The research reveals how dietary tryptophan – an amino acid – can be broken down by gut bacteria into small molecules called metabolites that ultimately keep E. coli from colonizing in the gut.
A cross-college collaboration is opening new doors in the study of male infertility by breaking down a key step in sperm formation. Isolating the intricacies of meiotic sex chromosome inactivation, will now enable researchers to identify what happens when that key step fails.
The Hudson River Eel Project – which has netted, counted and released roughly 2 million juvenile eels since its inception in 2008 – owes its success to a cadre of nearly 1,000 high school, college and adult citizen scientists donating time and effort each spring along the Hudson River.
