MSU College of Natural Science

The College of Natural Science is home to biological, mathematical and physical sciences at @michiganstateu. #SpartansWill

[MSU College of Natural Science @MSUNatSci]

For graduate students in MGI 991: “Metals in Biology,” the #lab is their classroom, and that classroom houses some of the most advanced scientific equipment at @michiganstateu.

1/3 What if your graduate class gave you access to some of MSU’s most advanced research tools?

In MGI 991: Metals in Biology, students learn elemental analysis by actually doing it — working hands-on with sophisticated instrumentation in MSU’s QBEAM facility.

The Poweshiek skipperling, one of the world's rarest butterflies, began disappearing with startling speed in the early 2000s. By 2022, only nine were left in the U.S.

Thanks to the efforts of MSU researchers, these butterflies have been pulled back from the brink of extinction.

Typically known to cause neurotoxicity and paralysis, wolfsbane and larkspur can also counter pain, cancer, malaria and more.

MSU and @CzechAcademy researchers discovered how to recreate these compounds in the lab, leading the way to improved, naturally-sourced therapeutics.

How plants allocate #sulfur is a time-sensitive question, as stores of plant-available sulfur, and the deposition which has historically replenished reserves, are in steep decline worldwide.

Protein CDK8 helps plants budget sulfur for critical functions: https://t.co/5F4ph7kKhJ

Sometimes, research leads to one more thing: striking, unexpected art. From naturally occurring patterns made by honeybees to microscopic images of gut neurons, here is a glimpse into the beauty revealed by @michiganstateu research. https://t.co/CWiNvyWZcC

[MSU College of Natural Science @MSUNatSci]

Researchers at @michiganstateu have developed a powerful new tool that allows them to investigate one of #regenerative biology’s biggest questions. Why can zebrafish regenerate damaged gut nerves while humans largely cannot?
