A pre-class survey (see Supplementary Materials) was administered near the start of the course to gather a baseline of participants’ prior knowledge and experience with the EBIPs introduced in the course, their teaching experience, and their participation in teaching-related professional development. ...
STEM Education for Children with Sickle Cell Disease: Unique Educational Outreach Program Taught By Near-Peer Undergraduate StudentsOne fifth of school aged children in the US have a chronic medical illness and represent an underserved and educationally disadvantaged population.

2015). In areas with high poverty and minority populations, these problems are even more acute (NCES 2015). For states that do not have a shortage, students may still be taught by teachers out of their fields. For instance, in 2012, 43% of high school biology teachers reported they were...
While the active effects of testosterone on the transcriptome are robust in both sexes, it appears that these differences revert back to near baseline if TP is removed from downstream cellular lineages. This finding prompted us to next investigate how testosterone altered the epigenome in eNSCs, ...
Recently, loss-of-function mutations in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and ecotropic virus integration site-1 (EVI1) complex locus (MECOM) have been identified that lead to a severe neonatal bone marrow failure syndrome3,4,5. Haploinsufficiency ofMECOMleads to near complete loss of HSCs within...
[2]. As the world’s older population is growing, the number of people with degenerative nerve diseases will overtake cancer in the near future and become the second leading cause of death in the world [3]. Neurodegenerative diseases impact a wide range of individual activities such as ...
RNAscope analysis also showed near-complete loss of Axin2 and Lgr5 transcripts in Lats1/2-mutated intestines (Figure 2D), suggesting that Lats1/2 kinases are required to maintain Wnt pathway activation in the crypt. Download: Download high-res image (2MB) Download: Download full-size image ...
Heatmap of various histone modifications suggest that active histone marks have high correlation and are grouped together for efficient gene expression (Figure6A, blue square). Surprisingly, we observed higher correlation of H3K14ac with various repressive marks, such as H3K27me3 and H3K9me3, ...
