Article Abstract
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields are often stereotyped as spaces in which personal identity is subsumed in the pursuit of a single-minded focus on objective scientific truths, and correspondingly rigid expectations of gender and sexuality are widespread. This paper describes findings from a grounded theory inquiry of how queer individuals working in STEM fields develop and navigate personal and professional identities. Through our analysis, we identified three distinct but related processes of a queer gender and/or sexual identity, an identity as a STEM professional, and identities at work. We found that heteronormative assumptions frequently silence conversations about gender and sexuality in STEM workplaces and result in complicated negotiations of self for queer professionals. This analysis of the personal accounts of queer students, faculty, and staff in STEM reveals unique processes of identity negotiation and elucidates how different social positioning creates challenges and opportunities for inclusivity.

The emergence of organoid models has significantly bridged the gap between traditional cell cultures/animal models and authentic human disease states, particularly for genetic disorders, where their inherent genetic fidelity enables more biologically relevant research directions and enhances translational validity. This review systematically analyzes established organoid models of genetic diseases across organs (e.g.

The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), a globally destructive pest, has Brassicaceae as its long-term co-evolved host and can also utilize Fabaceae as an alternative field host. The primary differential factor between these plant families is glucosinolates (GLs). Conventional transcriptome data revealed high midgut expression of glucosinolate sulfatases (GSSs) in response to glucosinolates.

The lifelong addition of stem-cell-derived neurons into distinct areas of the mammalian brain, such as the olfactory bulb and hippocampal dentate gyrus, provides structural and functional plasticity to neural circuits. To understand the dynamic processes underlying adult neurogenesis, from dividing stem/progenitor cells to integrating neurons, and to probe how new neurons shape brain function, intravital imaging turned out to be a powerful tool. Here, we review recent advances in the field of adult neurogenesis achieved by using in vivo imaging approaches in mice and discuss future directions of imaging-based experiments that will further our understanding of adult neurogenesis.
