Animal Cell Structure Animal cells are like tiny factories in animals and humans, building tissues and organs. They have a special part called a nucleus, which is like the boss’s office, holding DNA instructions. This DNA guides the cell’s growth and actions. The cell also has other small parts, each doing a specific job to keep the cell running smoothly. #science #sciencefacts #sciencelover #scienceexperiment #scienceteacher #sciencerocks #backtoschool #animalcell #cell #education #educational #educationalactivities #lifescience #lifesciences #animalcell

With the right long-read sequencing technology, you can streamline your process and avoid juggling multiple 'good enough' workflows. HiFi sequencing provides haplotype-level assemblies for complex plant and animal species, thanks to its unique blend of high accuracy and long read lengths—all in one technology.

Crows can learn to count like young children Crows, known for their remarkable intelligence, have demonstrated an impressive ability to count and associate numbers with values, according to a recent study led by researchers from the University of Tübingen’s animal physiology lab in Germany. The findings show that crows can not only count up to four but also match the number of calls they make when shown a number. #earlylearning #preschoolmath

Today, April 24th, marks World Day for Animals in Laboratories, a globally recognized initiative shedding light on the widespread use of animals in scientific experimentation. Every year, millions of animals – including mice, rats, rabbits, primates, and more – are subjected to various procedures in research labs worldwide. While animal testing has contributed to significant scientific breakthroughs, it also raises ethical concerns regarding the treatment of sentient beings and the validity of extrapolating results from animals to humans. Moreover, the growing consensus among scientists and ethicists emphasizes the need for alternative methods that are not only more humane but also more accurate and reliable. Fortunately, advancements in technology have paved the way for innovative alternatives to traditional animal testing, such as in vitro studies, computer modeling, organ-on-a-chip technology, and human-derived cell cultures. These methods not only reduce the reliance on animal models but also offer more precise insights into human biology and disease mechanisms. On this World Day for Animals in Laboratories, let's raise awareness about the ethical considerations surrounding animal testing, advocate for the adoption of alternative methods, and support initiatives that prioritize the welfare of both animals and scientific progress. Together, we can strive towards a future where cutting-edge research is conducted with compassion and respect for all living beings. #WorldDayforAnimalsinLaboratories #AnimalWelfare #ScientificAdvancement 🌍🐾

Animal cells are highly complex and dynamic structures that enable the vast diversity of life within the animal kingdom. Their intricate organization and specialized components work together to maintain the functions necessary for life, growth, and reproduction. Understanding animal cell biology provides essential insights into health, disease, and the fundamental processes that sustain living organisms.

A Venn Diagram can be used to illustrate the concept of cell organelles by comparing and contrasting their functions and structures. For instance, one circle could represent organelles found in plant cells, another circle could represent organelles found in animal cells, and the overlapping area would represent organelles that are common to both plant and animal cells. This visual tool helps to clearly show the similarities and differences between the organelles, such as chloroplasts being unique to plant cells, mitochondria being found in both, and lysosomes being more prominent in animal cells. #CellOrganelles #PlantCells #AnimalCell #IWS #ScienceatIWS #ImperialWorldSchool #iwseducationalvideo

The Society for Alternatives to Animal Testing in Sri Lanka (SAAT-SL), is proud to announce the initiation of a Review Writing Competition on Alternative Models for Laboratory Animal Research. This competition aims to specially encourage undergraduate and postgraduate students to explore and discuss innovative alternative models to animal testing in scientific research. The review should focus on "Alternative Models for Laboratory Animal Research." Participants are encouraged to explore a wide range of alternatives, including in-vitro methods (cells and tissue culture), alternative organisms to higher order animals (such as Zebrafish, Amphibians, C. elegans, Drosophila etc), in-silico models such as computational and mathematical models, and other innovative approaches. Categories I. Undergraduate student category II. Postgraduate student category (MSc, MPhil or PhD candidates) III.
