Rebecca Heald: Passionate about cycles
W hen she isn't cycling up a mountain, Rebecca Heald is blazing new trails in cell biology. Her work on dynamic cytoskeletal structures involved in mitosis and meio-sis—particularly the microtubule-based mitotic spindle—has continually set the pace in her fi eld. After completing her graduate studies on nuclear lamins in Frank McKeon's laboratory at Harvard (1), Heald sought a change of scenery...
متن کاملMicrobes turn industrial waste into a nanocatalyst
Research posted today on ES&T’s Research ASAP website (10.1021/es0509836) describes how, in one elegant step, selected bacteria can recover precious metals from industrial waste solutions and deposit them as nanocrystal catalysts on their cell surfaces. By using the metal-covered biomass to clean up toxic chromium wastes, the researchers demonstrated the approach’s potential as a sustainable te...
متن کاملHow Bacteria Turn Fiber into Food
Most people think of fiber as being the part of our food we can’t digest—but with the help of symbiotic bacteria in our guts, we can actually get some nutrition from the complex carbohydrates such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin that make up plants’ cell walls. The bacteria produce an arsenal of enzymes that break down these carbs into simple sugars, which are then in turn fermented to ...
متن کاملHow Did Dinosaur Bones Turn Into Fossils?
If fossilization was simply replacement of bone with stone, fossil and living bones wouldn't be as chemically similar as they are, and the intricate details found in fossilized dinosaur bones would not have survived [1]. Even more intriguing is the fact that some of the proteins in bone have survived the fossilization process, in dinosaurs and "older" fossils [2], a fact very consistent with a ...
متن کاملSonoluminescence: How Bubbles Turn Sound into Light
Sonoluminescence, the transduction of sound into light, is a phenomenon that pushes fluid mechanics beyond its limit. An initial state with long wavelength and low Mach number, such as is realized for a gas bubble driven by an audible sound field, spontaneously focuses the energy density so as to generate supersonic motion and a different phase of matter, from which are then emitted picosecond ...
