Typically EVA is most often associated with equines, but has been confirmed in other species such as; llamas, alpacas, and donkeys. EVA is a disease of the respiratory system that affects equines at any age. This virus is usually transmitted during breeding, but can also be transmitted by aerosol, venereal, congenital routes or indirect contact from fomites. In addition, stallions can be carriers of EVA and will continue to shed the virus in their semen. EVA is not a zoonotic or reportable…

monkeys, elephants and cows. Because it is part of their nature. Dasgupta used the details found in the research done by Oftedal “Lactation is a characteristic of mammals, and it is clear that we are the only living existing creatures that have mammary glands”( Dasgupta ). In many states, the idea of breastfeeding in public is encouraged and supported. For example, according to Florida law, 383.015. – “The breastfeeding of a baby is an important and basic act of nurture which must be encouraged…

chances of survival” (NASA.gov). In NASA and the NCI are in agreement to work together in investigating the outcomes of radiation on our well-being and the reduction of those effects. They are even functioning projects using both human and rodent mammary-gland cells with the purpose of progressing knowledge concerning the aspect of radiation in initiating and finding a remedy for…

vitamins (A, D, E and K) and essential fatty acids (EFA)2. EFA are required by the body for cell growth and nourishment, brain development, regulation of water loss by the skin, blood pressure regulation and for the development of placenta and mammary glands in pregnant women3.…

woman who has done so for any length of time can tell you. It can start from the very beginning, such as having an infant who struggles to latch on to the nipple, or down the road when a woman might develop mastitis, a painful infection in her mammary glands.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines genetic engineering as, “the group of applied techniques of genetics and biotechnology used to cut up and join together genetic material...from one or more species of organism and to introduce the result into an organism in order to change one or more of its characteristics”. Genetic engineering has led to some of the most remarkable advancements in agriculture and medicine.…

ATF3 function in cancer cells: oncogene vs. tumor suppressor The mouse homolog of ATF3 (named TI-241) was identified by differential hybridization due to its high expression in the extremely metastatic melanoma cell line B16-F10, and absence in the related but non-metastatic cell line B16-F1. While characterizing the ATF3 mouse homolog, it was found that over-expression of ATF3 in the non-metastatic B16-F1cells converted them into highly metastatic cells, therefore, suggesting that ATF3…

Bisphenol A, is a commercial chemical often used in the making of polycarbonates and epoxy resin. Polycarbonates are often used in the making of plastic food and beverage containers, such. Epoxy resin is often used in the lining of food cans and the tops of bottles. This is dangerous because it poses a threat to human health. Bisphenol A also known as BPA can seep through the plastic container and into the food or beverage itself. Exposure to BPA can have a negative impact on the…
