(Move to treatment??) Researchers have discovered that the fight against invading B. anthracis begins with the first infected cell. They found that the impacted macrophages will instantly communicate with other immune cells to warn them of the distress and develop a strategy in order to survive. The key signaling molecule that is involved in the survival strategy is adenosine triphosphate or ATP, which is a basic currency of energy transfer used by all organisms for various biochemical processes…

Calcium is the richest mineral in our body holding many functions during the human development. Ca2+ controls many cellular processes such as: metabolism, gene transcription, fertilisation, proliferation, hypertrophy, secretion, exocytosis, cardiac ventricular mechanisms, neuronal dopaminergic pacemaker mechanisms, contraction, coordination and thinking, (Rubin, 2016). These processes can occur anywhere between a few microseconds to hours to complete. The basal Ca2+ concentration of…

new writing experience for not only myself but to create a literary inspiration to bring these two together. Both pieces have symbolic examples, and multiple characters that stood out, but the father figures in Fences the play, and the film Smoke Signals defined what to do and not to do as a father. Both delivered an unconditional love, whether it was from a distance but one father was in the picture entirely and the other left his son at a young age. The rolls played between Arnold and Troy are…

The multifunctional protein, beta-catenin (CTNNB1) acts on many critical roles in the cell life cycle, including cell differentiation, proliferation and cell-cell contact (Ozwan et al., 1989), CTNNB1 plays a central role in canonical WNT signaling pathway to success the gene transcription process (Clevers and Nusse., 2012). Regulation and degradation of CTNNB1 take place at the cellular level through phosphorylation of serine and/or threonine amino acid residues. Specific kinase proteins…

The impression of memories, dreams and voice is important in this short story because they are all tied together. Within the three stories the idea of the reservation remains the same as well as the fact the community of Indians feels they do not belong to the society, which they are in. The idea of memories, dreams and voice are factored in both short stories and the film. We see throughout the story and film when Thomas is telling the stories as well as when we see the flashbacks in the movie.…

It surely was not easy for a young guy named Victor. In the movie Smoke Signals, Victor faces a lot of difficulties of emotion when his father left his mother and himself. He always had this anger inside of him because of the wondering why his father left. Victor never liked when someone brought up the topic of his father, he…

Inverse agonism has great potential as a possible therapeutic treatment option in the future” Inverse agonism: Inverse agonism is phenomenon associated with G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), in which inverse agonist binds to the same receptor as an agonist but induces an opposite pharmacological response to the agonist. For inverse agonist response the receptor must have an intrinsic activity in the absence of any ligand1,2. How inverse agonist act? According to the two state receptor theory,…

The dopamine active transporter is a 12 integral membrane-spanning protein that moves the neurotransmitter dopamine out of the synapse back into cytosol terminating therefore the signal of the neurotransmitter. The dopamine reuptake via DAT is the primary mechanism from which dopamine is cleared from synapses. Its function requires the binding and cotransport of two Na+ ions and one Cl− ion with the dopamine substrate. The driving force for DAT-mediated dopamine reuptake is the ion concentration…

Late-life mortality is diminished in these model organisms, suggesting that life span is regulated by dilps secreted from these pancreatic β cells. c. In specific target tissues, dilps activate the insulin-like growth factor receptor (InR). InR signals through chico, a homolog of the mammalian insulin receptor substrates, PI3 kinase (PI3K), as well as Akt. d. PTEN phosphatase provokes PI3K activity and therefore IIS. IIS affects gene expression by causing inactivation of the Forkhead Box O…

proteins like NSF, SNAPs (soluble NSF attachment proteins), and SNAREs including SNAP25, VAMP and syntaxin. With these identified proteins, Rothman laboratory developed the SNARE hypothesis describing a model of SNAREs involvement in vesicle targeting and fusion. Their model explains that a transport vesicle (v-SNARE) and a target membrane (t-SNARE) with the aid of NSF, SNAPs and other yet unknown proteins bring the v-SNARE in close proximity to the t-SNARE facilitating membrane fusion (Sollner…
