Cell biology

chose to go into developmental and stem cell biology lies in the potential applications for the field. While I enjoyed my experience in bacterial bioinformatics, and have gained a greater appreciation for computational biology, I want to pursue a field that is more applicable to human health. The ability of the ability of induced pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into any cell of the adult organism, and without the same ethical debate as Embryonic Stem Cells, has incredible potential for…

People keep wondering whether cloning should be evolved or completely banned. According to biology, cloning is the procedure of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals. Clones are organisms that are genetically duplicates of each other. Where each and every piece of their DNA is identical. Cloning is a very important topic which has many branches under it. For example natural cloning, molecular cloning, human cloning, animal cloning, organ cloning, and many other…

Discussion Microscope is an optical instrument that have magnifying lens which is used for inspecting objects that is too small to be seen or to be seen distinctly and in details by the unaided eye. Microscope also is an optical instrument that keep observe specimen in resolution and magnitude way. However, there are some microbes such as viruses that cannot be observe by certain microscope and this microbes has to be observe using electronic microscope which has more magnification power. In…

Bacteria had been in existence for billions of years however, 1.6bya during the Proterozoic era, we suddenly find the emergence of complex eukaryotic cells. All eukaryote cells share one common ancestor which emerged just once in 4 billion years of life on earth and all plants, protists, algae, animals and fungi are constituted by these cells. The cellular structure of bacteria and eukaryotes are so different there is no evidence to support the ‘directional’ evolution of eukaryotes from bacteria…

This summer I had an internship working in Paul Garrity’s behavioral biology lab at Brandeis University and conducted experiments on genetically modified common fruit fly, Drosophilia. There I learned about the important research that is being done on these fruit flies throughout the country and the burgeoning science of genetic modification that has begun dominating laboratories across the country. This research focused in on the sensory receptors that the flies use to detect changes in…

change. The changes made to the genes cannot be unchanged, and thus these changes will be inherited by the future generations. Marcy Darnovsky (2014) claims in Genetically Modified Babies that genetic modification is dangerous. This method alters every cell in the children’s bodies regardless of their function where these changes might transfer to the future. In addition, designer baby is not a free error process. Numerous mistakes might happen in the laboratory causing accidental miscarriage.…

of Southern California (USC). Her lab investigates stem cell malfunction, regulation, and coordination at the single cell level (1). Furthermore, she uses mouse hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) as a model system (1). Dr. Lu’s research utilize various disciplines of biology such as molecular, cellular, and systems biology (1). Additionally, Dr. Lu’s research focuses on investigating the differences and coordination between individual stem cells (1). Essentially, her research provides new…

Forensic Functioning In America the word forensics proposes crime in a way that excites stories on serial killers, murder, crime scene investigation, and heavy DNA analysis. In reality, this only breaks the ice on what forensic science fully consists of. Forensic science is initially any science used for the purpose of law. The evidence tested is used in the court of law, criminal investigation, and trial. A forensic scientist does perform tests on blood and bodily fluid as well as…

journey I need to do in order to be a Marine Biologist is you have to have an interest of Marine Biology. Also in high school you can be apart of summer internships for Marine Biology. Also I can look at schools with good Marine Biology programs or General Biology programs. For college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Biology or Marine Biology. After that you can get a master’s degree in Marine Biology, and then get a Ph.D in the same subject. The next three steps that I need to take in…
