Squamous cell carcinomas of the lungs, head and neck, esophagus, and cervix account for over 400,000 deaths per year. Finding a way to effectively treat this type of cancer is very important for the well being of people. In this primary research article, the authors attempt to find a mechanism by which squamous cell carcinoma proliferation and invasion are inhibited. They use the cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), which is a tumor suppressor, to show that it is possible to prevent squamous cell…

TNF was formerly called cachectin and later termed TNF- a. A protein related to TNF originally termed "lymphotoxin" was also discovered which known as TNF-β. TNF-a is synthesized as a prohormone and then processed intracellularly through successive steps of proteolytic cleavage by enzyme called TNF-a converting enzyme (TACE) to its mature form. ( Joost and Francis, 2001) TNF was formerly called cachectin and later termed TNF- a. A protein related to TNF originally termed "lymphotoxin" was also…

In the blood spatter lab my partner and I were assigned with the task to create and carry out our very own experiment. We had to design our procedure, create our own charts, and collect all of the data ourselves. First, we started with the design process. We had to test out various things like the amount of the mock blood solution we wanted to use, the different heights we wanted to use, and the amount of times we wanted to test out the same height. It was a very tedious process to go through,…

Whether its start to end, head to tail, or conception to birth there is countless of things that could go wrong. A genetic disorder is a problem that is caused by one or more malformations in the genetic information. Some can go from being unnoticed and some can be very obvious. Genetic disorders are mostly all very unusual. There is an endlessly amount of genetic disorders that exist, the following are just three out of the thousands. Ectodermal dysplasia is not just a single disorder, it is a…

In a level 4 evidence-based review, researchers examined literature related to the impact of pet therapy on long-term care patients. The purpose was to determine if dog-assisted therapy had a positive impact on quality of life. Sixty-one related studies were found with nineteen only been selected to be analyzed by McMaster’s Critical Review Form—Quantitative Studies (Cipriani, et al., 2013). To limit bias, each researcher read the literature individually, then was reviewed in a group to reach…

the specific site in need of editing and or repair, which results in getting rid of the gene all together, integrating it with another gene or simply modifying it. ZFNs act like scissors. They are proteins or enzymes that break double strand bonds in DNA. According to Sigma-Aldrich, a leading supplier of chemistry lab equipment, ZFNs have many benefits including that they can quickly locate and disrupt or integrate any genetic target site, the mutations they cause are permanent and inheritable,…

respiration which in turns gives the cell that steam power to keep it alive. The mitochondria seem to have the ability to produce its own proteins as well as its very own DNA. The DNA that the mitochondria has, isn’t like the genetic information stored in the nucleus. DNA held inside of the mitochondria is called mtDNA. This type of DNA has a higher rate of mutation. Further down the line, the mitochondria don’t generally depend on the cell for reproduction inquiries. It has the ability to…

Wouldn’t you like to leave your food in the refrigerator for a week and come back and it’s still the same as you left it? A GMO is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. GMOs are very beneficial to the world because of its resistance to insects, environmental protection, and more nutritious foods. Bt cotton is the only GM crop authorised to be grown in India and China. Bt…

Researchers now have the advantage to tell them apart by taking the number of tentacles and size into consideration. Researches have to gather up DNA samples to lead to success. By conducing DNA, scientists are often able to tell them apart really well. The Aequorea Victoria Jellyfish has strong tentacles and a large contractile mouth. There are about more than 150 tentacles in different sizes. The Victoria jellyfish…

I ‘am writing because I'm trying to convince Andy Vidak I want to vote no for a billing for cloning it is not fair for animals and humans as well it very dangerous. In the article “Arguments for and against creating human clones”how they said,the therapeutic cloning the thing they want to stop because it can be dangerous to everyone because if something goes wrong they can de or something bad happens. If they experiment it or an animal to it can die or something bad happens animals. Also…
