Drug delivery systems have been developed targeting tumor cells and chondroitin sulphate, an important precursor molecule for interactions with molecules acting in the extracellular matrix or on the cell surface. The mechanism involves stimulating the formation of proteoglycans and inhibiting the creation of...
Animals are classified based on their characteristics. They are eminent fromalgae, plants, and fungus where rigid cell walls are absent. Some are also heterotrophic, in general, they digest their food within the internal chambers which again distinguish them from algae and plants. Another elite cha...
Genetic changes, known as somatic mutations, occur in all cells throughout the life of an organism. This is a natural process, with cells acquiring around 20 to 50 mutations per year in humans. Most of these mutations will be harmless, but some of them can start a cell on the path to ...
Cholesterol: Plant cells do not have cholesterol whereas animal cells do have them on their cell membrane. Cell division: During the telophase of mitosis, a cell plate is formed as the plant cell begins its division. In animal cells, the cell pinches in the center to form two cells; no ...
thus possibly eliminating a complex system from consideration. Cell division by mitosis is arguably the most conserved process one can find in biology and the traditional drugs for treating cancer act by interfering with mitosis. (Newer drugs act on targeted pathways as opposed to the cell cycle....
