While animal testing remains an ethical debate today, there are ways individuals can help settle the ongoing issue at hand. It shouldn’t be necessary for animals to be killed in the range of thousands every year. What many people do not know is that many animals are now locked up in cages. They are tested and are given harsh treatments. They experience loneliness, stress and discomfort. We do not need to put animals through the unnecessary and painfully cruel reality that takes place during the…

“What the heck are you?” Billy Radish asked. “I’m of the Pickle family. I…just look different.” He replied with a frown. “No you’re a disgrace!” Billy announced as he hit the Odd Pickle. The odd pickle was born like a normal pickle, he just came out differently. He looks nothing like a pickle. Oh, I did not properly introduce myself. I am Brennen, and I am also, the Lord of Fridge. I will let our epic hero tell his epic story. I am Chiwii, also the Odd Pickle. I am of the Pickle family, son of…

In regards to a powerful empire, the British had one of the most powerful empires in all of history. There was a saying that went along with the British Empire and that was, the sun never sets on the British Empire. The British Empire was so large and powerful that it had colonies all over the world and the sun was always up in at least one colony of theirs. However, even the biggest and best empires in the world eventually encounter a force either internally or externally that causes them to…

Mirror Ball. DWTS has been a greatly successful show, landing in the Nielson Ratings’ top ten, season after season. Fernando Delgado accredits this success to the combination of elements including “celebrity, audience involvement, the drama of knockout competition and sex appeal in the context of social forms of dancing.” While the sexual nature of the dances and the costumes attracts the female audience, the inclusion of masculine competitors is what attracts the male audiences. This is what…

could be infected any moment without knowing it. Diseases and fear spread and moved forward quickly, but the war did not, “A war of movement in the west quickly degenerated into the horror of trench warfare, as neither side was able to deliver the knockout blow.” Trench warfare was not just a treacherous place that inflicted unimaginable suffering both physically and mentally to the brave soldier, but it also moved slower making the…

First, you said only one eye has leukocoria in this infant. Leukocoria is a common clinical feature of retinoblastoma, and this indication is usually a late sign of the disease (Balmer et al., 2006). Retinoblastoma can be either a hereditary disease and a nonhereditary disease. Generally, 60% of the cases of retinoblastoma are nonhereditary, with the remaining 40% being hereditary. Usually, 25% of the hereditary cases have family disease history, which is what we have in this case (NORD).…

Charbill Klayme 0993551 Dr. Hye-Jeong Yeo Functions of SREBPs Abstract SREBPs are 1,150 Amino Acid long proteins that are used to activate cholesterolgenesis. SREBP-1a are used to induce all the response genes. The SREBP-2 are used to allow expression of the LDL receptor. Ubiquination, usually by the kinase GSK3, can be the weapon to destructing SREBPs. SREBP-1a will build more cholesterol and fatty acids in rats and mice when it is over expressed. The SREBP-1c are best studied in the…

citrullination (protein modification), converting arginine residues to citrulline [27, 28]. This process is catalyzed by peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) that is localized in the nucleus of neutrophils. It was shown that neutrophils isolated from PAD4-knockout mice lost their ability to release NET and histone hypercitrullination was not detectable [29]. Consequently, nuclear membrane ruptures, chromatin expands, mixes with the toxic granular factors and finally releases NETs studded with…

Neuronal regeneration is a high energy demanding process however, with maturation, axonal mitochondria transport progressively declines. Mitochondria are cellular powerhouses that supply ATP; essential for neuron growth, survival, and regeneration. Motile mitochondria can become stationary and in mature axons of the central nervous system (CNS), the majority of the mitochondria become stationary with only about 20-30% remaining motile. With this reduction in mitochondrial transport, mature CNS…

“Is there a problem, Miss?” One of the officers asked again. Wanting so badly to say everything was all right, and send them away. Carol, for a few seconds, stares at William probing his eyes for an apology, but all she could see was extreme dislike and unmasked hatred he was projecting. The frightened appearance on her children’s faces told the heartbreaking story. And that could not be described in words. “Yes, my husband’s drunk,” The officers straightaway direct their attention to William,…
