Apoptosis

Lung transplantation is a complex surgical procedure that a diseased lung is removed and replaced with a donor lung through anastomosis. In context of transplantation, a patient will receive either a single or bilateral lung transplant from a deceased donor. The current concern for lung transplantation is the shortage of lungs donor. Fortunately, some cases could be relieved by receiving donation from living donors. This procedure involved the removal of one lower lobes of lungs each from two…

Safety and effectiveness of Rituximab not studied yet in children so contra indication in this age group. Clinical Pharmacology Clinical Studies showed that rituximab inhibits with the interior functional B-cells and inducing apoptosis (cell loss) by intrusive with CD20 calcium level and uplifting the level of calcium in the B-cells from usual to unusual levels. There are three chief mechanisms through rituximab acts in the body. One process by which the B-cell is demolished by…

exchange is often used in addition to the standard treatment(21). Cyclophosphamide’s metabolite, phosphoramide mustard, interferes with DNA strand by forming crosslinks and thus inhibiting DNA and RNA synthesis and function, leading to cellular apoptosis(22). However, studies have shown that cyclophosphamide usage will lead to some serious side effects: haemorrhagic cystitis, sepsis, leukopenia and increased risk of bladder cancer(20). As a result, Methotrexate has been used to substitute the…

transcription in most of the eukaryotic cells. This was the potential line of interest in understanding the aspects of tumor cell progression, drug resistance. Our results validate that pantoprazole inhibited C6 glioma cell proliferation and induced apoptosis relatively by subduing NF-κB signaling. Pantoprazole is already clinically used for peptic ulcer disease and reflux esophagitis, considering above observations it signifies that pantoprazole might play a vital role in chemotherapy and in…

Revolution against the basic evolutionary developmental biology arises with the astounding repair capacity of the planarian robust self assembly system and its automatic repair ability of its body structures. With its complex body plan and nervous system, a planaria possess the ability to flawlessly regenerate any part of their body after a traumatic injury or loss. It is capable of recovering its original structure and function of any damaged or obliterated body part even after being deprived…

Legalization of Cannabis Cannabis is a drug that many people see that will lead an individual down a path that comes with crime and other dangerous drugs like cocaine and heroin. If we could just get past this view of the drug and see it for its good then America could benefit much more than with it being illegal. Cannabis can be used in the medical fields, help the economy, and is much safer than alcohol and cigarettes. Cannabis offers America much more, but with it being illegal the U.S can…

rickets, osteomalacia and osteoporosis (Lucas and Ponsonby 595). Apart from bone health, research suggests that vitamin D has an important role in immunomodulation, and regulation of tumor-cell development. It has been shown that Vitamin D triggers apoptosis, cell death, in melanoma cells (Merrill et al.). Diseases for which causality has not yet been shown but are strongly correlated with vitamin D levels include multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, schizophrenia and rheumatoid arthritis…

thing that makes the treatment of cancer so difficult is the similarity that cancerous cells have to ordinary, healthy cells. There are only two prominent differences between cancer cells and healthy cells. The first is the termination of the apoptosis process, which is responsible for killing cells with potentially harmful mutations before they can cause damage. The other is the rate at which cells go through cellular division. Cancerous cells go through this process much more rapidly and…

An insight in the biophysical properties of bio macromolecules Natural biopolymers such as nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates are essential for life as we see it today. It is incredible to think how this vast set of molecules that are in every living thing, from bacteria to human beings, are mostly made up by six elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus). These biopolymers have the properties to, from small monomers, build giant tridimensional structures with a…

Diet tips on improving stomach cancer life expectancy Description: When one is diagnosed with cancer, he/she worries about stomach cancer life expectancy. Exercising control over the diet and following the diet prescribed by your physician can in some way improve life. Among all the diseases, gastric cancer is the 4th most common ailment. People over 55 years of age are more susceptible to getting stomach cancer. Poor dietary habits can increase the risk of stomach cancer but then following…
