Sickle cell originated from Africa, India, Mediterranean countries, Saudi Arabia, the Caribbean islands, and South and Central America. Sickle is most commonly found in African Americans, but it can also effect, and be found in all races. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia — a condition in which there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry proper amount of oxygen throughout your body. Many people may have heard about sickle cell and may be aware but many most likely do not

Tamara Goins- Weekly Research- Week 5- Antonelli College- Ericca Peacock- Instructor For this weekly research, I have chosen Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. From my research, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is also called NHL, and no, not for the National Hockey League! But for the acronym of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a cancer that starts in your lymphatic system where it in turn, develops into tumors from our white blood cells, called lymphocytes. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a more common type

proteases has been realised by recent research as its increased role in biological regulations (Perlmann et al., 1970). Proteases are prominent in tropical fruit with bromelain in pineapple, papain in papaya and ficin in Figs (Gall et al., 1994). Research of proteases has led to rapid development of its use in the food industry (F. Gibbs, 1999). Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme commonly found in pineapple, and is typically extracted from the stem part of the fruit. It is heavily used

Anatomy and Physiology 2, SCI 136 Research project # 40904000 Muscular Dystrophy Definition Muscular dystrophy (MD) refers to a group of more than 30 genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles used during voluntary movement. The word dystrophy is derived from the Greek dys, which means "difficult" or "faulty," and troph, or "nourish." These disorders vary in age of onset, severity, and pattern of affected muscles. All forms of MD grow worse as

experiments in three major areas that have become trends through TED talks over the last 25 years. These include; the ability to engineer cells, the advancement of engineering tissues and finally the continuing research into robotics. In terms of engineering cells Enriquez cites the work of Craig Venter, a biotechnologist, who had already engineered a fully programmable cell. It allows DNA to

Even though there are several drawbacks when attempting to accurately performing MS2, such as requiring a stem-loop in order to function. MS2 is still an efficient method of viewing the mechanisms of mRNA localization in living cells. Boireau S, Maiuri P, Basyuk E, de la Mata M, Knezevich A, Pradet-Balade B, et al. The transcriptional cycle of HIV-1 in real-time and live cells. J. Cell Biol 2007; 179:291–304. This article is interested in looking at the activity of RNA polymerase II by using

humans they test on animals.”Much of what researchers learn about human disease come from judging animal models” (The Genetic Science Learning Center) Animals are used in cosmetic and commercial testing so scientists are able to use animals to do research on cloning. The tests done on animals will be able find cures and make medicine or clone other animals. Since human cloning is banned, no one really knows if a human clone is actually
