We human beings have a seemingly insatiable desire to experience the bodies underneath our skins. While many scholars have treated the subject of looking into or through bodies via medical imaging, one perhaps understudied trope is that of body voyaging. A few writers and artists have imagined what it would be like to travel inside a body, to be a searching body in a body as landscape. This presentation will use images and text from a few more and less well-known 20th and 21st-century fantastic voyages to ask questions like, Is the purpose of such biotourism to make these spaces foreign or familiar? What kinds of relationships between our bodies and ourselves are being promoted? And perhaps most pressing of all, could you really do that?
Trophoblast motility in a gelatin hydrogel
New Rochelle, NY, December 18, 2020 Trophoblast cells, which surround the developing blastocyst in early pregnancy, play an important role in implantation in the uterine wall. A new multidimensional model of trophoblast motility that utilizes a functionalized hydrogel is described in the peer-reviewed journal
Tissue Engineering, Part A. Click here to read the full-text article free on the
Tissue Engineering website through January 18, 2020.
This valuable new tool, based on a methacrylamide-functionalized gelatin hydrogel, can be used for three-dimensional trophoblast spheroid motility assays. It can resolve quantifiable differences in outgrowth area and viability in the presence of a known invasion promoter and a known invasion inhibitor.
Transcription factors in the brain strongly correlate with the behavior of honey bees
An unusual study that involved barcoding and tracking the behavior of thousands of individual honey bees in six queenless beehives and analyzing gene expression in their brains offers new insights into how gene regulation contributes to social behavior.
The study, reported in the journal
eLife, reveals that the activity profile of regulator genes known as transcription factors in the brain strongly correlates with the behavior of honey bees, the researchers said. A single transcription factor can induce - or reduce - the expression of dozens of other genes.
