Contents Oncogene An oncogene is a kind of abnormal gene that predisposes cells to develop into cancers. Unlike normal genes‚ which can be turned off after being turned on‚ oncogenes are altered in a way that keeps them stuck in a state of constant activity. That uninterrupted action helps drive the uncontrolled growth that underlies tumors. Oncogenes can be turned on by inherited changes - ones that are passed down from parent to child - or by cancer-promoting agents that

Chapter 12 Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases are regulatory proteins that assist in the cell cycle. Particular protein kinases give the go-ahead signals at G1 and G2 checkpoints. These protein kinases are present at a constant concentration in the cell but are inactive unless in the presence of cyclin‚ these are cyclin dependent kinases. The activity of a cdk rises and falls with the concentration of cyclin. Cyclin levels rise during the S and G2 phases then fall abruptly in the M phase

movement of cells by chemical gradients created by chemoattractant proteins‚ such as chemokines and bacterial products produced at the site of inflammation‚ probably emerged early in eukaryotic evolution {Kay‚ 2008 #3289}. Neutrophils are highly mobile cells that readily undergo chemotaxis. Neutrophils can detect as low as 1/100th of a chemokine gradient. They polarize their migration towards bacterial peptides over a pool of other chemical gradients to reach sites of inflammation. Neutrophils adopt

The Effect of Srb-16 and F35B1.3 RNAi Gene Treatment on Chemosensation in Caenorhabditis elegans through Observation of Chemotaxis. Abstract: The study of sensory systems in humans is a vital area of study to further pursue our knowledge of the mechanisms occurring in the nervous systems. However due to the complications surrounding human testing‚ model organisms such as C. elegans worms can be utilized as a comparison to create paradigms relevant to human sensory systems as the genetic basis

TOPIC 1- INTRO TO CELL BIOLOGY Cell Theory: 1) all organisms consist of one or more cells 2) the cell is the basic unit of structure for all organisms (Theodor Schwann) 3) all cells arise only from pre-existing cells (i.e cell= basic unit of reproduction) (Rudolf Virchow) Cells have enormous diversity (function and size)‚ but have unity (similar basic chemistry i.e DNA‚ ATP‚ metabolism‚ etc.) ** units: 1µm= 10-6m‚ 1nm= 10-9 m (typical prokaryote is 1-5µm‚ typical eukaryote is 10-30 µm)

Bacterial Meningitis is a horribly life shacking disease. Bacterial Meningitis can be a very destructive disease it can leave people with horrible and lasting aftermath if survived but if not it could destroy the brain leaving it black and rotting. Bacterial Meningitis has many symptoms‚ ways of spreading‚ treatments and prevention for this horrible disease‚ and it’s very interesting history and how things about it changed. The History of Bacterial meningitis is full of breakthroughs and outbreaks

The results closely resemblance the CD spectroscopy findings of its homologous protein in human that shows partial binding and ~10 % helix in mammalian-like membranes as compared to bacterial-like membranes [38]. The number of intermolecular H-bonds were the highest for the helical cationic residues bonding with the lipid phosphate and carboxyl atoms in the TLM and LLM systems‚ respectively (Table 2).

Bacterial Vaginosis is a bacterial infection. This STD occurs when there is an overgrowth of bacteria that is normally present in the vagina. BV can only be spread through female sexual interactions. Males are not able to get this STD because they do not have the same bacteria as women. There are rarely ever any extremely noticeable symptoms. Some symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include; abnormal vaginal discharge‚ vaginal itching‚ odor‚ and/or burning when urinating. Since the symptoms can be unnoticeable
