The use of taxpayer’s money should be used in the research of microchimerism. Microchimerism is the presence of foreign cells in a person, which originate from another person. In recent years, researchers have discovered foreign cells in babies and their mothers. There is evidence suggesting the transfer of cells between babies and their mothers during pregnancy does happen. This event is known as maternal microchimerism which can be beneficial or harmful. An example of a negative event is a…

Multiple myeloma is a form of cancer that is caused by the formation of abnormal plasma cells, which become malignant. Plasma cells arise from B lymphocytes that are formed in the bone marrow; specifically the lymph nodes and spleen. When a foreign particle enters the body the immune system triggers an immune response which triggers B cells to produce plasma cells. The plasma cells make immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulins are antibodies that attaches themself to the target antigen in order for…

want them to leave them alone by targeting their nervous systems. Different poisons such as "Brazil nuts can kill the liver and the lungs", " however eating just a few can actually supply" central nutrient to "prevent heart disease and cancer". "Scientist have performed experiments using" curcumin which was thought to be…

it’s “diet” soda that it is better for you than regular soda, and that it will help you lose weight, but that is not the case. According to “Diet soda makes consumers more fat than fit,” research suggests that diet soft drinks and other artificially sweetened products may actually contribute to weight gain. research suggests that diet soft drinks and other…

The concept of genetically engineering humans was once confined to the franchises of fiction – stories of half-humans and shapeshifters, transgenesis and cyborging, genetic superpowers and mutations. The list goes on, but one crucial thing has changed – now these once impossible ideas have seemingly become attainable. Ever since female scientists in the United States and Sweden discovered CRISPR-Cas9, the scientific community has been debating over how to use this new power in their hands.…

Similar to viruses and bacteria, the cancer-causing Aurora kinases have grown resistant to normal cancer therapy (Dar). After a few years of research, scientists have found ways to target the Aurora kinases that cause cancer. Instead of normal cancer treatments, doctors have been using drugs that inhibit the Aurora kinases. When the kinases have been inhibited, they cannot function properly.…

INTRODUCTION Cancer can be defined as a special kind of illness that occurs when the cells in a given part of a body begin to grow out of proportion than is normal. Currently, in the United States, this disease is the second leading cause of deaths. Human beings over the history have had tumors and remedies have been implemented, and others continue to be performed and studied over time (American Cancer Society, 2010). These methods of treatment include chemo-preventive methods and of late…

1. Overview Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that is formed in many different types of nervous tissue. In 1864 a German physician named Rudolph Virchow first described this cancer as a abdominal tumor. The cancer cell appears on adrenal glands mostly and can cause pain in abdomen bones. This cancer mostly shows in 10 year olds and younger , reason why has still not been proven , but scientist do say neuroblastoma develops in early age. Neuroblastoma has two stages , 4 and 4s. Stage for is when…

dietary constituents except vitamins and minerals, was first shown to extend the lifespan of rats 80 years ago (McCay, 1930). Since then, many studies have proven that DR can extend longevity on wide range of taxa (Fontana et al., 2010). In addition, research done on animal models reveals that there exists conserved molecular mechanisms known to influence ageing. Nonetheless, while certain nutrient sensing pathways such as Insulin-like signalling (IIS) and mTOR pathway have been shown to…

cures to diseases. This is because even though animals and humans can have similar organ structures, animals and humans have numerous differences that make it almost impossible for animal testing to give accurate data. For example, dogs are used for research into heart disease, despite differences between dog and human hearts, blood vessels and circulation. For instance, in humans, high blood pressure is associated with high insulin levels. However, in a dog, high insulin levels actually lowers…
