The Truth behind GMO’s From the first but fire built, to the enlightenment, to now, people have used technology to further advance their knowledge of this earth. As humans the technology that we have discovered extraordinary things. Every day science advances in new methods to make people 's lives productive, faster, and more efficient. However science sometimes pushes the boundaries of humans ethical, scientific and political views. A new controversy has sprung from Genetically Modified…
PCR History The invaluable molecular technique known as PCR, or the polymerase chain reaction, was discovered by a biochemist named Kary Mullis. Mullis was doing research in the early 1980s at a biotechnology company in California when he initially thought of the idea regarding PCR. PCR was developed by a combination of several techniques already in existence; the synthesis of oligonucleotides and their utilization to synthesize new copies of DNA that were specific using DNA polymerases. Mullis…
this disease. (10 points) Coronary artery atherosclerosis is most commonly comprised of atherosclerotic fibrous fatty obstructions of the large epicardial vessels, which provide for blood flow and transport nutrients, oxygen, and elimination of metabolic waste products such as CO2, lactic acid, and hydrogen ions. Coronary artery atherosclerosis is a progressive disease related to and accumulating atheroma (fibrous fatty plaque), which damage the supporting vessels of the heart and eventually…
illness, particularly because it is long term. The overall objective of type 2 diabetes’s management is to achieve and maintain blood glucose control and reduce the risk of long-term complications (Shafiee et.al, 2012). Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder wherein the blood glucose levels are high which results in insulin resistance. The number of adults affected by diabetes is expected to increase all over the world each year. The usual medication for the treatment of diabetes…

cognitive decline diseases, specifically AD. Omega-3 fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids with a carbon-carbon double bond from the methyl end (n-3). Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is the parent omega-3 acid. ALA becomes desaturated by a sequence of metabolic steps to form eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and decosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Exploration of the terms and conditions to interpret the strength and clarity…
bright red color indicates that the cells are viable. In contrast, a dark blue consistency in the cells is evidence that the subject cells are dead. As a result, experts always rely on the compound to evaluate a cell’s viability and indicate its metabolic…
The role of the circadian clock in Imiquimod-induced skin inflammation Introduction The circadian rhythm is a biological system that allows organisms to synchronize their activities to the coming and going of light in their external environment. All living organisms contain this biological clock that helps coordinate physiological activities, such as eating, sleeping, and reproducing, to promote survival. In mammals, the principal regulator of the circadian clock is a group of nerve cells known…
Osteoporosis, otherwise known as porous bone, is characterized by a decrease in bone density as well as depreciation of bone tissue. Due to these conditions, there is an increased risk of bone breakages and fractures of the hip, spine, and the wrist. Both men and women are susceptible to osteoporosis; however, several preventative methods and treatments are currently out there. Here in the United States, approximately 40 million people are affected by the disease or have a higher susceptibility…
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that affects approximately 23.6 million people globally (Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 Collaborators, 2015). The disorder is marked by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech and behavior, which typically result in problems related to self-care and general functioning in social and occupational settings (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Despite the first detailed clinical description having been written in 1810 (Haslam, 1810), and…
