vertebrates. The studies of HOX genes can lead to discoveries and to the identities of human malformations associated with them. According to Shane C. Quinonez and Jeffrey W. Innis in Human HOX gene Disorders, HOX genes can act as both tumor growth suppressors or as enhancers thus leading to developmental disorders. Synpolydactyly, autism, pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia syndrome, and ovarian cancer are all linked to HOX gene mutations. HOX genes were first recognized through mutations…

intervenes with the effects of miR374a on B-catenin activation. WIF1 acts as Wnt inhibitor that binds directly to wnt. Because of this binding site the joining of the Wnt ligands to the frizzled receptor is constrained. WIF1 functions as a tumor suppressor and the functional loss of it could spark Wnt/B-catenin signaling and lead to tumor invasion and metastasis. PTEN is also involved in tumor metastasis through B-catenin signaling. PTEN also supplies the suppression of tumor metastasis and…

Papillomaviruses are thought to have two methods of replication: • Stable replication of the episomal genome in basal cells • Runaway, or vegetative, replication in more differentiated cells to generate progeny virus. “Viral multiplication is confined to the nucleus. Consequently, infected cells exhibit a high degree of nuclear atopia. Koilocytosis (from Greek koilos “empty”) describes a combination of perinuclear clearing (halo) with a pyknotic or shrunken (raisinoid) nucleus and is a…

each other out and subsequently, contribute to a healthy, normal functioning cellular environment. Mutations in even a single gene that participates in this ‘gas and brake’ system, may lead to cancer. The PTEN gene has been identified as a tumour suppressor; it contributes to the ‘brake’ mechanism. Mutations in PTEN essentially cause a ‘brake failure’, resulting in uncontrollable cell division which leads to eventual tumour formation and cancer development in different organs, including the…

Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog is also known as PTEN, it is a phosphates encoding gene. PTEN gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 10 at the position 23.3. PTEN was first discovered in 1997, and it is a tumour suppressor gene (Li & Sun 1997, Li et al. 1997, Steck et al. 1997) it helps to regulate cell division. They function as a lipid phosphates to regulate signal transduction pathways, such as the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3k), protein kinase B (AKT) . The activity of its lipid…

capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following: a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, a thumbhole stock, a folding or telescoping stock, a grenade launcher or flare launcher, a flash suppressor, a forward pistol grip” (Kamala D. Harris). Anything that can detach a magazine quick and easy without a “bullet button” that feeds ammunition into a fire arm illegal. Harris sets up the new state law for California in an organized fashion,…

involvement of the facial nerve and will thereby help preserve muscle bulk, while at the same time helping the patient’s psychological state by allowing them to see their muscles contract. Those who oppose electrical stimulation indicate that it is a suppressor of neuronal sprouting and therefore should not be used (Goodman and Fuller 880). Electrical stimulation, if used, is to be stopped immediately when muscle fatigue is shown. Another form of physical therapy for Bell’s palsy is facial…

skeleton, genitalia, and limbs. The study of HOX genes can lead to the identities of a number of human malformations. According to Shane C. Quinonez and Jeffrey W. Innis’ article “Human HOX Gene Disorders,” HOX genes can act as both tumor growth suppressors and enhancers that lead to a variety of developmental disorders. Synpolydactyly, autism, pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia syndrome,…

common inherited syndromes corresponding with colorectal cancer are Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) and Hereditary non-polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch Syndrome (Mayo Clinic 2013). A change in the APC gene causes FAP. APC is a tumor suppressor gene that generally regulates cell growth; this mutation prevents ACP from stopping cell growth (American Cancer Society, 2014).HNPCC is caused by mutations in genes that help cell repair in DNA, MLH1, MSH2, MLH3,MSH6, PMS1, or PMS, this…

Some people rely on it for almost everything, including studying. Does it really help, or is it just an excuse to listen to your new favorite hits? Music, everyone listens to it at one point or another whether it’s classical, country, rock, or any other genre, is it really helping, or is it hurting you? Music has helped alzheimer’s patients in the past, so can it help students with healthy brain activity to study? Using music in classrooms is a controversy to say the least, but one…
