Article #1: How “Dead” Bacteria Return to Life Summary
The article, How “Dead” Bacteria Return to Life, discusses how bacteria that can be switch to a dormant stage, can survive when no growth is deemed possible. The people working in these findings are international researchers working with Professor Karl Forchhammer and Alexander Klotz at University of Tübingen 's Interfaculty Institute of Microbiology and Infection Medicine. It is stated that the cells stop photosynthesis and begin to reserve their energy. In addition, it is stated that protein-synthesizing mechanisms take in nitrogen and after 48 hours, begin to grow and divide. In addition, it is stated in the article that being able to control the life span of bacteria can better help them “control the spread of dangerous bacteria.”

It is incredible to know that there are people researching life against the known norms. One is used to understanding that when something is dead, it is dead, and it can’t be brought back to life. Returning cells to life can seem as such a small accomplishment, but in reality it is huge. Taking a …show more content…
Yoshinori Ohsumi is a cell biologist at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. He discovered how cells clean out their trash. As a result of this discovery, he was the 2016 recipient of the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine. It was discovered that if cells do not get rid of their trash, there can be harmful effects such as the contractions of Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease. It is stated in the article by Maria Masucci, that the knowledge provided by this research will help develop new strategies for the treatment of human diseases. It was concluded from the research that the activity that occurs in the lysosomes does not lead to the similarity of a trashcan. The activity that occurs in the lysosomes is similar to that which occurs in a recycling
