size, it has not been determined if the ribosome biogenesis can lead to the development of neoplastic tissues (Dang et al., 2006). Another functional group of genes that c-myc regulates the expression of are those that produce cytoskeletal and cell adhesion proteins. The first of these genes to be recognized were those encoding collagen. C-myc consistently repressed these genes across repeated experiments (Dang et al., 2006). N-cadherin is a protein involved in the regulation of hematopoietic…

Microbes of the infected root canal system Historically, the most wide-spread method for detecting and characterizing bacteria has been by culturing. Culturing bacteria allows the analysis of their morphology, virulence, gram-staining pattern, the quantization of viable microorganisms, as well as the testing of their susceptibility to antibiotics. Consequently, this method may not allow normally viable bacteria to cultivate as the selected culturing media may not have the nutritional and…

receptors, and enhances phagocytosis.10 IL-6 increases body temperature and initiates acute phase response.9 IL-1-Beta induces fever, T-cell & macrophage activation.11 Also during inflammation, the surfaces of blood vessel endothelium express cell-adhesion molecules known as ICAM- 1 and ICAM-2.9 If there is tissue damage, fibrinogen helps form blood clots to stop bleeding.12 PAI1 is the main inhibitor of plasminogen activators (inhibits the breakdown of blood clots) and plays a role in…

New ultraviolet (UV) curable prepolymer, 2–hydroxy–3–[p–(1–{2–hydroxy–3–(isopro– phenylcarbonyloxypropoxy) phenyl} methylcyclohexyl) phenoxy] propyl acrylate (BISCHDA) was synthesized by the reaction of p–[1–(p–hydroxyphenyl) methylcyclohexyl] phenol with methylcyclohexanone, epoxidation with epichlorohydrin followed by addition reaction with acrylic acid. All synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. Several UV-curable formulated solutions were prepared…

The Cranberry: A Healthier, Cheaper Alternative to Antibiotics? Have you ever heard that cranberry juice helps prevent a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)? The Vaccinium oxycoccus, more commonly known as the small cranberry, is a plant that I have always been curious about researching and exploring in further detail. The fruit may remind people of holiday decorations, or of the Ocean Spray commercials in the beautiful cranberry bogs in Massachusetts. They remind me of their incredible powers in…

Introduction Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia is a type of cancer that occurs when bone marrow produces too many leucocytes (white blood cells) . This over production of leucocytes occurs when they grow uncontrollably by overcoming the cell regulation cycle. Cells not undergoing the regulation cycle continue to divide without dying ,causing an overcrowding of cells, hence, forming a tumour in bone marrow. The tumour can become an even more serious issue when the cancer cells from a tumour spreads to…
