to have their lives saved by human organ transplantation.1 As a result of this shortage, there has been a tremendous demand for research in alternative methods of organ transplantation. Private companies are racing to develop these technologies with an estimated market of six billion dollars.2 Xenotransplantation, or cross-species organ transplantation, appears to be the most likely solution in the near future, and cloned pigs are the main candidates. Pigs and humans have remarkable similarities
type III were 9,3and 10 in respectively and all viruses were sabin type only (There is no wild types of poliovirus were isolated). INTRODUCTION Poliovirus belong to picornavirus ,despite the damage it caused to nerve tissue the poliovirus has been placed in the enteroviruses family of viruses that live in the gastrointestinal system.(1) . It is formed of single strand of RNA enclosed in a protein coat that protects it from environment attack. Humans are thought to be Poliovirus `s only host, which
Immunoglobulin (Ig) or Antibody (AB) is a protein that is in the shape of a Y that is produced by plasma cells and use by the immune system. These proteins are then utilized to identify and attack bacteria and viruses. Immunoglobulin is clearly a very important protein in our human bodies as well as being very integral to our survival and our ability to fend off foreign molecules. This has lead to a lot of deep research regarding this protein. By knowing the proteins exact structure and functions
impacts a variety of people, places, and animals in the world. The articles reviewed discuss the different cases where avian influenza outbreak has impacted a major area and how they are ridding the virus. The articles vary from how the virus affects humans, to how it affects other animals, and the precautions used by different areas if the virus encounters. Conducted Research In the article “Avian Influenza: An Agricultural Perspective,” Andrea Morgan (2006) researched the impact avian influenza has
growth of Microorganisms? Aya Zbedah Ballard High School The purpose of this project is to see which preservative will either slow down the growth of bacteria or speed up the growth using the three most common preservatives: sugar, salt and, vinegar. Humans usually have a problem keeping their food safe and clean at the same time to prevent from getting sick. But what they don’t know is that the way they preserve their food can be very dangerous. Since the drying effect of salt has been used for thousands

Pollution of waterways has significant implications on human health, especially from a pathogen perspective. Strategies are used to minimize pollution and the impact on human health. However, these methods can be limited by sensitivity, quantification, geographical differences and issues of cost which can limit how many markers
with their natural counterparts at fighting many forms of bacteria and viruses including E coli and S. aureus, (comparisons of data can be found in the results section below). Escherichia coli K-12 (E coli) – E coli k-12 is a gram negative, facultative anaerobe capable of performing respiratory and fermentative metabolism. It belongs to the taxonomic family “Enterobacteriaceae”, and is mostly found in the intestinal tract of humans and animals. E coli is widely used in laboratory experiments, due to
of transplantations in the human body. Artificial capillaries present both an area of opportunity and concern due to the pertinent role that they engage in: the delivering of oxygen and nutrients as well as eliminating waste. Numerous rationales have propagated the idea of artificial capillaries into reality such as the creation of artificial capillaries, improvement in the patient’s ability to self care, and improvement the body’s ability to be able to combat viruses and illnesses. Through a voluminous
¬¬¬Throughout the duration of humanity, illnesses have affected millions of lives. To combat these viruses, the study of medicine was born and since quality of life has improved drastically. From simple herbalism used by ancient apothecaries and shamans, all the way up to advanced synthetic antibiotic tablets used today, medicine is evolving. As such this snowball effect in our understanding of anatomy and medicine seems to continue in its upward trend as scientists are beginning to experiment with
Semester 2014 Unknown Report Introduction The definition of Microbiology is the branch of science that deals with microorganisms. Microorganisms are very small organisms that require the use of a micro scope to visualize them, which are bacterium, viruses, fungi (the most common) and others which are not so common such as parasites. Microorganisms are an essential element to the field of microbiology because it allows researchers in the field to find specific illness caused by a specific organism,
