Stem Cells
In the many years that biotechnology has existed, there has never been a greater biotechnological discovery such as stem cells. Discovered by scientists Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till, although it has not reached its maximum potential, stem cell research has already begun to dramatically affect human life. Stem cells can be described as “…undifferentiated cells, which retain the ability to differentiate into other cell types.” This means that stem cells can become any

Cell Article - Stem Cell Research Derived from Clinical Trials
- Cell Article Stem Cell Research Derived From Clinical Trials: During the history of medicine removal of diseased tissue was the only option. As a greater understanding of how the body functions was obtained it led to synthetic replacements and implants being used to help with this loss. As people are now living longer there has become a need for replacement of tissues due to the wear and the limited life-span of the implants. Using

The Effect of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on Chick Embryo Fibroblast Cells and Its Relation to Colon Carcinogenesis
The Effect of Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on chick embryo fibroblast cells and its relation to colon carcinogenesis Abstract NSAID's are chemopreventive mediators of colon carcinogenesis, although their molecular pathway is unknown. Previous studies suggest that NSAID's best known effect is its inhibition of prostaglandin, a lipid that is derived from fatty acids. To study the effect of NSAID's on chick fibroblast cells, we sought to apply aspirin (a common NSAID) to these cells in

Sickle Cell Anemia
Sickle Cell anemia is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders, or a collection of recessive genetic disorders characterized by a hemoglobin variant called Hb S. Normal red blood cells are round like doughnuts, and they move through small blood tubes in the body to deliver oxygen. Sickle red blood cells become hard, sticky and shaped like sickles used to cut wheat. When these hard and pointed red cells go through the small

A Critical Examination of ’my Lover in White’
After reading "My Lover in White," for the first time, I thought of a poem written by Shakespeare that seemed to be in some ways similar in content. The mention of the fair maidens outside the gate and the poet's observation that his love is not with the rest reminds me of Shakespeare's Sonnet CXXX.

The Cell as the Basic Unit of Life
Like cement sets the foundation for a house, the cell theory sets the foundation for biology. Schleiden and Schwann proposed the cell theory, which states that the cell is the basic unit of life and that new cells arise only from the reproduction of already existing cells via cell cycle, in 1839. Since the cell is the structural and functional unit of life as the house is for a community, without the house the community

Sickle Cell Anemia
Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder, characterized primarily by chronic anemia and periodic episodes of pain. The underlying problem involves hemoglobin, a component of the red cells in the blood. The hemoglobin molecules in each red blood cell carry oxygen from the lungs to the body organs and tissues and bring back carbon dioxide to the lungs. In sickle cell anemia, the hemoglobin is defective. After the hemoglobin molecules give

Drug Resistance Mechanisms in Cancer Cells
INTRODUCTION A major obstacle in the successful treatment of cancer is the development of resistance mechanisms to drug treatment. Various cellular changes that have been implicated in the development of drug resistance in cancer cells include: the increased expressions of P-glycoprotein (a multidrug transport protein) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP-1); increased levels of the cellular detoxification protein, glutathione; and changes in the expression of apoptosis associated proteins such as Bcl-2, FasL and p53, which generally
