Activation of STAT3 by PKM2
Molecular illustration of the mechanism of activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) molecules. When a dimeric form of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) enters the nucleus it activates the transcription of mitogen-activated protein kinase 5 (MEK5).

Life Cycle of the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus
This team project illustrates a serious fungal condition that has been devastating frog populations around the globe. The fungus can penetrate through its host's skin and develop underneath. The change in skin structure will eventually kill the host as it interferes with the absorption of electrolytes.
