Mitotic spindles in pam-1 mutant embryos of Caenorhabditis elegans
No full textCaenorhabditis elegans is a transparent nematode ideal for studying early embryonic mechanisms such as mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is an important process involving the division of cells, and the spindles in mitosis are necessary for the separation of chromosomes. The centrosomes of mitosis are important for the organization of these spindles. When these processes go wrong, additional problems like cancer may arise. The pam-1 gene encodes for a puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase (PAM-1) in C. elegans. In mitosis, pam-1 mutant embryos are more likely to divide symmetrically rather than asymmetrically. PAM-1 is required to prevent premature centrosome movements and to properly attach the chromosomes to the mitotic spindle. Furthermore, the absence of PAM-1 triggers the spindle assembly checkpoint. The proteins β-tubulin, SPD-2, and SPD-5 are all important proteins for the spindle structures of C. elegans. I will be looking at the mitotic spindles through these proteins marked with GFP and RFP and trying to understand how the pam-1 mutation affects spindle assembly, more specifically relating to the timing of spindle assembly and the overall structure of the centrosome. To study this, wildtype and pam-1 mutant C. elegans spindle structures will be looked at during the first mitosis using the confocal microscope. So far, it has been seen that the pam-1 mutant embryos have centrosomes that move prematurely and larger sperm asters than the wildtype C. elegans. This research is done with hopes of discovering more about the mitotic spindles in the pam-1 mutant embryos of C. elegans
Madeline Hepburn is Missing: A Creative Look into Stylistic Writing
No full textAfter the disappearance of a young woman named Madeline Hepburn, Martin Wright is brought in for questioning. Wright is a stranger with a checkered past in a new town and an inclination for conversation. The story is formatted as a monologue as he tries to beat a polygraph test and get the detective off his trail. Using the beep of the polygraph test to interrupt Wright\u27s monologue, Madeline Hepburn is Missing is a short story that experiments with style to convey the narrative.
A unique writing style is at the core of every writer. Their choice of diction, voice, and formatting shape an iconic identity for the page. In the fall of 2023, Madeline Hepburn is Missing was a short story submitted for a class. The assignment was to write a story under 600 words with the caveat that the story must be interrupted or diverted. Now in the summer of 2024, the piece has been extended into a 9,000-word story. Madeline Hepburn is Missing functions as a creative diagram of how style is maintained through the writing process. Additionally, the story highlights the process of accepting what must change for the story to continue
