From Roux’s rigid fate maps to Turing’s reaction-diffusion, pattern formation has been a biochemical puzzle—until mechanics entered the scene.
Join us as we explore the nuances of developmental biology with @vaishnav_manoj_.
Pre-requisite: Blind faith in embryo resilience.
Ants and humans share a rare ability: each can work together in groups to mobilize oversized objects. In a new @PNASNews study, Prof. @feinermo and his team explored this, uncovering surprising insights into the strengths and challenges of cooperation >> https://t.co/Z63V4Ka2kL
Protein purification with light via a genetically encoded azobenzene side chain
"the UV light-switchable cis/trans-isomerization of the ncAA Pap enables one-step protein purification" https://t.co/ADmkVh19gt
Here is a glowing puzzle for you: Can you guess what's captured in this fluorescence image?
Drop your answers in the comments! Let's see who gets it right first!
Happy #FluorescenceFriday#TheBioClub#Science#GuessTheImage
Beauty or a Feast?
Beauty is a double-edged sword: it lures mates but also predators. In the dance of survival, risk and reward flutter together.
Any thoughts??

Interactions between an effector protein produced by pathogenic bacteria, male insects and a plant transcription factor influence female attraction to the plant.

In BioBulletin's third talk, we'll dive into the microbial world. Antibiotic resistance has been a growing concern in the medical field. Some species are already immune to the drugs we've built against them.
Therefore thinking of new ways to defend against bacterial infections is an important task. Ketki will tell us about how bacteriophages can be used to tackle bacterial infections with reference to her previous work.
Zinc fingers can be made synthetically and have a role in Gene Editing.
We hope you are as curious as we are and don't forget to come because the talk will be finger-licking good.

In Our Second BioBulletin talk, Rudra will give us some insight into Zinc Fingers. Zinc fingers are proteins abundantly present in living systems, especially humans. They have varied biochemical functions. They are present in the transcription process and help suppress diseases.
Choosing a lab for your MSc project? TheBioClub has you covered with CellMates, a one-day program where you can visit labs, meet PIs, and explore your options. An exclusive event for the 3rd year Integrated MSc students of the School of Biological Sciences.
It's a fun, low-pressure way to look at potential research environments firsthand. Please note that this isn't part of the official MSc lab allotment, this is just a helpful way to explore your options!
