Nanocourses: A Short Course Format as an Educational Tool in a Biological Sciences Graduate Curriculum [PDF]

CBE—Life Sciences Education, 2008
Traditional courses for graduate students in the biological sciences typically span a semester, are organized around the fundamental concepts of a single discipline, and are aimed at the needs of incoming students. Such courses demand significant time commitment from both faculty and course participants; thus, they are avoided by a subset of the ...

The Bacterial Type III Secretion System as a Broadly Applied Protein Delivery Tool in Biological Sciences [PDF]

Microorganisms
The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a nano-machine that allows Gram-negative bacteria to alter eukaryotic host biology by directly delivering effector proteins from the bacterial cytoplasm. Protein delivery based on the bacterial T3SS has been widely used in research in biology. This review explores recent advancements in the structure and function

Designing online species identification tools for biological recording: the impact on data quality and citizen science learning [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
In recent years, the number and scale of environmental citizen science programmes that involve lay people in scientific research have increased rapidly. Many of these initiatives are concerned with the recording and identification of species, processes which are increasingly mediated through digital interfaces.

Spatio-selective activation of nuclear translocation of YAP with light directs invasion of cancer cell spheroids

iScience, 2021
Summary: The mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix strongly influence tumor progression and invasion. Yes-associated protein (YAP) has been shown to be a key regulator of this process translating mechanical cues from the extracellular matrix ...
