organs (Dunnill). Cell-based therapies are integral in regenerative medicine for the inherent ability of stem cells (SCs) to differentiate into specific cell types (Sedgley & Botero). SCs can be isolated during embryogenesis (embryonic SCs), or in postnatal tissues, and they present two distinctive characteristics: the ability to continuously self-renew and the ability to differentiate into multiple cell types. Embryonic SCs are of particular interest because they have such properties as the…

Science is part of an everyday life. The field of genetics can impact someone’s health, political view, faith, and job. Every day, society is expanding the applications of such potentials to cure genetic disorders, modify organisms, and identifying criminals. Every year, there are over eight million children born with a serious disorder that is caused by genes. “The most common genetic defects include heart disorders, Down syndrome and incorrectly formed backbones and brains. They also include…

Recent investigations have shed light on prenatal and postnatal development of the brain on the acquisition reading, and writing. This theory supports the idea that both genetics and external activation of neural networks are responsible for strengthening some dendritic connections and pruning others (Nelson…

intestinal disorders, or excessive blood donation. Hookworm disease is another important factor in causation of anaemia due to chronic blood loss. The mean daily loss of blood from an Ancylostoma duodenal is 0.15 nil and Necator americans is 0.03ml. In rural areas, post partum haemorrhage on account of poor obstetric spaced pregnancies and prolonged periods of lactation deplete iron stores with each successive pregnancy and this is reflected in the high incidence of anaemia with higher parity.…

antidepressants and spontaneous abortions. They analyzed the progress and results of pregnancies according to The Danish National Hospital Registry (DNHR) from 1 February 1997 to 31 December 2008. Given that Kjaersgaard et al. analyzed prenatal and postnatal data for approximately 12 years, their analysis excluded recalled antidepressants and cases where mothers chose to have an induced abortion. In order to have a case controlled study, Kjaersgaard et al. separated and analyzed women who used…

Additionally, its postnatal roles include maintaining synaptic plasticity, control of neurotransmission, and regulation of nerve-muscle connectivity. GABA-ergic interneurons during adulthood express reelin. Reelin is known to provide a stop signal at the marginal zone for…
