Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is defined as a group of diseases that involve heart and blood vessels which including coronary heart disease‚ cerebrovascular disease‚ peripheral arterial disease‚ rheumatic heart disease‚ congenital heart disease‚ deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. Recently‚ CVDs is the most famous non-communicable disease (NCD) as it is the top one mortality cause which took 31% out of all the death causes in whole world. CVDs is also the main cause of death in Malaysia

Nano INTRODUCTION The term "nanotechnology" has evolved over the years via terminology drift to mean "anything smaller than micro technology such as nano powders‚ and other things that are nanoscale in size‚ but not referring to mechanisms that have been purposefully built from nanoscale components. This evolved version of the term is more properly labeled "nanoscale bulk technology‚" while the original meaning is now more properly labeled "molecular nanotechnology" (MNT)‚ or "nanoscale engineering

Antisense refers to opposing the normal order (“sense”) of the code in DNA. The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in genes directs cells to assemble the proteins which comprise living creatures. The order of bases in DNA corresponds to the ordering of amino acids to form the proteins. To produce protein

The Effect of Temperature on Beet Cell Membranes and Concentration of Betacyanin Released Introduction Membranes are an important feature of plant cells and they act as a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from the external environment (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Each membrane layer is composed of a phospholipid layer‚ which is semi-permeable and possesses the ability to control the movement of diffusion. Within the centre of a cell‚ the vacuole that is responsible for storage and

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN NANOPARTICLES. INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary scientific field undergoing explosive development. Nanometer-sized particles offer novel structural‚ optical and electronic properties that are not attainable with individual molecules or bulk solids. Advances in nanomedicine can be made by engineering nanoparticles that are capable of targeted delivery of drugs. This leads toward the concept and possibility of personalized medicine for the potential

Compare and contrast tumour suppressor genes and proto-oncogenes. Discuss an example of how recent advances in our understanding of these genes have led to the development of a novel therapy that is being used in the treatment of human cancer. Cancer known in medicine as a malignant neoplasm is one of the biggest killers worldwide. In 2007‚ cancer caused roughly 13% (7.9 million) of the planet’s deaths (Jemal‚ 2011). This will more greatly affect an aging society such as ours in years to come‚ and
