripotent, (3) Multipotent, (4) Oligopotent, and (5) Unipotent. Each stem cell has a specific origin; the fertilized egg or zygote is a totipotent cell and...

Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

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...
