This document provides an overview of cell structures and the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It begins with an introduction to cells as the basic units of life and defines prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The main body compares characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells such as cell size, presence of organelles, genetic material, and mode of division. It then describes the basic structures of plant and animal cells including cell membranes, cell walls, mitochondria, plastids, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, and nuclei.
Mitosis and meosis are two common phenomenons, one can get plenty information about these two but its significance is very rarely provided on social networks. Here is its significance, have a look.
An organelle is a specialized subunit that has a specific function. The name organelle comes from the idea that these structures are parts of cells, as organs are to the body, hence organelle. Organelles are either separately enclosed within their own lipid bilayers (also called membrane-bound organelles) or are spatially distinct functional units without a surrounding lipid bilayer (non-membrane bound organelles). Although most organelles are functional units within cells, some functional units that extend outside of cells are often termed organelles, such as cilia, the flagellum and archaellum, and the trichocyst.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

1. NUMBERS/RICHNESS
- the quantities of how many
species are found in an
area, or how many alleles a
species has for a single
locus, or how many
functional groups or
taxonomic groups higher
than species are present in
an ecosystem.

- stomach of the cell
Discovered by the Belgian cytologist Christian de Duve in 1949.
generated by the Golgi apparatus of animal and plant cells and contain digestive enzymes, which include carbohydrases, lipases, nucleases, and proteases. The enzymes are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum and processed by the Golgi apparatus, from which the lysosomes bud as vesicles.
Turgor- maintains internal hydrostatic pressure
Organelles - secretory vesicles
that is evident in non-dividing cells
Nucleolus - composed of proteins and nucleic acids
Its function is to transcribe ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assemble it within the cell. Another function of the nucleolus is to create ribosomes.
rRNA-is the RNA component of the ribosome
is a non-membrane bound structure[2] composed of proteins and nucleic acids found within the nucleus of cells. Its function is to transcribe ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assemble it within the cell. Another function of the nucleolus is to create ribosomes.

Birth of molecular biology
Heritage- riches of past
Biodiversity is not static, but constantly changing. (either progressive or regressive succession)
Biodiversity is increased by genetic change and evolutionary processes and reduced by processes such as habitat degradation, population decline, and extinction.
The striking feature of Earth is the existence of Life and the striking feature of Life is its Diversity.
The striking feature of Earth is the existence of Life and the striking feature of Life is its Diversity.
The amount of diversity at the genetic level is important because it represents the raw material for evolution and adaptation. More genetic diversity in a species or population means a greater ability for some of the individuals in it to adapt to changes in the environment. Less diversity leads to uniformity, which is a problem in the long term, as it is unlikely that any individual in the population would be able to adapt to changing conditions.
different kinds of organisms, relationships among species
Ecosystem-
different habitats, niches, species interactions
the variety of interactions among organisms in a community (or the variety of ecosystems on Earth)
It is the variety of different habitats/ecosystems in a particular area ( e.g.. wetland, woodland, grassland).
ecosystems differ in features such as physical structure, temperature, water availability and food types.
(area 1) has the greatest number of species, four in total.
different variants of the same gene, such as blue or brown eyes)
(area 1) has the greatest number of species, four in total.
(area 2) has fewer species, only three, but it has a greater evenness; there is an equal chance of getting an individual from each of the three species.
the relative abundance of species its evenness.
&quot;the variation in the abundance of individuals per species within a community.”
one antelope and one zebra when compared with another with one antelope and ten zebra, therefore, have same species richness but different species evenness.
(area 3) has even fewer species, just two, but it has the greatest difference.
contains both insects and a mammal, which is very distantly related to insects.
Why is biodiversity important?
Ecological: All living creatures are supported by the interactions among organisms and ecosystems.
Loss of biodiversity makes ecosystems less stable, more vulnerable to extreme events, and weakens its natural cycles.
Economic:: A biologically diverse natural environment provides humans with the necessities of life and forms the basis for the economy.
Every thing we buy and sell originates from the natural world.
Cultural: Most people feel connected to nature, often for reasons hard to explain.
Some feel a strong spiritual bond that may be rooted in our common biological ancestory.
Others are inspired by its beauty. Human cultures around the world profoundly reflect our visceral attachment to the natural world.
Thus cultural diversity is linked to Earth’s biodiversity.
Climate stability incl. purification of air and water
Protection of water resources
Biofuel
Loss – directly affects the species that rely on the habitat that is being changed and caused by industrial activities, aquaculture, agriculture, mining, deforestation, water extraction
The distribution of species (biogeography) is largely determined by climate; not able to adjust to fast pace change
Biotic pollution is the introduction of a foreign species into an area where it is not native
Exotic species – non-native species –foreign/alien species --often compete with, directly prey on native species (Golden Apple snail; tree snake transported to Guam caused extirpation (local extinction) of most resident birds
Poaching – illegal/commercial hunting
harvesting faster than the stocks can replace themselves
collecting live organisms for zoos, pet stores, research
Discharge of toxic synthetic chemicals and heavy metals into the environment
Is emitted in different forms (includes industrial waste, pesticides)
