About this listen
Today, Julia B, a student at Detroit Country Day School, dives into the fascinating world of vaults, a mysterious cellular organelle that has scientists scratching their heads. Julia shares her extensive research journey that spans topics from Alzheimer's genetics to water quality. She highlights the accidental discovery of vaults back in 1986, which are intriguing due to their simple structure and the puzzling absence in certain organisms. Despite their simplicity, the function of vaults remain unclear, yet they show promise in medicine, particularly in cancer therapy and gene therapy. Julia discusses how vaults could revolutionize treatment by acting as nanocontainers for delivering therapeutic proteins and DNA, potentially leading to more effective and comfortable healthcare solutions.
