Capsaicin Receptor... why peppers feel "hot"

The capsaicin receptor is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the TRPV1 gene. The function of TRPV1 is detection and regulation of body temperature. In addition, TRPV1 provides a sensation of scalding heat and pain. TRPV1 is an element of the mammalian somatosensory system. It is a nonselective cation channel that may be activated by a variety physical and chemical stimuli. The best-known activators of TRPV1 are: temperature greater than 43 °C (109 °F); acidic conditions; capsaicin (the irritating compound in hot chili peppers); and allyl isothiocyanate, the pungent compound in mustard and wasabi. The activation of TRPV1 leads to a painful, burning sensation.

Streptococcus Bacteria

Streptococcus bacteria are an example of cocci (round bacteria) that form chains. There are currently over 50 species of Streptococcus, which are classified based on their haemolytic properties. While some species cause disease in humans, many streptococcal species are non-pathogenic and form part of the human microbiota of the mouth, skin, intestine, and upper respiratory tract.

Volvox - Colonial Algae

Volvox is a colonial chlorophyte green algae found in freshwater ponds and lakes. It consists of a hollow ball of several thousand cells, each with a chloroplast and a pair of flagella. It reproduces asexually by budding off daughter colonies which rotate in the interior until they escape.

Malaria Parasite

The article reports on research into using actual mosquitos to deliver live Plasmodium parasites that do not get people sick. The parasites have been genetically modified with to help create an immune response without infecting the recipient.

Copper Reacts with Silver nitrate.

Copper is immersed into a 0.2M solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3).

Since copper is more reactive than silver, a single-displacement reaction occurs: Cu + AgNO3 -> Ag + Cu(NO3)2.

Formation of silver metal (Ag) is clearly visible.

As reaction progresses, the solution becomes slightly bluish due to Cu2+ ions.

Scanning electron micrograph of the stem from a stinging nettle (Urtica dioica). The large stinging hairs are hollow tubes which act like tiny glass needles. The bulb at the base of each hair contains the stinging liquid (including formic acid, histamine and acetylcholine). The tips of the glassy hairs are easily broken when brushed, which easily pierces the skin to deliver the sting. The plant and roots have been used historically in alternative medicine to treat a variety of conditions, possibly by decreasing inflammation and increasing urine output.

Insect Gyroscopes

Scanning electron micrograph of a haltere. Halteres are a pair of small club-shaped organs on the body of some flying insects (e.g. diptera). Halteres provide information about body rotations during flight. Examples of insects with halteres are houseflies, mosquitoes, gnats, and craneflies. Halteres oscillate rapidly along with the wings and operate like vibrating structure gyroscopes.

Gravitational Lensing

Gravitational lensing is the effect in which the image of a distant object is distorted by the gravitational field of an object in front of it. Initially, a distant galaxy is at the top, and the Earth at bottom. Diverging light rays from the galaxy are shown in white. If a massive object is placed in the middle, relativity predicts that the light will be bent towards the mass, in effect focusing it on Earth like a converging lens. Different arrangements produce slightly different effects. A single large mass can produce a ring with a bright central spot or multiple images forming a cross. When the lensing object is a massive cluster of galaxies, images of the more distant galaxy are likely to be smeared into thin irregular arcs.

Scale insects

Scale insects (superfamily Coccoidea) have shield-like exoskeletons (strong and rigid outer skeleton). Scale insects are plant parasites that feed on sap from the host plant. They secrete a waxy coating on their exoskeleton to protect themselves from pesticides and predators.

"Algorithm That Detects Sepsis Cut Deaths by Nearly 20 Percent"
By Sophie Bushwick on August 1, 2022

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/algorithm-that-detects-sepsis-cut-deaths-by-nearly-20-percent/

Scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Bacteria amongst the red blood cells from the circulatory system.

When a strain of harmful bacteria gets into the bloodstream, the resulting infection is called bacterial sepsis, or bacteraemia (commonly known as blood poisoning). Multiplication of the harmful bacteria in the blood stream can cause death. When there is a high amount of toxins produced by bacteria in the blood, a septic shock may occur. Septic shock is a highly dangerous condition in which body tissues are damaged. This kind of infection can be serious, but it can usually be successfully treated with antibiotics, if caught early.

Telomeres

Computer artwork of an X and a Y chromosome. The end regions mark out the telomeres. Telomeres consist of short repeated sequences of DNA and proteins, and are looped. The loop structure prevents the end of the chromosome being eroded by enzymes present in the cell nucleus and prevents enzymes from joining two chromosomes together. Telomeres play an important role in cellular aging. As cells replicate and age the telomere steadily shrinks. When the telomere reaches a certain length the cell stops dividing and dies.
