Neurons are the cells specialized to receive, conduct, and transmit signal to the nervous system. The development of neurons starts early during the embryogenesis. After the fusion of sperm and egg, zygote is formed which is further divided to form blastula eventually leading to gastrula stage of development. Gastrulation begins as invagination of cells in the embryo leading to the formation of three germ layers. Formation of notochord from the mesodermal layer marks the beginning of neurulation…

The role of oxysterols in human body and disease 1. Introduction Oxysterols are 27-carbon derivatives of cholesterol created by spontaneous or enzymatic oxidation (Figure 1, (Brown and Jessup, 2009)). The oxidation of cholesterol occurs either on the side chain or on the sterol core. Side chain oxidation generates, e.g., 24-hydroxycholesterol (24-HC), 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) or 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-HC) while the core oxidation gives rise to ring oxysterols, mostly ring-B oxysterols,…

It never occurred to me that there were different levels. I finally understand why it’s so hard to be a great leader (Level Five). There are so many components that go into it and it takes years and years of experience. This is extremely important because I want to look at my leader and be able to analyze them. I would really like…

He sounded a little reluctant at first, but then answered, "Agreed." On the sofa, I had grabbed a throw pillow and begun to squeeze it. I was so nervous... "I need to tell you about a certain kind of person," she began, "...and these kind of people you may know, and I want you to keep an eye out for them. There are certain kind of people who specialize in fooling others for their own personal gain, and they have no way of empathizing with other people." He shuddered. "This is scary..."…

A simple verbal greeting, smile, or handshake is an important social function for Ghanaians that expresses their concern for others and represents an open heart and mind. However, the left hand has limited use in Ghana; thus, the waving, pointing, and gesticulating in speech should be avoided. As one of the few English speaking countries, Ghana offers a safe,…
