Projects that engage undergraduate students in content-based courses, such as organic chemistry, must relate to the material and provide useful tools for the divergent needs of the students. There are few examples of these types of projects in the literature. Herein, we describe two projects, the reaction notebook and the end-of-semester synthesis activity. Each project is designed to stimulate student ownership of the material and leads to engagement with the content of the course.
Endothelial Cell Cortactin Coordinates Icam-1 Clustering And Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling During Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Adhesion And Transmigration, Jennifer Kowalski
Endothelial Cell Cortactin Coordinates Icam-1 Clustering And Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling During Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Adhesion And Transmigration, Jennifer Kowalski

Endothelial cell ICAM-1 interacts with leukocyte beta2 integrins to mediate adhesion and transmit outside-in signals that facilitate leukocyte transmigration. ICAM-1 redistribution and clustering appear necessary for leukocyte transmigration, but the mechanisms controlling ICAM-1 redistribution and clustering have not been identified. We recently reported that Src kinase phosphorylation of endothelial cortactin regulates polymorphonuclear cell (PMN) transmigration. In this study, we tested the hypotheses that the Src family kinase-cortactin pathway mediates association of ICAM-1 with the actin cytoskeleton and that this association is required for ICAM-1 clustering and leukocyte transmigration. Cross-linking ICAM-1 induced cytoskeletal remodeling and a decrease in ICAM-1 lateral mobility, …
