Abstract Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects many people. It involves little to no production of insulin in the pancreas, which leads to no glucose being absorbed into cells. This can cause many complications, so the management of Type 1 diabetes is...
Abstract Under constant climatic change and the existing environment, plants are exposed to several adverse growth factors such as extreme temperatures, high salt content, heavy metals, use of pesticides, drought, and the presence of harmful pathogens. Prolonged exposure to such adverse conditions results in phytotoxicity...
Abstract Plants face various adverse growth factors such as extreme temperatures, high salt content, heavy metals, use of pesticides, drought, and harmful pathogens. These factors result in phytotoxicity and overall retardation of growth and development, leading to yield loss. Plants produce reactive oxygen species (ROS)...
There was a time when man used to pass things we couldn’t see. Lots of things are invisible, but that does not suggest they’re not there. Yet Scientists knew it from centuries that the insides of all living beings are made up of tiny cells....

Introduction Plant breeding has been of immense importance to human beings throughout history. The present human population could not have been fed without the many fold increases in crop yields that plant breeding has provided. Over the last decade, genetically modified crops have become accepted...
The deadliest executioner in mankind’s set of experiences probably won’t be firearms or bombs, cancer or fender benders. It’s a bothersome bug that the greater part of us don’t mull over: the mosquito. Mosquitoes are probably the most dangerous animals on earth. They convey infections,...
“The work of epidemiology is related to unanswered questions, but also to unquestioned answers” – Patricia Buffler. The science that reviews when and where infections happen and the manner in which they’re communicated in public is named Epidemiology. The study of disease transmission started inside...
‘Every society has made pottery, but that does not mean we have a pottery making gene’ Kohn.A. (1988) The same could also be said about crime; are we born criminals? or is it something that we learn? The effect that biology has on crime has...

Primarily, it is thought to have the spread of this novel virus through respiratory droplets; Coughing, Sneezing, touching respiratory...
Pancreatic cancer is the king of cancer, and its low survival rate has not changed significantly in the past 40 years. In Europe, pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death, and research predicts it will be the second leading cause of cancer...

This essay will discuss the movement of medical care from the ‘patient knows best’ approach to the ‘Doctor knows best’ approach. Advances in dissection, laboratory medicine, germ theory, and medical implements, combined with contributions from many individuals, lead to this shift in healthcare away from...
Respiration is the chemical process by which organic compounds release energy. The compounds change into different ones by exergonic reactions. There are two types of respiration: Aerobic, needs oxygen and releases a lot of energy; Anaerobic, which does not require oxygen but releases much less...
Here is an explanation of how the different types of cell respiration, aerobic and anaerobic, can be used by skeletal muscles during exercise. Moreover, after this I’ll discuss how multiple body systems normally work together for oxygen to enter the body and reach cells. To...
