understand the receptors, which are proteins that are found inside and on the surface of cancerous cell. These receptor proteins are the senses of the cell, they receive messages/signals from substances in the bloodstream and the cell respond to these signals. In this research, the mouse metastatic mammary 4T1 tumor cell line was used as well as human breast adenocarcinoma cell line, mouse mammary tumor MMTV-Myc cell line, RPMI supplemented with fetal bovine serum,

In this report I want to talk about sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia is a blood disease that changes the shape of the red blood cells from the circular shape to the shape of the crescent. The shape of the sickle changes into a crescent, which is difficult to pass through the small blood vessels. When this occurs, it is difficult to enter oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich substance that makes blood red and allows red blood cells to carry oxygen from the lungs to all parts

one appeals to far-reaching, so desirable benefits of a treatment owing cloning, that it is difficult not to agree with him. He argues with the opponent of human cloning by highlighting that, actually, there is nothing reprehensible in producing stem cells. We simply must abstract from comprehension of this process as destruction of human embryo. As to say about similarities between both texts we should underline next: at the beginning each authors make an introduction where he addresses to his reader

Vitro Testing. This is testing done with cell culture techniques; they can be stem cells to mimic a particular tissue, such as skin or can be human tissue. If done, no more rabbits would suffer from Draize testing or other testing, because instead of putting the chemicals onto the rabbit, the scientist would be putting it on the In- Vitro cells, tissue. This test is less expensive and more reliable because it deals with human cells instead of animal cells that give opposite reactions

LEUKEMIA 2 Leukemia is a cancer of blood cells, specifically white blood cells that are responsible for fighting infection. However, the abnormal cells in leukemia do not function in the same way as normal white blood cells. Leukemia cells continue to grow and divide, eventually crowding out normal blood cells. The end result is that it becomes difficult for the body to fight infections, control bleeding and transport oxygen

death of the unborn baby, the precept of preservation may request that you save the mother whereas reproduction may will you to save the baby. To what extent could a believer in Natural Law accept embryo research (10 marks) Arguably, a follower of natural law would be unable to accept embryo research. If an embryo is

further. It will explain not only how the trait for this disease is passed from generation to generation, but also the specific mutations that cause it. This section will explore the trait that is expressed when the gene is turned on, how it effects cell metabolism, and in turn, the disorder that is caused in the body as a result. The second section will describe the clinical manifestation of the disease. It will cover what is typical in a patient with the disease, initial and continuing symptomology

neuroanatomical mechanisms involved in a migraine, the exact pathophysiology of the disorder is yet to be confirmed. However, scientific and technological advancements over the past decade, specifically in neuronal brain imaging, have enabled experts to research further into the underlying biological mechanisms involved. Theories behind the disordered physiological processes associated with migraines will be examined, exploring various hypotheses regarding

of the instant network of communication and entertainment it provides, and the dangers reported when “texting and driving”. Heath Wright reported that “Gaby Badre, M.D., conducted research on the effects of cell phone usage on sleep patterns in teens. Badre found that teens with excessive cell phone habits exhibit chronic restlessness, a reliance on stimulating drinks, difficulty falling asleep at night, disrupted sleep and an inclination toward fatigue and stress.”(Wright

understanding the greater debate surrounding cloning. At the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, in July 1996, scientists produced the first animal cloned from an adult cell. Dolly the sheep was born early in 1997, shocking the scientific community and the world. Dolly was created through a process called cell nuclear replacement. A mammary cell of a six-year-old white Welsh Mountain sheep was transferred into the egg shell of a Scottish Blackface ewe (Calhoun Cash 2). Since Dolly’s birth, other species
