Inspired by the brain’s complexity, a neural network comprises neurons communicating with one another. It can be trained to learn certain patterns in the data that are invisible to the common person. By studying the trained network, we can uncover patterns that we would have never thought to seek. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Neural_network_example.svg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53caec40e4b0fa81a697283a/5ab2e51e-d531-4e94-8197-40c4aa2defb2/Screenshot+2024-07-16+at+1.14.21%E2%80%AFPM.png All Posts - Understanding ‘understanding’: What We Understand is Influenced by How We Understand - Make it stand out Schematic of a mouse running freely in an experimental field. Yellow asterisk denotes the place field of a place cell, i.e., the exclusive location where the cell activates. Blue asterisks denote grid fields of grid cells, which activate along different vertices of a grid (not described in main text). The same place cell described may in fact also activate exclusively for different sounds or other mice, suggesting that it encodes more than just location. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RatGPS.svg http://www.phdish.com/blog/mysteries-of-rem-sleep monthly 0.5 2023-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53caec40e4b0fa81a697283a/82dcca3e-dbf2-4aeb-b44b-d0412c1e4f4d/Screen+Shot+2023-06-23+at+11.06.41+AM.png All Posts - The Mysteries of REM Sleep - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53caec40e4b0fa81a697283a/0c30d9a4-8e41-4706-920c-ab906c56de37/Screen+Shot+2023-06-23+at+11.01.51+AM.png All Posts - The Mysteries of REM Sleep - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53caec40e4b0fa81a697283a/fce2f9c6-3d6a-4b9d-bd22-76469d7ceb5d/Screen+Shot+2023-06-23+at+11.06.55+AM.png All Posts - The Mysteries of REM Sleep - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53caec40e4b0fa81a697283a/70026c5b-7693-43d1-b32c-c7f9deb6fc46/Screen+Shot+2023-06-23+at+11.05.05+AM.png All Posts - The Mysteries of REM Sleep - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.phdish.com/blog/healthcare-in-the-metaverse monthly 0.5 2023-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53caec40e4b0fa81a697283a/2ba58828-ba9a-456c-8591-5f1cbf3391e8/Fotolia_195520612_Subscription_Monthly_M-1.jpg All Posts - Healthcare in the Metaverse - Make it stand out Source: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Fotolia_195520612_Subscription_Monthly_M-1.jpg http://www.phdish.com/blog/animal-assisted-interventions monthly 0.5 2022-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53caec40e4b0fa81a697283a/d447df47-c527-4cec-95ed-b5e465de580e/Picture1.jpg All Posts - Animal-Assisted Interventions - Make it stand out Figure 1: My dog, Levi http://www.phdish.com/blog/do-houseplants-cure-my-air monthly 0.5 2022-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53caec40e4b0fa81a697283a/f5057380-edf6-41f2-acbb-472d0beb6808/Screen+Shot+2022-09-28+at+10.25.43+AM.png All Posts - Do Houseplants Cure My Air? - Make it stand out Monstera deliciosa plant, commonly found in houseplant collectors’ collections.

Image is from a French source. Plastic PET composition is shown at the top. The first enzyme PETase converts PET to MHET, which gets further broken down by the enzyme MHETase into the monomers ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. The description under the monomers suggests that these products are used for growth by the bacteria.

Mutations can be induced in genes through processes such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Mutated gene libraries are cloned into bacteria like E. coli to assess gene function in the context of a specific desired phenotype. Cells that gain a survival advantage are isolated to investigate which gene mutation gave them this advantage.

Differences in the rate or extent of these changes can lead to preterm birth. Understanding the mechanisms of these differences will allow doctors to screen for at-risk pregnancies before they become a problem. Taken from reference 20. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53caec40e4b0fa81a697283a/1440094071038-30QBYUZZ934QGOTD88EW/Engler.jpg All Posts - Push, Pull, and Bend: The mechanics of biological systems Substrate elasticity directs stem cell differentiation. Blue, green, and orange symbols represent the level of proteins associated with brain, muscle, and bone cells, respectively. As substrate stiffness increases stem cells differentiate toward the cell type that resides in tissues of that elasticity. Blebbistatin is a drug that blocks the action of myosin motor proteins. When blebbistatin is applied to stem cells, they can't "feel" the substrate elasticity through the actin cytoskeleton, and therefore don't differentiate on any stiffness. Taken from reference 2. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53caec40e4b0fa81a697283a/1440094986394-JIQZPOL4EF876GSOYDTX/Warkiani.jpg All Posts - Push, Pull, and Bend: The mechanics of biological systems Circulating tumor cells have different sizes and densities than white blood cells. This microfluidics device uses these properties to separate out CTCs from a blood sample for genetic characterization.

ErbB2 is a growth factor receptor that is amplified in many breast cancers. In this experiment ribose treatment leads to ECM stiffening. Either GFR amplification or ECM stiffening breaks down the organization of acinii, but both are required for metastatic outgrowth.
