Surgery for Benign Lipomas Tumors Lipomas are tumors that form from fat cells. These common types of benign tumors are generally found on the back, arms, shoulders, stomach, thighs, and necks of people in all age groups. They are generally slow growing and can be seen on the surface of the skin. Lipomas are generally round in shape, have a soft composition, and can be moved around when touched. Sometimes these tumors are the result of genetics and sometimes they are the result of an…

Healthy Cells VS Cancer Cells Cancer cells differ from normal cells in many ways; these various differences allow them to grow out of control. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells have an unstoppable growth rate which causes them to divide continuously. They are also able to ignore signals from the body that would normally command healthy cells to die after a certain period of time. Cancer cells are able to influence normal cells allowing them to extract the materials needed in order to grow as…

Cancer is a group of diseases involved in the abnormal growth of cells with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Not all tumours are cancerous, benign tumours do not spread to other parts of the body while malignant tumours can spread to other parts of the body. Leukaemia causes the DNA of immature blood cells, mainly white blood cells, to become damaged. The disease causes blood cells to grow and divide chaotically. Whereas normal blood cells die after a while and are…

Celator Pharmaceuticals: Mission Statement Analysis Affordable access to drugs is essential for helping the developing world. As somebody with a strong interest in developing African communities, I am naturally interested in pharmaceutical manufacturing companies that are creating new ways to treat diseases throughout the world as well as in Africa. For these reasons, I have chosen to analyze the mission statement of Celator Pharmaceuticals Incorporated. Celator is a company that is designing…

Conventional chemotherapy delivers therapeutic agents to the cancerous cells to reduce their growth but the non-specificity of the drug affect normal cells as well (Sutradhar & Amin, 2014). Thus, the main challenge here is to design a specific drug delivery system to cancerous cells only (Sutradhar & Amin, 2014). The use of nanotechnology can provide a specific drug delivery system and overcome the challenges faced. Nanotechnology is a field that covers various areas such as biology, engineering…

The simple but revolutionary organism Drosophila melanogaster has intricate properties that are studied to find its relations with human genes. Not only is D. melanogaster a model organism for its rapid growth, inexpensive culturing, and easy modifications, the Drosophila can provide more in-depth scientific analysis that can solve human diseases. The model organism D. melanogaster is studied to find ground-breaking research in neurology, sleep, cancer, and drug discovery. The multivariable…

EVALUATING THE EXPRESSION 15-HYDROXYPROSTAGLANDIN DEHYDROGENASE IN COLON CANCER TREATED WITH ASPIRIN According to the World Cancer Research Fund International (WCRF) men (black men more specifically) in the United States have the highest incidence of colorectal cancer as compared to women. Colon cancer (colorectal cancer) is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum due to the abnormal cell proliferation caused by Prostaglandin E2(PGE2). PGE2 is increased or stimulated by…

What is tumor ? a tumor is condition resultant about growth of tissue and classified a benign or malignant . Usually, the body is able to be balance cell growth and breaking up. If the balance of cell growth and death is disturbed, a tumor may form. The first type is Cells in benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body,but They can often be removed, and in most cases, and usually don't grow back. For instance, women who find lumps in their breasts during self-examinations are often…

Alternatively, inflammation-induced activation of the pro-tumor cytokine family causes epigenetic modifications. A persistent inflammatory response in individuals with ulcerative colitis and inflammatory bowel disease causing oxidative stress and activation of TNF-α and NF-ҡB (tumor promoting cytokines) has been suggested as a major cause for colorectal cancer (Kraus et al., 2009). Activation of cytokines like STAT3 and NF-ҡB can also induce stem cell-like phenotype and stem cell expansion in…

Cancer is the name given to a set of related diseases. Normally, human cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When normal cells grow old or get damaged, they die, and new cells replace. However, in cancer, this orderly process goes wrong. old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when not needed. Cancer can occur some organs and each organs can have different reaction to the disease. Many cancers are solid tumors, which are masses of tissue.…
