Exploring the intricate world of aquaporins, genes pivotal in a myriad of metabolic processes in both humans and animals, I'm currently engaged in a fascinating journey. Through histoimmunological assessments across various tissues where these genes are prominently expressed, we're unraveling new dimensions of understanding. This endeavor is not just a scientific pursuit but a crucial step toward tackling human health challenges head-on. The path is steep, yet the collective efforts of countless researchers and healthcare professionals worldwide inspire hope. Their dedication is a beacon, guiding us toward a healthier future. Let's continue to push the boundaries of what's possible. Together, we can make significant strides in mitigating health risks and enhancing well-being. The journey is tough, but the impact is worth every effort. Here's to all those making a difference – your work is invaluable, and there's still much to be done. #Watchout!! #GSUGSO #Biotechnology #Cancerresearch #Georgiasouthernuniversity

#YearInReview: Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory adapted a DNA editing tool to make engineering microbes easier and faster. The Serine recombinase-Assisted Genome Engineering, or SAGE system, lets scientists quickly insert and test new DNA designs in a variety of microorganisms. Engineered microbes hold promise for making #biofuels, recycling mixed #plastics, aiding soil #carbon storage and treating health disorders. https://lnkd.in/g383APh3

🚀🚀🚀 My discussion with Claude.AI with respect to working on aging culminated in this conclusion: 🔬🔬🔬 "When reaching out to labs, you could mention your interest in synthetic cells and how you see them as a powerful tool for both understanding fundamental biology and developing future interventions in aging." #longevity #basicResearch #applications #aging #claudeAI

Gone fishin’ (for breakthroughs). What do you see being utilized in a new and unique way in the future of science and healthcare? Researchers explore the collagen-rich matrix of barrel jellyfish for creating a natural hydrogel structure called JellaGel. Exciting possibilities for lab-grown humanlike organs and tissues.

It's so interesting to see how closely living systems interact. Endophytes of Brassica juncea actually interact and influence with the plant' s transcriptome. These tiny microscopic friends of plants influence their host genes and actually benefit 🌱!! Finding this out was so amazing and finally publishing it ia all the more rewarding 😇. Plant enthusiasts must read. #WomeninSTEM #Climatechange #Microbemediatedremediation

Bacteria, gold in our hands!   They're so small and invisible, yet they have a huge impact on our lives. Together, let's discover the superpowers of #bacteria. Having appeared 3.8 billion years ago, bacteria are able to adapt to any environment, and are now the subject of a great many scientific research projects.   Whether it's to fight cancer, decontaminate polluted soil or find an alternative to animal proteins, bacteria are an underestimated resource with the potential to help us meet tomorrow's environmental and societal challenges.

Imagine a Future: Picture a world where synthetic biology has solved our biggest challenges. From hunger to disease, how do you think our lives will change? Share your visions in the comments below:

Are we getting closer to finding a key molecular switch needed to make agriculture more sustainable and climate resilient? Noé Perron reports the first single-cell characterization of leaf cells transitioning from C3 to CAM photosynthesis, in the common ice plant. His pseudotime analysis shows how mesophyll cell state changes between both forms of photosynthesis, a path towards the identification of regulators of this process. Thanks Chris Dervinis, Wendell Jacinto Pereira and Brad Barbazuk for contributing to this work! #singlecell #photosynthesis

#ScienceAdvances, July 2024, #ResearchHighlight. Imagine you're sending a package with a #tracking number to ensure it reaches its destination. #ExoGlow works similarly by #labeling #extracellular #vesicles (#EVs) with a special 'tracking dye,' allowing researchers to see where these tiny #therapeutic packages go within the body. Just as you can track your luggage with an AirTag, #ExoGlow helps scientists track the movement and impact of EVs in living organisms, ensuring they reach the right place, like #fetal #lungs, to deliver their therapeutic effects.
