HeLa Results

We have now completed our independent investigations on the impacts of different materials on HeLa cell viability and morphology. Rather than writing an entire manuscript, your mission will be to compose the Results and Discussion based on the experiment performed. You will be working individually to prepare a single completed Results & Discussion to be turned in on Canvas. In this handout, we will go over the expectations, layout, and rubric for the Results and Discussion section.

From your experiment on HeLa cells, you should have acquired as a group the following data:

• IF images of cells treated with anti-tubulin antibodies, phalloidin, and DAPI
• Nuclear morphology data obtained through analyzing images of DAPI-stained nuclei

In your Results section, you are expected to prepare both a written Results section AND 2 figures complete with figure legends. Note that these figures may have already been prepared in lab. In the written Results section, you should be describing the data displayed in the 2 figures. In addition to assembling Figure 2, you also need to perform a t-test to compare the results found from our DAPI experiment between treatments.

Prepare a written Results section describing the data displayed in the figures. Include in-text references to each figure.
