Epigenetics

The Bio/psycho/Social Interaction of Addiction Addiction involves the all aspects of one’s life. Areas such a biological, psychological and social environment play a major role in determining the likelihood of an individual becoming an addict. Though bio, psycho, and social aspects weigh heavily in on addiction, an addict spiritual anchor, suffering, and pain have a place in the breaking of man away from God. The human spirit goes through many up and downs as one try to fill a void within their…

The video “Public Genome” demonstrate an interesting perspective about how our genes play a vital role in our predisposition for certain diseases such as Alzheimer or cancer. Fragments of the six billion letters in our DNA are what makes up a gene found on our chromosome. In humans, these 20,000 plus genes transcribes to form a mature mRNA which then gets translated in the ribosome to produce a particular protein like collagen for our skin or hemoglobin in our red blood cells. Although knowing…

with their desires entirely independent of the previously mentioned factors is absurd, as multiple circumstances have a tremendous influence on the cognition and state of the human; an example of such would be utilizing the scientific field of epigenetics, which, in summation, is the study of the environmental impact upon genetic configuration and potential to activate and deactivate specific genetic nodes. The copious amounts of research produced from this subcategory of genetics demonstrates…

Psychological stress is related to the onset of a spectrum of diseases (Cohen, Janicki-Deverts, & Miller, 2007), but the underlying pathways linking stress with disease are not fully understood. Recently there has been increasing interest in exploring low-grade peripheral inflammation as a potential pathway, especially considering that inflammation is reliably induced by psychological stress and directly affects various organ systems in the body (Rohleder, 2014). Previous studies showed that…

there was so much more you could have accomplished, but it is too late to start over. You still have regrets and are not ready to move on. Erik Erikson suggested that there are eight set stages for you to unfold as you develop, also known as the epigenetic principle. Meaning, influences from your environment, genes, and culture would help shape your personality in these predetermined stages. Tesia Nguyen, is a 30-year-old Asian American business owner, married, and an expecting mother. She…

Prokaryotes There are two types of organisms based cell types: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are divided into two parts: Bacteria and Archaea. Prokaryotes are much smaller than eukaryotes. Prokaryotes contain a single loop of chromosomal DNA which is stored in nucleoid. Eukaryotes DNA is found on tightly bound and organised chromosomes. Genetic expression is the process where genotypes coded in the genes are displayed by the phenotypes of the individuals. The DNA is then copied…

The description of what one is able to feel during the reach stage is a certain level of discomfort but excited as well because this step requires one to move themselves beyond their current circumstance all while practicing new thoughts. This is a place of discovery find something to say or do that moves will move the toxic thoughts in to positive thinking. This can be nurtured by reading and quoting scriptures. The mind is the power of intellect emotions and if an able to power by the Holy…

002091004 Young’s Thoughts on the Development of the Traumatic Memory Allen Young examines the history of mental trauma through memory in this ridiculously incoherent but incredibly interesting essay. The development of the ideas of a traumatic memory comes from surgical sources from the late 1800s to Young’s own essay about post-traumatic stress disorder in 1995. This wide range of documents hides the fact that they are mostly researchers situated in the West, not to mention the obvious…

not medical in nature; it is directed at people with no medical expertise. The NIH site, depending on which sections a reader is in, can go into medical terms the average person may not immediately understand; such as DSM-IV, psychostimulants, epigenetics, and neuroenhancement to name a…
