When pathogenic cells enter the body, the white blood cells surround that invasion site immediately(Feeling the Heat- the Link between Inflammation and Cancer, 2013) .

Wound healing is active and complicated process that includes well developed and very controlled phases including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. However, these phases can be compromised in some pathophysiological disorders. With healing process of the four phases and with proper care of the wound insures proper and rapid healing process. Some treatments can be as mild as ban-aid and others would have to use ointments, prescription medication, surgery depending on how…
Aging is defined as the accumulation of changes that can be biological, psychological or social, and is among the greatest known risk factors for most human diseases1. While aging has always been seen as a natural process, some scientists are starting to study it as an illness that needs to be cured2. Although these studies aim to such big goals, present knowledge about this process is still really poor. In aging brain, there are roughly two categories for the type of changes suffered:…
