The basic leucine zipper transcription factor C/EBPa, required for the in vivo transition of common myeloid progenitor-to-GM progenitor. Myelomonocyte cell-type features are educed by the ectopic expression of C/EBPa in primary bone marrow cells, lymphocytes or in fibroblasts, where C/EBPa function along with PU.1, as...

There are 4 major types of blood A, B, AB, and O. What blood you have depends on what antigen is on red cells and what antibody in the plasma; more on that later. Blood type is hereditary and which one you have, depends on...

A collection of cells performing a specific function is called tissue. Plant tissues can be grouped into plant tissue systems each performing specialized functions. A plant tissue system is defined as a functional unit, connecting all organs of a plant. Plant tissue system is also...

Abstract—Spinal motoneurons (MNs) play a crucial role in movement control. Decoding the firing activity of spinal MNs could help in real-life challenges, such as enhancing the control of myoelectric prostheses, and the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. In this paper, we propose a machine learning approach...

Diabetes is caused when the body’s immune system misinterprets the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, called islets, and destroys them. beta cells ( a type of is;et cells) which produce insulin in the pancreas are destroyed; without these cells the body is unable to produce...

Adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP) is a major energy currency of cells and is involved in multiple cellular processes. Monitoring the hydrolytic activity of ATP in cells would be beneficial to understand ATP consuming cellular processes and help in elucidating the mode of action and regulation of...

Bladder Cancer that is in an early stage of growth may not produce any noticeable signs or symptoms. The most common sign of BC is hematuria (bloody urine; urine that appears bright red or rusty) usually is painless and may appear only from time to...

HeLa is a cell type in an immortal cell line used in scientific research. It is the oldest and most commonly used human cell line. Its scientific name is Helacyton gartleri. It came from cervical cancer cells taken on February 8, 1951 from Henrietta lacks...

A noteworthy element that recognizes tissue culture research laboratories from most different sorts of laboratories is the necessity to keep up the replication of a biologic culture under sterile conditions(monoseptic), especially guaranteeing the nonexistence of microscopic organisms and growths. The facilities that are required along...

It is the cells in tissues that are responsible to mechanical forces. It is now well recognized that mechanical forces play a fundamental role in the regulation of cell functions, including gene induction, protein synthesis, cell proliferation, migration, death, and differentiation, which are essential to...

Nerve cells also are known as neurons transmit and receive electro nerve impulses. They can be found all over the body and are connected all over the body, but can mostly be found near around the Central Nervous System. They are connected to other neurons...

The microtubule cytoskeleton also participates in the maintenance of epithelial planar polarity by modulating mitotic spindle orientation. The organization of epithelial cells to form hollow organs with a single lumen entails that each cell divides symmetrically within the epithelial plane, so that both resulting daughter...

Liposomal Technology Basics Liposomes serve to administer nutrients straight inside the cells. Vitamins and minerals are condensed inside tiny lipid bubbles, named liposomes. Liposomes are bilayer/double-layer bubbles filled with liquid, and constituted using phospholipids. Over 5 decades ago, researchers first learnt that these bubbles could...

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.During the process of meiosis one cell divides two times to...

Becoming a scientist has always been a dream of mine from the day I was first introduced to the captivating concepts of science and medicine in particular. The mental ability to approach a problem with the right amalgam of logic and reasoning has supported me...

Many of studies propose that NF-kB is essential for the expression of inflammatory cytokines and tissue damaging enzymes in rheumatoid arthritis (Lawrence, 2009). Consistently, activation of NF-kB has been shown in synovial tissue from RA patients, and this appears to be related to clinical manifestation....

Let’s see in detail how this two cellular division differs from each other: Cell division: Mitosis involves only one division that takes place in the telophase phase, while in Meiosis the division occur twice the time and it takes place in Telophase I and Telophase...

The famous scientist William J. Mayo (1928) once said “The aim of medicine is to prevent disease and prolong life, the ideal of medicine is to eliminate the need of a physician. ” With the the help of technologies available and being developed today we...

Biotechnology is the use of living organisms for the welfare of mankind. Biotechnology refers to the understanding the metabolism of cells, also considers the characteristics of individual bio-molecules and their job in interaction networks. Mathematical modeling has become an important element to understand the complexity...
