ALT Cartoon characterizations of "PRO-" and "ANTI-" inflammatory cytokines surround an inflammation meter and pump. The anti-inflammatory cytokine looks in worry and whispers "slow down..." as the pro-inflammatory cytokine shouts "YIPPEE" in glee and pumps the overfilled inflammation meter further. In the background, a faint stylized gut has drips leaking from various areas.

ALT A person colored pink looks at the phone in their hand in disgust. In a text bubble, it shows a man floating in the air and shining, blinding a nearby person. The text within the bubble reads "The skin of a killer." Bubble letters with the words "you hate to see it" are on the bottom right of the image.

ALT The title at the top reads "What we hate-watch." Below are two movie posters. The one on the right shows a couple embracing, with their heads replaced by a candy and lime. The movie title reads "Sweet then Sour." Below is a caption, reading "1) Content we used to like, but now hate. The poster on the left shows an eye looking down. The title reads "Hate at first sight." The caption below the poster reads "2) Content we hate right from the start."

ALT A detective wearing a black coat and hat, reminiscent of classic film noir attire, stands in front of an info board with his back turned to us. The board is positioned on a brick wall and stuck haphazardly onto it are a bunch of sticky notes and cutouts, with some connected together by red threads. They contain footnotes and information on the subject of rare diseases. An offscreen source of light shines down on the board and on the detective.

ALT A test tube partially filled with blood, a DNA strand, and a blue stethoscope are seen from left to right against a cyan background. Between the blood sample and the DNA strand, and the DNA strand and the stethoscope are green arrows, both pointing to the right. The blood sample bottle has the word "SAMPLE" written on a piece of paper wrapped around it. "Blood sample", "Gene testing" and "Clinical evaluation" are written in text boxes under the blood sample, DNA strand and stethoscope respectively. At the top of the illustration is the text: "Diagnosing rare diseases can be costly:"

ALT Two jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) against a dark background, each with red inner organs surrounded by a translucent-blue body and long spindle-like tentacles. The middle jellyfish has its’ tentacles joined together into the shape of DNA which spans diagonally across the page. The title “Do Jellyfish Hold the Secret to Aging?” is in the top right corner.

ALT The lifecycle of T. dohrnii is depicted with trans-differentiation in the middle. The style is sketchy with the figures in light blue against a dark background and trans-differentiation in red. The cycle begins with sperm + eggs --> larvae (round with spikes) --> polyps (embedded into the ground, longer with spikes) --> budding colony (larger polyp with round buds protruding from branches) --> juvenile medusa (small jellyfish without tentacles) --> mature medusa (jellyfish with tentacles). From the mature medusa, the cycle reverts back to a polyp: the jellyfish retracts its tentacles and becomes a smaller round shape before returning to a polyp. The step is associated with a chromosome with shaded-in telomeres with a question mark next to it.

ALT A colourful digital painting of a salamander sitting sadly in a hospital waiting room with a bandaged arm. A speech bubble coming from off-screen reads "Next patient, please!"

ALT An illustrated diagram showing a pink axolotl limb at three stages of regeneration. The labels above the three stages read "Wound closure: Skin cells and blood clotting protein form regenerative skin"; "Blastema formation: Enzymes create a structure for special progenitor cells to travel, divide, and form blastema"; and "Cell differentiation: Blastema cells specialize into muscle, bone, nerves, and skin".

ALT A map with pins to indicate locations of stem cell clinics. In the foreground and background are three screw-cap micro tubes with stem cell samples inside them. A small, white plane flies across the map with a dotted line indicating its path. Text in the bottom right corner reads “Chasing Hope Over Science.”

ALT Title reads “Different Types of Stem Cells.” Text reading “Stem cell; can divide into identical copies (self renewal) and specialized cell types (differentiation)” accompanies an illustration of a stem cell; to its left is an arrow pointing to another stem cell to represent self renewal, and to its right is an arrow pointing to a neuron to represent differentiation into a specialized cell. On the left, text reading “Pluripotent Stem Cell; derived from embryo or created through reprogramming existing cells; differentiate into any cell type” accompanies an illustration depicting how pluripotent stem cells come from embryonic and reprogrammed cells; arrows radiating from the stem cell point to 3 different specialized cells. On the right, text reading “Adult Stem Cell; present in different areas of human body; multipotent, differentiate into limited cell types” accompanies an illustration of a stem cell with arrows radiating from the stem cell pointing to 2 different specialized cells.

ALT Three neurons - blue, purple, and pink - with the purple one in the center being distorted and its dendrites surrounded by orange plaques are positioned in a zig-zag in front of a background with different shades of blue. Dark blue text reads “Mind Over Microbes,” where each word is positioned above each neuron’s axon. Neurons of varying sizes and colours are placed further in the background.

ALT An illustration of the small and large intestines are placed in front of a light blue background. Three speech bubbles, containing 2D ball and stick models of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate, are positioned in front of the intestines with dark blue text indicating each transmitter. Dark blue text in the bottom right corner reads “The gut microbiome plays a critical role in the production of these 3 major neurotransmitters.

ALT Two gloved hands holding a parchment paper and a magnifying glass. Egyptian hieroglyphs are magnified under the glass as well as a cancer ribbon. Set against a light pink background.

ALT A red crab displayed next to a microscopic picture of a tumour. There is a blue arrow pointing from the crab to the picture of the tumour to represent the similarity of the crab and the tumour. Two dark blue question marks are displayed next to the arrow.

ALT Solo astronaut floating in space with a black background speckled with pink, green, and blue colour with stars.

ALT Arrow points from a double-stranded helix strand to another splitting stranded helix strand getting hit with GCRs. One last arrow points to another double-stranded helix strand that has been mutated and some information of the helix has been deleted.
