Let There Be Light!

The invention of the microscope has been fundamental for the understanding of tissue architecture and subcellular structures. With the advancement of higher magnification microscopes came the development of various molecular biology tools such as Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and in situ proximity ligation assay (in situ PLA) to monitor protein interactions. Microscopy has become a c...

To let hair be, or to not let hair be? Gender and body hair removal practices in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Research and anecdotal evidence suggest women continue to remove body hair, and there is some evidence for cultural changes in men's hair removal practices. This paper reports on data collected using an online mix-methods survey from 584 New Zealanders between the ages of 18-35 (mean age 26, 48.9% male, 50.6% female). The data demonstrated that substantial proportions of both women and men in A...

found that self-organizing waves of NAD(P)H can help neutrophils to destroy their targets. When the waves reach the front of the cell, the NAD(P)H donates an electron to NADPH oxidase, which passes it on to oxygen to form reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) that help weaken the membranes of bacterial, virus-infected and tumor cells. The team first described the existence of NAD(P)H waves in a pa...
