I named it Poco Pets and have been dreaming up, drawing, and planning it for the past year. Now I have come to Kickstarter to make the shirts a reality. Poco Pets shirts are pocketed tees with a variety of lovable pets chilling in the pockets. Each shirt is…

inflammatory cells (Eisenstein and Williams 2009). Researching team Eisenstein and Williams divided Foxp3 expressing Tregs into two groups; ‘natural’ Treg (nTreg) cells and ‘induced’ Treg (iTreg) cells. nTreg cells are another term for CD4+ regulatory T cells and are characterized by their development in the thymus and exportation to maintain self-tolerance. This means that they are able to recognize self-peptides with low enough affinity not to be killed in the thymus during development. These…

Prior to preforming the experiment, the prediction was made; An increase in environmental temperature will lead to an increased activity level of T. molitor. This prediction was…

T cells are a type of white blood cell that is made in the bone marrow. These T cells are a part of the immune system which is meant to keep you from getting sick and helps to prevent diseases. Some people have a stronger immune system than others, and that means that they have either more white blood cells or lots of good bacteria, or both. This has been a very interesting subject for me, and I had a lot of fun researching it. Body System Most Affected The body system that is most affected by…
