1. Building & Testing a Component of Synthetic Genetic Circuit in Mammalian Cells

   Animations | 20 Aug 2022 | Contributor(s):: Ariel Delos Reyes, Rice University

   Oscillations in protein levels within cells help facilitate a variety of biological processes, from circadian rhythm to cell cycle progression. This research focuses on developing a platform for creating oscillatory circuits in mammalian cells by using several interrelated DNA constructs....

2. Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes and Mesothelioma: An ICON Backgrounder

   Animations | 23 Feb 2009 | Contributor(s):: Kristen Kulinowski

   Two studies published in the Journal of Toxicological Sciences and Nature Nanotechnology in 2008 have demonstrated that some multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT or MWNT) can induce in mice a response similar to that induced by certain asbestos fibers. At a first glance, certain MWCNT and...
