types in vivo. According to Compton (2004), the infection of a fibroblast begins with an initial tethering of a virion to cell surface - heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Then the HCMV glycoprotein, gB, is directly fused to cellular receptors such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and cellular integrins occurs at neutral pH (Compton, 1992). The fusion with the envelope is followed by attachment of the virion and release into the cytoplasm (Roizman & Pellet, 2001). HCMV entry into epithelial and

What is brain-gut axis : The brain-gut axis refers to bi-directional communication between gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system, often involving intestinal microbiota. It involves nerves, hormones and other molecules such as cytokines and other products of immune system. Function: The function of brain-gut axis is to monitor and integrate gastrointestinal functions and to mediate impact of stress and emotions on gut. Many emotions are reflected in terms of changes in gut physiology. It

“Excluding non-melanoma skin cancer, the global cancer incidence has increased from 12.7 million in 2008 to 14.1 million in 2012, and the expected trend is an increase in new cases to close to 25 million over the next two decades” (De Mello, Tavares, Mountzios). Now, in 2016, the trend is continuing to climb. With that number of people being diagnosed with cancer, it’s just common sense that we need more and more people to help them fight the cancer. Those who are diagnosed are dependent on oncologists

3.7.1 Familial melanoma Familial melanoma is a genetic or inherited condition. This means that the risk of having a melanoma can be passed from generation to generation in a family. Ordinarily, each cell has two copies of each gene: one inherited from the mother and one inherited from the father. Familial melanoma follows a dominant inheritance pattern, in which case a mutation happens in only one copy of the gene. As every cell has two copies of each gene, it means that a parent can potentially

What are the risk factors of breast cancer? (2014, September 9) Other risks include not having children or having them later in life, certain kinds of birth controls, using hormone therapy after menopause, not breastfeeding, alcohol, and being overweight or obese. Everyone

reported to be involved in cancer and be a promising therapeutic target. [26-27] Thereby, miR-193a-5p might be also involved in lung cancer through similar approach. Recently, Tubulin tyrosine ligase widespread loss has been found during the tumor growth, which suggests tubulin tyrosine ligase activity may be involved in the regulation of tumor cells [28]. As a result, tubulin tyrosine ligase activity might be related miR-193a-5p, which might exert effects in lung cancer. Nevertheless, more studies

Another issue that was reported in Saudi Arabia was that the majority of breast cancer cases were presented in the advanced stages as 39.6% and16.9% were in regional (III) and distant (IV) stages respectively (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health Saudi Cancer Registry, 2012). That was supported by a Saudi retrospective study carried out by Rudat, Brune-Erbe et al. (2012) who compared data of breast cancer patients in one of the tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia with American publications derived

Targeted gene suppression by anti-sense DNA and siRNA exhibit many important preclinical results for a variety of diseases, such as many forms of cancer,genetic disorders,and macular degeneration.The skin is an attractive site for the delivery of nucleic acid-based drugs for the treatment of skin disorders.Topical application of nucleic acids have many therapeutic effects for suppressing genes in the skin.In this paper,scientists introduced spherical nucleic acid nanoparticle conjugates(SNA-NCs)

Name: Instructor’s Name: Course: Date: Cell Adhesion Molecules Introduction Cells are independent units of life. However, when a cell becomes part of an organism, it becomes part of a tissue and organ system. Cells in a tissue are joined to each other and to the extracellular matrix (ECM) by cell junctions. There are three kinds of cell junctions: Occluding junctions, anchoring junctions and communication junctions. Occluding junctions occur in the epithelium where the adjacent cells are so tightly
