phages are simple organisms that consist of a core of genetic material (nucleic acid) surrounded by aproteincapsid. The nucleic acid may be eitherDNAorRNAand may be double-stranded or single-stranded. There are three basic structural forms of phage: an icosahedral (20-sided) head with a tail...
There are many types of organisms that are labeled as disease-carrying organisms. They include a variety of microscopic and macroscopic organisms that, when infecting a person, can cause disease. It's important to note that not all organisms within the following categories are disease-causing. For...
Biological pathways play a crucial role in the organization and regulation of metabolic processes in living organisms. They facilitate the efficient processing of molecules; control the activity of crucial enzymes; integrate various signals; synchronize numerous cellular functions; and play a role in cell...
The appropriateness of this is based on the fact that organisms of the animal kingdom produce the same neurotransmitters. In fact stinging insects release them in their venoms. The proposal here is that insect larval parasites acting on the human brain and body may release such neurotransmitters ...
At the heart of CAR-T therapy are theimmune system's T cells, crucial elements of the body's defense force. T cells respond to threats such as bacteria, viruses andcancerous cellsby coordinating an immune assault and killing foreign organisms and infected or cancerous cells. ...
is a well-studied opportunistic pathogen that has demonstrated an ability to disrupt host cells through extensive QS-controlled protease production41,42,43,44. This has profound implications for organisms—such as corals—that rely on protective mucosal barriers as part of their innate immunity. Altho...
Attacks disease causing micro organisms Carries oxygen and needed materials to the cells Carries waste products, like CO2 away from cells. What is the function of the atria? To receive blood that comes into the heart. What does the pacemaker of the heart do? Adjust the heart rate to respond...
Because E3 structures were previously available only from unicellular organisms, speculations regarding the molecular mechanisms of E3 deficiency were based on homology models. The current hE3 structures show directly that the disease-causing mutations occur at three locations in the human enzyme: the ...
