Polymer chemists and materials scientists have achieved some notable advances that mimic Nature, but one of the most common and practical features of cells has so far been out of reach – intracellular compartmentalization. It refers to the way many different organelles, vesicles and other “water-in-water” soft structures in the cell, contain and isolate chemical reactions and processes. It also lets reaction products be selectively shared with end users inside the cell.
Facilities and Campus Services (FCS), the UMass Amherst Community Campaign (UMACC) and the Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity (PV Habitat) have teamed up to help families in need in the local community. UMass faculty and staff, as well as community members, are eligible to contribute to this PV Habitat campaign.
An analysis of policy research on nearly 50 years of school vaccine mandates has found that while vaccine requirements are commonly considered to have made a major, if not essential, contribution to vaccine coverage in the United States, the causal relations between mandates and population vaccination remains unclear.
