Late jump on the #artvsartist bandwagon with some of my fav pieces from 2021! ✨ #artvsartist2021 #sciart #ArtAdventCalendar
Hello #PortfolioDay! I'm a molecular biologist and I love telling science stories with bright colours and unconventional visuals! Check out more of my work at munafomarzia.com or DM/email me at info.munafomarzia@gmail.com! #scicomm #sciart #scienceart #ScienceTwitter
#inktober2020 Day30 (#ominous) is an evil Transposon!🐉 #Transposons are mobile genomic parasites that can move across the genome and cause damage. In Drosophila, Panoramix is critical to keep transposons under control and thus protect the genome from harm🧙♂️✨ #scicomm #sciart
#inktober2020 Day 20: #coral As simple as that, I love Cnidarians and I considered rsearching them during my undergrad (and travelling the world to find cool species). Then I discovered molecular biology... 🧬 #inkthescience #scicomm #sciart
#inktober2020 Day17: Cytokine #Storm ⛈️ An uncontrolled release of pro-inflammatory agents (cytokines) by the immune system. Cytokines are part of a normal immune response, but their sudden release in large quantities can have adverse effects⚡️ #inkthescience #sciart #scicomm
#inktober2020 Day16 #Rocket is nervous impulse conduction! Each nervous impulse travels incredibly fast along axons, thanks to the insulating myelin sheath. The impulse propagates in bursts from one myelin sheath gap to the next 🚀 #inkthescience #scicomm #sciart #neurotwitter
#inktober2020 Day15 #Outpost Toll-Like receptors, the brave sentinels of our immune system! They act in the first line of defence against bacteria and viruses, triggering an inflammatory fight against intruders #inkthescience #scicomm #sciart #Immunology inspired by PDB 3fxi
#inktober2020 Day 12 (#slippery) is #Epigenetic reprogramming! A Primordial Germ Cell (PGC) rushing down DNA de-methylation during development ❄️ Reprogramming of epigenetic marks is a key step in establishing the identity of future germ cells. #inkthescience #scicomm #sciart
#inktober2020 Day 10 The latest issue of @BlueSci is out! We talk about #PublicHealth (good fit for today's prompt #hope) and I've had the pleasure to illustrate the article about #antibiotic resistance 🦠🧬 issuu.com/bluesci/docs/b… #scicomm #sciart #inkthescience
#inktober2020 Day 9 (#throw) is a Cytotoxic T cell "throwing" lytic granules towards the target! T cells are the "serial killer" cells in our body that recognise and destroy virally infected and cancer cells #inkthescience #scicomm #sciart #scienceart
#inktober2020 Day 6 (#rodent) is a lab mouse! Coming from a drosophila and cell culture background, I have only entered the mouse world a month ago. The learning curve of #development is steep but also so exciting! #inkthescience #scicomm #sciart
#inktober2020 day5 (#blade) is the ribonuclease Dicer! Dicer is key for the production of small RNAs and owes the name to its ability to produce uniformly sized RNAs of ~22 nucleotides. Dicer is a highly conserved protein found in almost all eukaryotes - a very ancient "blade"!
#inktober2020 Day 2: #Bulky Today's pick is a (bulky) protein inhibitor that blocks the entrance to the enzyme active site! This is called competitive inhibition: substrate and inhibitor "compete" for the same binding site on the enzyme. #inkthescience #scicomm #sciart
#inktober2020 Day 2 (#wisp) is the mitotic spindle! A (seemingly) fine thread that pulls chromatids apart during cell division. Mitosis is probably among the most fundamental processes of life - you couldn't build an organism if cells couldn't divide! 🧬 #inkthescience
#inktober2020 Day1: #fish Today's pick is the Medaka Fish! Long known and studied in Japan, Medaka has recently been (re)discovered as a model organism for #genetics and #development. @emblebi generated a large panel of inbred lines for genomic and population genetics studies
Today's Sunday sketch is my first ever #Inktober2019 drawing - The next step will be trying to follow the official prompts!
