Methodology Glucocorticoids Influence on CFTR Because chloride is a major component in the fluid that is secreted from pulmonary epithelial cells, it plays an essential role for the development of fetal lungs. It was previously found that as birth approaches, CFTR levels decline sand cortisol levels increase. Which is why this study investigates the effect of glucocorticoids on the chloride channels in the lungs. In this procedure, fetal distal lung epithelial (FDLE) cells were isolated from

this hurdle in human cells. The strategy Cho used to enhance Cas9 specificity was to use two different Cas9 enzymes that each cut a single stand of the DNA. This is possible because Cas9 has two catalytic domains for cleavage of each strand. Through the use of a single amino acid mutation the catalysid domain is inactivated and the only one of DNA strands is cut. This variation in Cas9 has been termed

The Globel Concern with GMO’s Recently the discussions of GMO's have become more prevalent in households, schools, restaurants, grocery stores, and other social settings. As an issue that has many pros and cons, there are various points to debate. GMO's, or genetically modified organisms refer to seeds that have been genetically altered before being planted. This is usually done because it will benefit farmers and companies in the long run. GMO's have presented themselves as an issue

Cancer is more likely to occur if an individual is missing both tumor suppressor genes and the oncoprotein, tumor suppressor, levels are high (Interview with Dr. Brower 2015, see acknowledgments). As cancer progresses, the amount of nutrients and oxygen available lowers to create a hypoxic environment (Ioannou et al. 2011). Also, cancer cells prevent apoptosis from occurring; apoptosis is when the forces in the cell lead to cell death (Interview with Dr. Brower 2015, see acknowledgments). For

Huntington's Disease Essay: By Jasmine Mongeon Huntington's disease is an inherited disease characterized by the degeneration of the central nervous system, which ultimately results in abnormal movements and mental deterioration. The genetic abnormality consists of expansion in the trinucleotide repeat CAG in the HD gene on chromosome 4, which codes for the normal protein huntingtin. The HD gene is an autosomal dominant condition which means that only one parent must have the gene in order for

Down syndrome Approximately 220,000 babies are born with down syndrome every year. That is 1 in every 800 babies. A average person is born with 23 pairing or 46 total chromosomes. A person born with down syndrome usually has 47 chromosomes. When down syndrome occurs the reason is because of an extra copy of the 21st chromosome in every cell. In medical terms “trisomy” refers to having an extra copy of a chromosome. The proper name for down syndrome is Trisomy 21 because of the extra copy

“Playing God” is a dangerous accusation toward the scientists and researchers that work for the betterment of humanity through organic replacements and modifications. To really play God, one must undertake deliberate actions to create life or affect the human race in a significant manner that many would consider ethically unacceptable. Today’s medical breakthroughs see unnecessary scrutiny due to the misinformed notion that the creation of life through unnatural means is an act of man playing God

identical nuclear genetic material (DNA) to an existing human being, and who is allowed to develop to term and beyond (bioethics.ac.uk). In this type of cloning it is the whole genetic of a single individual. There are different methods to do with this type of cloning but the most common is somatic cell nuclear transfer. The first step is to remove the nucleus from the mother egg. Second is to take a somatic cell from the individual being cloned, take out the DNA and put it in the egg of the mother

An important factor in the structure of DNA is the amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. In the process of allowing for the function to occur, it must go through several different steps. The structure of DNA leads to the structure of proteins because structure matches function (ISN pg. 110). When DNA is translated an error can occur, and these errors are called mutations. Mutations are a random change in an organism's DNA. Some mutations can be positive and provide
