The movie traces the life of a family after their eldest daughter is diagnosed with leukemia. The family’s 11 year old, Anna Fitzgerald, was born by means of in vitro fertilization to be a genetic match to her leukemic sister Kate. When Kate’s condition gets worse, and she goes into renal failure; Anna knowing that her parents will force her to donate her kidney, hires a lawyer and sues them for “medical emancipation”. Their mother, Sara, who used to be a lawyer proceeds to go to court in order…

The study of the brain began by mapping structures such as lobes, cortexes, and regions. As modern medicine continues to make advancements so does the understanding of complex processes which take place inside of the human body such as the firing of action potentials in neuronal cells in the brain. The research presented in the paper “High-Fidelity optical reporting of neuronal electrical activity with an ultrafast fluorescent voltage sensor” shows just how far brain mapping has come and how far…

4.2 Justification for animal tests When required to make proper provision to ensure human safety, animal testing to enable the proper biological characterization of materials used in medical devices is acceptable. For the purposes of the ISO 10993 series, animal tests shall only be deemed to be justified when: the resulting data are not otherwise available, but are essential to properly characterize the test material in the context in which it is to be used; when no suitable scientifically…

talking about cloning in Brave New World and compare it too gene editing. In Brave New World the have a process called Bokanovsky’s Process which essentially is the fictional process for cloning humans. The human eggs in the story are put in to in vitro which means outside their normal biological habitat. In this world where the government controls everything it’s extremely important for them to control the number of humans. The process does not apply to the Alpha and Beta classes of the…

HeLa cells are a unique strain of cancerous cells obtained from the cancerous cervical tissue of Henrietta Lacks, who perished to the disease on October 4, 1951. HeLa cells are unique because they are “immortal”. HeLa cells are immortal because they do not experience programmed cell death like normal cells would, allowing the HeLa cells to replicate infinitely without experiencing degeneration of genetic material. It is suspected that Henrietta's human papilloma virus and syphilis played a…

The neural stem cells come from the neural system of the fetus where they are collected and sent to organizations such as “The National Industrial Base of Stem Cell Technology” to be cultured and developed. Here the cells are separated through in-vitro and purified under a controlled environment. This is one of the newest and most common methods of using stem cells. This treatment has been administered to thousands of patients and it is extremely rare that the cells have been rejected or…

In this article, foeniculum vulgare is assayed in vitro for antibacterial activity. They used 27 phytopathogenic bacterial species and 2 myropathogenic bacterial species. A significant antibacterial activity is determined by agar diffusion method and reported that foeniculum vulgare essential oil is useful for natural bacterial to control of bacterial disease of plant and seed mainly in organic agriculture. In day today life people used to smoking, poor diet maintenance…

Various in-vitro and in-vivo studies were found testing the efficacy of coconut oil on routinely found oral…

1. INTRODUCTION Thiosemicarbazone is a derivative of imine which is formed when an aldehyde/ketone reacts with a thiosemicarbzide through a condensation reaction. The presence of the hetero atoms like Sulphur and Nitrogen makes these derivatives biologically active. Lately, great emphasis is laid on the synthesis and development of these derivatives reason being the wide variety of pharmacological activities exhibited by them. So far, thiosemicarbazones have been shown to exhibit analgesic and…

336, 310, 241 and 174 folding endurance respectively. This is happened due to addition of drug in IVR leads to reduction of natural rubber latex volume in the ring causing less availability of rubber latex for disulfide bond formation. 6.3.2 In vitro drug release The drug release from batch R2 i.e. IVR containing 210 mg drug, showed more release (42.17%) in 12 h as compared to other batches (Table 22). Subsequently, the slow release was obtained due to the leaching action. These rings showed a…
