Scientists noticed the crystal jelly or Aequorea Victoria would glow green when agitated and glows green under a UV light and that led to advancements in science. After researching the jellyfish and trying to find out the reason it glowed then Osamu Shimomura discovered GFP. They isolated the green fluorescent protein or GFP and cloned it for scientific use. GFP wasn’t perfect and lost its color all the time and wasn’t ideal for more. Researcher Roger Tsien developed GFP variants that came in many different colors and were brighter than original GFP. These allowed researchers to observe more than one thing at a time, the world's leading hospitals use GFP to study all different sicknesses, breast cancer tumor tracking or HIV and even Alzheimer's This took decades of work and took much funding.

Jelly n.40 - ☂️ GOTASE ☂️

● It is not poisonous but the skewer that has on the top is nailed as an injection.

● Do not try to stretch its stick, it is something very intimate that only a lucky few can do.

● The inventor of the umbrella said he was not inspired by it. Everyone knows he lies.

● It loses its trunk, it falls to the deepest part of the sea. New Gotase born from that trunk

“Come on, try it out!” Jack insisted, a grin remaining on his face as he offered to step aside for the woman next to him, all so she could take his place in front of the game. What-a-mole was a silly game, but one from his childhood, so coming across it at the carnival was thrilling. So he was acting exactly like that, like an actual child, all giddy and so unlike what he looked like. “I’ll buy you a round of drinks if you can beat my high score.”

The jellyfish exhibit was also extensive, and I was glad to see so many rare types of jellyfish that are not often seen in my area.

Heyyyy I've been getting sad way too easily for the last few days so I'd like to call in a favor from my one of my favorite communities

Can yall show me pics of your commanders (or other prominent GW2 OCs) with their romantic partners? I want cute stuff to lift my mood 🥺

I'll start: here's Commander Vesper and her husband, Altair. Show me yours!

I'm going to try and share one of my art prints or embroidery pieces a day for the month of January. For Day 2, Here is Aequorea victoria, also known as the "Crystal Jellyfish".

Aequorea victoria was at the center of research that revolutionized medical science and won a Nobel Prize. The jellyfish produces a protein called GFP that allows it to bioluminescence, and allows researchers to make the invisible visible by being a bright biomarker that can be incorporated into various methods.

If you'd like this print, you can find it in my shop!

Aequorea by Vincent Callebaut

[quotesfrommyreading]

In 1955, Shimomura joined the lab of Yoshimasa Hirata at Nagoya University, where he was tasked with extracting the organic compound luciferin from ostracods and determining its precise molecular structure. Today, scientists know that in many bioluminescent organisms, an enzyme named luciferase catalyzes a chemical reaction between luciferin and oxygen, which produces light. But back then, “we didn’t fully understand how it happened,” Shimomura says. “It was a mystery.” After 10 months of labor in the lab, Shimomura became the first person to crystallize luciferin, an essential step in studying its structure.

In the 1960s, he continued his research at Princeton University, where he also started to investigate the luminous jellyfish Aequorea victoria. Shimomura and his colleagues collected numerous A. victoria specimens and strained them like cider apples to obtain a small amount of pure glowing “squeezate.” Within the shining liquid they discovered a protein they named aequorin, which releases blue light when it reacts with calcium, even in the absence of oxygen. Another protein in the jellyfish, green fluorescent protein (GFP), sometimes absorbs that blue light, and releases green light in response.

By 1978, after collecting nearly a million jellyfish, Shimomura had thoroughly elucidated the structure of aequorin and the nature of A. victoria’s unique light-generating reactions. Both aequorin and GFP—as well as the gene coding for the latter—became indispensable tools in biology and medicine. Scientists could now tag and observe the intricate dances of previously invisible genes and proteins in living cells. In 2008, along with Martin Chalfie of Columbia University and Roger Tsien of the University of California, San Diego, Shimomura received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on GFP.

Jelly n.13 - 🛋️ BIAJU 🛋️

● Looks like it is suffering but it is not. Don't worry about it, it is a really happy Jelly.

● It is not locked in a cage, it is part of its body. It is free to go wherever it wants actually.

● Product engineers all over the world have taken inspiration in Bijau to design lamps.

𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐌𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆. 𝐓𝐑𝐘, 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐌𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆. Imagination bridges the gap between reality and fiction. The Raconteur is a story-teller first a foremost, and a person attached to the hip of acceptance next. They find comfort in the arms-length of web-weaving and harmless lies—but when these lies snowball and suddenly become the foundation of all that they are and will be, how might they reconcile? How might they allow themselves sincerity in the wake of their most precious relationships, when all is built off these harmless fibs? And where does footstep fall, while toeing the line of harmless and harmful? When? How? They are a storyteller in the night, both to others and themselves. This muse is established and is available for new plots.

WANTED CONNECTION!

CHARACTER INFORMATION

Muse Name + url: Aequorea Williams ( @ghosthxnter )

Type of Connection: Platonic / Somewhat romantic if you'd like

Specific Role of Connection: Subway Stranger

CONNECTION INFORMATION

Name: UTP

Age + Gender: UTP + female presenting

Suggested Faceclaims: Isadora Goreshter, Zion Moreno, Aja Naomi King, Laura Harrier, Diane Guerrero, Greta Onieogou, UTP

Description:  Aeq's morning routine consists of getting up and going out for some self-care coffee and donuts, and that requires taking the subway down to their favorite cafe. This is someone that's always on the same subway ride as them in the morning, and is often recording themselves break dancing and doing little gymnastic moves on the poles. Most people find this person annoying and roll their eyes but Aequorea thinks they're the bees knees and loves the morning show. She's been trying to work up the courage to go say hello and compliment them, but she gets nervous, which is so strange because she's such a social butterfly. Something about this subway stranger makes her fawn. Whether that's in romantic or aesthetic attraction is up to you!
