Cystic fibrosis, is also known as mucoviscidosis, is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine. Knowing that Cystic fibrosis is a disease that can cause a lot of trouble in your body if untreated. Cystic fibrosis has three main aspects is it important to know. The first is how Cystic fibrosis is caused in the human body. Second, is how the disease affects the human body. Last, is how do you treat this disease that has entered the human

When one thinks of cloning they make think back to a science fiction movie they saw where clones took over the world or a book of the same genre where clones did something evil. Cloning has always been looked at as a futuristic endeavor, but truth is that cloning is here already. The most famous case of cloning is with Dolly the Sheep, which was the first animal to be cloned from a somatic cell. With cloning comes a wide variety of potential for science, some of which include organ transplantations

called organelles. These organelles are the structural and functional units and are created from several macromolecules connected together. A typical animal cell contains the following organelles (Tracey Greenwood, 2012): the nucleus (which houses the DNA), mitochondria (which produce energy), ribosomes (which make protein), the endoplasmic reticulum (for transportation) and the golgi apparatus (which distributes

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
