Suppressor

Imagine if we acted on every one of our thoughts. Whether we were angry, sad, or happy, where would we be? Would we have committed murder, suicide, or even helped someone out? Thoughts are a powerful conscious tool that determine the actions we commit. With these thoughts comes danger. If we are careless and do not reflect on our actions, we hold the possibility of committing the extreme. That is why it is important to take time throughout the day to reflect and think our actions thoroughly.…

mean that all family members will have it. Some of the risk factors that play a role in Another possible cause of invasive ductal carcinoma is an inherited genetic mutation, such as mutation to BRCA1 or BRCA2. These genes normally act as tumor suppressors--when a breast cell develops a genetic mutation, BRCA1 and 2 allow the cell to repair this mistake before further cell division, and prevent the cell from accumulating genetic mutations and forming an invasive ductal carcinoma. Patients who…

Dr. Joseph Larkin III is an associate professor in the department of Microbiology and Cell Science at the University of Florida where he teaches Immunology. In addition to teaching, Dr. Larkin oversees multiple immunology research projects involving regulatory T cells and their involvement in autoimmune diseases including type one diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and most recently, uveitis. Dr. Larkin was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia. When asked about how he became interested…

Dehumanization is a key element in genocide.This rang true for true for the Rwandan genocide and the Holocaust, proven by the treatment of the oppressed groups and the obliteration of their entire race. Entire groups were virtually wiped out so the suppressors (Nazi or Tutsis) could benefit because they were thought to be more worthy. They were talked down upon, stolen from and mercilessly murdered, without a sense of rue because the idea of individuality and identity was ignored. They were…

CD4+ T lymphocytes, or cells, are white blood cells that are involved in immune protection. These cells assist B cells in creating antibodies, allow macrophages to establish heightened antimicrobial activity, recruit neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils towards inflammation and infection. CD4+ T cells also produce a group of cytokines, which respectively, trigger an abundance of immune responses. T cell differentiation Originally, Mosmann et al., 1986 reported that CD4 T cells can be…

Hereditary Cancer Cancer is one of the most unknown subjects in the medical world. When it comes, why it comes, and how to effectively contain it is still being studied. Treatments have been available to lessen the cancer, or in some cases, take it away. The medical community has come so far in our knowledge of cancer. Splitting cancer into two specific groups of somatic cancer and hereditary cancer, researchers are getting more information. By understanding how hereditary cancer is formed,…

One of the qualities of lead that make it one of the most highly studied heavy metals is its ability to enter and distributes into the body’s organ systems. Inorganic lead is absorbed by coming into contact with the skin, ingestion, and inhalation.* It is debated whether ingestion of lead or inhalation of lead caused the most significant damage and which one occurs more frequently. The physiological effects of lead can be seen soon after exposure. The uptake of lead in the body is influenced by…

Despite early failures that dismissed gene therapy as a viable means to treat disease and genetic disorder, decades of research have resulted in the development of safe and effective vectors, methods of targeting particular types of cells, and techniques to minimize and manage immune responses. In the process, scientist now know more about the disease-causing genes themselves than ever before, paving the way for the development of successful gene therapy treatments. As of now, people have been…

prevent African Americans from voting. These code prevent blacks from voting by imposing a literacy test or a poll tax, which most blacks could not pass one or the other. And with the KKK, intimidation, murder, and arson was only some of the ways they suppressor blacks rights. But the African Americans had enough of this and soon protested against these injustices. This was only one of the propellants of the civil right movement. After heavy protest, the current president, Lyndon B. Johnson,…
