Even old classics now offer girls' versions, such as an all-pink Monopoly game in which the houses and hotels have been replaced by boutiques and malls, and a "Designer's Edition" Scrabble that has letters on the front of the box spelling out fashion...
Molecular and Cellular Biology concentrator Amy Guan ’12 is taking the research world by storm, performing cutting-edge research with super-charged fluorescent proteins in the lab of MCB Professor David...
...team she works with, is that proteins that are not water-soluble tend to clump together, thereby diminishing the ability of each protein to function. When the residues of these GFP proteins are positively charged, however, they have the ability to penetrate cell walls. Additionally, these super-charged proteins demonstrated the ability to carry nucleic, and even genomic, material into cells if the material was negatively charged...
