Views: 88 - Exercise And Fasting Help Cells Clear Defective Proteins - by Submitted on Mar 17, 2020 from Thomas SchmittFailure of a cell’s protein processing mechanism can lead to the accumulation of misfolded proteins, which can block cells, interfere with their function, and accelerate the development of diseases over time, including neurodegenerative diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis And Alzheimer’s. In ...
Views: 80 - Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) Manufacture Platform - by Submitted on Dec 29, 2019 from Thomas Schmitt1. What Is Virus-Like Particles? Virus-like particles (VLPs) consist of all or part of a protein that forms a viral capsid but lacks a genomic material, similar to the structure of a virus, but cannot replicate in cells, precluding any possibility of reversing mutations or pathogen infection. ...
Views: 103 - Mechanism of MDP As a Vaccine Adjuvant Causing Fever - by Submitted on Dec 29, 2019 from Thomas SchmittThe addition of adjuvants to vaccine formulations to enhance the immune response to vaccine antigens by enhancing antigen processing and presentation by antigen presenting cells (APCs) is a common practice for current vaccine formulations. However, since many adjuvants are composed of microbial ...
Views: 116 - The Intestinal Bacteria-AKK - by Submitted on Nov 15, 2019 from Thomas SchmittWhat creatures still live in our bodies? This problem seems simple, but our understanding is not clear for a long time in history. In recent years, researchers have successively isolated human symbiotic microbes, which actually constitute most of the cells in our body. In human daily activities, ...
Views: 173 - B Cell Immunophenotyping - by Submitted on Dec 16, 2019 from Thomas Schmitt1.The background of B cells B lymphocytes, abbreviated as B cells, are differentiated from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Most of the B cells that exert effector function live in the body for a short period of time, only a few days to several weeks, but their memory cells can ...

Views: 165 - The Lysosomal Storage Disease - by Submitted on Sep 07, 2019 from Thomas SchmittLysosomes are a membrane-bound organelle found in many animal cells. They are spherical vesicles containing hydrolases that break down many biomolecules. The pH of the lysosome in the range of 4.5 to 5.0 is optimal for the enzyme involved in the hydrolysis. Lysosomes perform waste treatment ...
Views: 140 - What is the Root of Sinusitis? - by Submitted on Sep 07, 2019 from Thomas SchmittSinusitis, also known as sinus infection, is a symptom caused by inflammation of the sinus mucosa. Common symptoms include snot, stuffy nose, and facial pain. Other signs and symptoms may include fever, headache, poor sense of smell, sore throat and cough. Sinusitis can be caused by infections, ...
Views: 203 - The Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Disease - by Submitted on Aug 08, 2019 from Thomas SchmittThe endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a very important multi-functional organelle in eukaryotic cells. While completing the basic physiological functions, the endoplasmic reticulum becomes a pivotal platform for coordinated signal transduction with its large membrane structure. The endoplasmic ...
Views: 197 - Future Tumor Hemorrhage Therapy - by Submitted on Aug 08, 2019 from Thomas SchmittThe rapid proliferation of tumor cells requires a large amount of nutrients, which requires the formation of new blood vessels in the tumor environment to meet this need. Humans discovered that tumor blood vessels expanded and grew rapidly in around a hundred years ago. Later, the dependence ...
Views: 206 - The Circadian Rhythm - by Submitted on Jul 08, 2019 from Thomas SchmittIn light-sensitive higher organisms, the biological clock is a set of functional systems formed by photoreceptor neurons, endocrine systems, and gene timing oscillation expression regulation. It enables the organism to form a rhythm of day and night from microscopic levels of gene expression, ...
Views: 203 - The Tumor Treating Fields You Don't Know - by Submitted on Jul 08, 2019 from Thomas SchmittElectric field therapy is a non-invasive method of tumor treatment that uses alternating electric fields of specific frequency and intensity to selectively destroy mitosis in cancer cells. Electric field therapy can target proteins that are critical to the cancer cell cycle, leading to mitotic ...
Views: 173 - An Overview of Circulating Tumor DNA - by Submitted on Jun 02, 2019 from Thomas SchmittCirculating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a kind of free DNA released by tumor cells after necrosis and apoptosis. Because it circulates in the blood, the detection of ctDNA can reflect the tumor state in time. In 1940, Mandel and Métais first discovered the presence of free cellular nucleic acids in the ...
Views: 195 - What is Mitochondrial Disease? - by Submitted on Jun 02, 2019 from Thomas SchmittMitochondria are a subcellular structure prevalent in eukaryotic cells and the most important source of energy in cells. Most tissue cells in the human body rely on oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria to obtain the energy needed to maintain their metabolism. Mitochondria not only play an ...
Views: 176 - What is Hippocampus? - by Submitted on Apr 23, 2019 from Thomas SchmittThe hippocampus is one of the most studied parts of the brain (the cerebral cortex) in the central nervous system of mammals. Because the shape is similar to the hippocampus, it is called the hippocampus. In the human brain, the hippocampus is mainly responsible for learning and memory. The ...
Views: 227 - What is Dengue fever? - by Submitted on Apr 23, 2019 from Thomas SchmittDengue fever is a global acute infectious disease caused by dengue virus (DV). It is widely spread in tropical and subtropical regions. Its clinical manifestations include high fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, sometimes accompanied by rash, lymphadenopathy and leukopenia. Symptoms, when ...
Views: 250 - Why Use CRISPR/Cas9 Antibodies? - by Submitted on Mar 30, 2019 from Thomas SchmittThe CRISPR-Cas9 system has proven to be a powerful tool for genome editing, allowing for the precise modification of specific DNA sequences within a cell. Many efforts are currently underway to use the CRISPR-Cas9 system for the therapeutic correction of human genetic diseases. The best ...
Views: 273(1 vote) - How Important Fungal Antigens Test Are - by Submitted on Mar 30, 2019 from Thomas SchmittFungus is the member in a big group which are made by eukaryotic organisms containing microorganisms. Most of them are not detrimental to human body, but some will lead to fungal disease. The reason is that biological compounds will be produced by fungi and some of compounds are harmful to ...
