 In 2005, students at Spelman College established The Spelbots Robotics Team where they could engage in departmental activities, innovative projects and scholarly endeavors across campus and throughout the community. The goal is to encourage students and young women of African descent to explore ro...

Hereditary Nonpolypopsis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) is an inherited autosomal dominant genetic condition with an increased risk for colon or endometrial cancer. HNPCC is caused by a mutation in one of the genes associated with Mismatch Repair mechanism (MMR), such as MSH2. MMR repairs the single poin...

Hereditary NonPolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) is an inherited condition, resulting from a mutation in the MSH2 gene, which encodes a protein essential for the DNA mismatch repair mechanism (MMR). Defects in MMR cause higher mutation rates leading to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. ...

How does the weather change impact the crime rates?   We hypothesize that higher temperatures does have an influence and impact on crime rate. https://blog.weatherops.com/how-does-the-weather-affect-crime-rates Staticially, warmer weather typically does have a connection to the increase in crime r...

Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch Syndrome is a genetic condition that is known to increase the risk of colon cancer. HNPCC accounts for about 5% of all colon cancer cases. HNPCC is caused by mutations in DNA mismatch-repair (MMR) genes such as MSH2. The MSH2 protein forms a...

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an inherited dominant autosomal disorder caused by defects in the mismatch repair (MMR) mechanism that increases the risk of cancer in the colon and endometrium. The MSH2 gene is part of MMR, and when defective, can terminate its function, leadin...

  With the increased growth of cities, more natural habitats are becoming disturbed or fragmented, which leads to an influx of wildlife previously found in rural habitats into urban areas. To successfully inhabit these areas, some of these animals have to adapt or change their behavior. Some change...
