Immature cardiomyocytes derived from human iPS cells spreading out in culture- a powerful model system for studying sarcomere assembly.

A 66-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of abdominal bloating and worsening constipation. The physical examination revealed a painless pulsatile abdominal mass, which CT angiography revealed to be a large aortic aneurysm. Read the full case: https://t.co/pKG95zstGy

@drsarahgrace Definitely! LOL

Here is our new paper on a small molecule allosteric binding site on KRAS—9 years of work. Congrats to the team! #KRAS @ACSpressroom @BiochemistryACS https://t.co/mNB9TTg3nV

@TinaByrd46 Hi Tina! What classes are you taking in the summer! I will be doing research so I will probably see you around if your classes are on campus! Trust me you do not want to be close to graduation, it's probably one of the most emotional and stressful times :( #prescottbiochemistry

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@JamesMichalopo1 That sounds amazing James! Shadowing doctors in Greece! Hope you gain a lot of knowledge from your experience and good luck in your med school applications! #prescottbiochemistry

@DanielGacharna1 Wow Daniel! I am so jealous! I want to go to #colombia too!! It sounds like to you will be having a nice summer! Enjoy! #prescottbiochemistry

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

Hi guys! My future plans are to continue doing research during the summer, fall and spring with Dr. Johnson in pancreatic cancer. I will be graduating Spring19 and getting ready for my MCAT and Med School application. Good luck to everyone! #prescottbiochemistry

@BSCIProf I can see why MD/DO would need to understand gross anatomy. Especially for people who get gum cancer? My grandfather died of stomach cancer, but they found out after his cancer had metastasized all the way to his mouth. His dentist was the first one to see his cancer #INCO4031

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@BSCIProf That's awesome for future dentists! I have a friend who wants to be a dentist! I will definitely tell her all about it! #INCO4031

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@BSCIProf It was very interesting to hear how Dr. Mary Wicenski found her path into dentistry through a college aptitude test. Also, how different their initial career choices were from where they ended #INCO4031

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@BSCIProf I learned that a Dentist can choose to have their own practice or be an associate. I learned that Dental School is super expensive! 100k a year! I think you really have to love it to pay so much for tuition. #INCO4031

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@Madethisforbio1 That is correct! The role of different enzymes through the body is so complex and important for several functions at a cellular and genetic level. Biochemistry definitely gave us a better picture of these reactions by combining organic chemistry with biology!#prescottbiochemistry

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@GenomicsRaph Hi Raph! You are correct! This course went into so many details about all these processes that created a better understanding of metabolism and energy production in the body! #prescottbiochemistry

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@mpowahs7 That is so true Maddie! There are so many proteins that do in some cases important functions from metabolism to even act as a lethal killer! The beauty of science! #prescottbiochemistry

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@B603Zach That's awesome Zach! What kind of research did you have in mind to do? #prescottbiochemistry

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@MSimoesJunior @BSCIProf It's amazing how they go through diagnosis just like a regular doctor! Making the doctor almost needless, but on the other side, I can see how PAs help doctors with the load of patients. #INCO4031

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@BSCIProf It was interesting to learn how PA gets trained across all fields of medicine. I see that no too many decide to move from specialty to another but the fact that they can do anything is amazing! #INCO4031

[Blanca Santibanez @md_bcs]

@BSCIProf I was really impressed by the amount of work that PA does. I had experienced before when shadowing in the ER how much nurses do but never really saw how much the PA did as well. I would like to shadow PA and see how their days are like. #INCO4031
