تَدْرُسُ زَهْرَاءُ الرَّيِّسُ، وَهِيَ بَاحِثَةٌ سُورِيَّةٌ فِي جَامِعَةِ نْيُويُورْك أَبُوظَبِي، كَيْفَ تَتَغَيَّرُ الخَلَايَا عِنْدَمَا تَتَعَرَّضُ لِلضَّغْطِ.
تَفْحَصُ الرَّيِّسُ خَلَايَا جِذْعِيَّةً وَتَدْرُسُ دَوْرَ بَرُوتِينٍ فِي نَوَاتِهَا. وَتُسَاعِدُ هَذِهِ الأَبْحَاثُ العُلَمَاءَ عَلَى فَهْمِ كَيْفَ تَشْعُرُ الخَلَايَا بِالضَّغْطِ وَتَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ.
وَقَدْ تَتَغَيَّرُ الخَلَايَا السَّرَطَانِيَّةُ وَالسَّلِيمَةُ بِطُرُقٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ عِنْدَ تَعَرُّضِهَا لِلضَّغْطِ. وَقَدْ يُسَاعِدُ فَهْمُ هَذَا الاِخْتِلَافِ فِي المُسْتَقْبَلِ عَلَى كَشْفِ بَعْضِ أَنْوَاعِ السَّرَطَانِ مُبَكِّرًا.
وَلَا تَطُوِّرُ الرَّيِّسُ دَوَاءً الآنَ؛ فَبَحْثُهَا يُحَاوِلُ أَوَّلًا فَهْمَ طَرِيقَةِ عَمَلِ الخَلَايَا. وَيَعْرِضُ مَقَالٌ نُشِرَ فِي الثَّالِثَ عَشَرَ مِنْ أُكْتُوبَرَ فِي الجَامِعَةِ عَمَلَهَا وَمَسَارَهَا فِي البَحْثِ.

Syrian Researcher Studies How Cells Change Under Pressure
Zahraa Alraies, a Syrian researcher at New York University Abu Dhabi, studies how cells change when they are under pressure.
Alraies examines stem cells and studies the role of a protein in their nuclei. This research helps scientists understand how cells sense pressure and respond to it.
Cancerous and healthy cells may change in different ways when exposed to pressure. Understanding this difference may in the future help detect some cancers early.
Alraies is not developing a medicine now; her research first seeks to understand how cells work. An article published by the university on October 13 profiles her work and research path.
