SPOTLIGHT: Plants have unique aspects of the spatiotemporal regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM) connectivity in response to the environmental stress.
April 2019, written by Adrian Li & Dr. Eunkyoung Lee BIF equipment used : Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope, PE Spinning disk confocal microscope Plants sense and respond to changes of environmental conditions, such as drought, extreme temperatures, and salinity. At the intercellular level, highlycoordinated stress response occurs among various organelles. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a […]
SPOTLIGHT: Structure of carbonaceous aggregate size may be affected by the method of combustion.
February 2019, written by Adrian Li & Dr. Alberto Baldelli BIF equipment used : Hitachi H7600, FEI Tecnai G2, ThermoFisher Inspect 3D, AMIRA Carbonaceous aggregates are produced from a combustion process. Their nano-range dimension and their chemical structure make these carbonaceous aggregate harmful to the human health and the environment. Prior studies suggest that nano-sized […]
