Telomere

Considering multiple etiological triggers, the age associated changes start up with Initiator trigger mechanisms subsequently followed by damaging the protective reactionary shielding mechanism, both the initiator and the reactionary set of molecular mechanisms regulate multiple pathways, leading to the terminal molecular mechanisms - the two most significant molecular pathways involved are – the final gateways which when lethally affected send the cell to the grave yard. The terminal End point…

Possible Modifications of Central Dogma of molecular Biology Introduction The central dogma of molecular biology is describes the transfer of genetic information within a biological system and was first stated by Francis Crick in 1956. The central dogma is the flow of genetic information as ‘’DNA makes the RNA and RNA makes the protein.’’All biological cells with few exceptions in some follow this rule. This flow takes place through three fundamental processes: replication, transcription and…

line next to the gene name. The Arrows are showing the location it is mapped in other populations. Its locations are inferred based on position of flanking markers. The location of centromeres is indicated by the ovals within the linkage group. The telomeres are indicated by the circles at ends of linkage groups. Breakpoints of chromosomal rearrangements distinguishing the taxa are indicated by the double squiggles. The existence of homologous gene between the populations shows that Poaceace is…

Introduction Stress has been observed as an important correlate of health, and from the psychoneuroimmunology point of view, stress could be a primary as well as secondary source of poor health (Dunn, 2014 and Lai,Liao, Huang, Chen, & Peng, 2013). Consequently, this paper investigates the relationship between stress and illnesses/diseases using psychoneuroimmunology approach. Stress and Development of illness/diseases - Psychoneuroimmunology Approach Psychoneuroimmunology is concerned with the…

Previous studies have established that the gene responsible for Huntington’s disease (HD) is located in chromosome 4 – labeled as 4p16.3. Early symptoms of the disease include chorea or involuntary movements, loss of balance, as well as cerebral atrophy1. Although the disease has a late onset, juvenile form of the disease is also probable. The disease is manifested in children and teenagers and is characterized by transmission from an affected father (paternal transmission effect), unusually…

Pediatric cancer is among the leading causes of death for children today. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "the most prevalent cancers seen in childhood are leukemia’s and brain and central nervous system cancer. Within the United States, these cancers account for the highest incidence and death rates among children today" (2014). Research shows genetic factors play a significant role in causing a variety of pediatric cancers. This paper will provide research and…

Human cloning has become a more widely debated topic in the scientific field, medical field, and society. It started out as cloning animals, and now it is coming to the point where cloning may be used on humans in the near future. This raises concern for many people around the world who are totally against it. It also brings hope for those in the medical field who are searching for ways to treat and cure certain diseases in their patients. The major thing preventing the cloning of humans is the…

of dramatically extending human life, curing cancer seems to fall into this Google X equation. Though Page stated immortality is not a goal, this is nothing less than what kings and alchemy sought in the past. Seems that Planarian worms and their telomeres (energy carriers within chromosomes, which serve as a protective cap) hold the key to immortality and has been deemed to be a journey worth researching. With the forward progression of advanced information and bio-tech technology increasing…

Biotechnology is a specific type of technology based off biology. With a wide variety of treatments it produces (over 250) its basic function is to better technology, products and treatments to help improve the human life, agriculture, energy and many other functions in the world. The earliest biotechnologist’s were farmers who started cross breeding plants and animals to find different types of species in both. Not knowing where these experiments will take them, but testing them out and seeing…

Since Watson and Crick unraveled the structure of DNA, much controversy has sparked regarding biotechnology and its ethics. According to BBC, biotechnology includes “any use of science or technology to alter the characteristics of a particular breed or animal.”1 Many believe that biotechnology will have unexpected adverse consequences and some claim that it is tampering with God’s creations. Contrary, many scientists counterargue that it has shown potential in producing unprecedented vaccines,…
