NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- An emerging field explores how groups of molecules condense together inside cells, the way oil droplets assemble and separate from water in a vinaigrette.

Key Points: 
  • In human cells, "liquid-liquid phase separation" occurs because similar, large molecules glom together into dense droplets separated from the more diluted parts of the fluid cell interior.
  • Researchers compare condensates to microprocessors, computers built into circuits, because both recognize and calculate responses based on incoming information.
  • Kinases are protein switches that influence cellular processes by phosphorylating attaching a molecule called a phosphate group to target molecules.
  • Finally, the researchers also hope that their findings advance the design of other cellular computers that react to physical forces.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Saint Joseph's University will expand its commitment to women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) through a $2.6 million investment from the John P. and Anne Welsh McNulty Foundation. The University and the Foundation have worked to advance women's representation and leadership in STEM for over a decade through the John P. McNulty Scholars program.

Key Points: 
  • This gift greatly expands the John P. McNulty Program for Leadership in Science and Mathematics, and marks a milestone contribution to SOAR: The Campaign for Saint Joseph's University.
  • The University and the Foundation have worked to advance women's representation and leadership in STEM for over a decade through the John P. McNulty Scholars program.
  • "It's not enough that women enter STEM fields, or even stay in STEM fields; women need to lead in STEM," says Anne Welsh McNulty H '19, co-founder and president of the McNulty Foundation.
  • "The McNulty Foundation's latest investment will scale the McNulty Program for Leadership at Saint Joseph's University," says Cheryl McConnell, PhD, interim university president.
