The authors in this article are trying to better understand how information is processed in the brain, especially the diseased brain. In order to research this information there first needs to be a precise method of spatio-temporal recording of electrical activity in larger neuronal circuits and individual neurons. The authors hypothesized that fluorescent indicators would be useful tools in recording brain activity because they would allow monitoring of a genetically defined neuronal circuit and

Introduction If the endothelium were to be considered an organ, it would be without a doubt the largest, with its 6 trillion cells, area of 5000m2, and 1kg weight. With knowledge of the endothelium stemming back to the early 1600s with William Harvey’s work on the circulation as a closed circuit with a pump and Marcello Malpighi’s observations of blood capillaries, the focus over the next 400 years was mainly on the pump itself, leading to the creation of a major clinical field – cardiology. Although

The Origin, Etiology and Treatment of Syphilis “And this disease of which I speak, this syphilis too will pass away and die out, but later it will be born again and be seen again by our grandchildren just as in bygone ages we must believe it was observed by our ancestors.” – Fracastoro, 1538 1 It has been written about, debated over, and has affected every culture it has come into contact with. One can only be amazed when examining the microscopic syphilis bacterium. It traveled the seas of 1492

HIV Infection Definition HIV infection is a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The condition gradually destroys the immune system, which makes it harder for the body to fight infections. Most people infected with HIV eventually develop AIDS. These individuals mostly die from opportunistic infections or malignancies associated with the progressive failure of the immune system. HIV progresses to AIDS at a variable rate affected by viral, host, and environmental factors;

E5 Inhibition for HPV Antiviral Development MEDS 523 Final Paper Alice Chang Background Epidemiology of HPV Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA virus that infects the keratinocytes of human skin and mucous membrane. It is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world. An estimate of 79 million people in the United States are currently infected with HPV(1). With over 100 types of the virus, at least 40 types can infect the genitalia, mouth and throat. Particularly, HPV-16 and

Immune responses against CMV in AIDS patients BY, NELL NAMITHA NARASAPPA ABSTRACT According to WHO there are 35 million people globally who are affected with HIV and one in seven people are unaware of being infected. Therefore it becomes an increasingly important concern to target and cure this epidemic on a global scale. That is not the end of the story though; immunocompromised individuals are even more susceptible to opportunistic HIV infections. These pathogens, which come

Zellweger syndrome (ZS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), and infantile Refsum disease (IRD) are the four main peroxisomal disorders classified by the absence, or a defect in, specific peroxisomal proteins. Zellweger syndrome is considered the most severe of the four most studied peroxisomal disorders, causing a faster and earlier death. Lacking or having defective peroxisomal proteins is especially problematic due to the many functions specific to this
