The final component of the gut-brain axis that needs to be addressed is the gut microbiome. Each person has a microscopic ecosystem in their intestines, hosting bacteria, fungi, and even viruses and parasites. These microorganisms are involved in the production of neurotransmitters that carry signal...
1.Eliminate HIV/AIDS and other deadly viruses. Viruses spread their harm by replication once they are inside the body of a host. By cutting out the DNA’s ability to reproduce, the virus loses its potency. So far, the feasibility and efficiency of excision of HIV-1 provirus has been pro...

Two rat sarcoma (RAS)-inducing viruses, Harvey's Ras (H-ras) and Kirsten's Ras (K-ras), were identified in the 1960s.32,33 Subsequently, transforming genes were isolated from Figure 1. Current paradigm of lung adenocarcinoma. The majority of lung adenocarcinomas develop through a multi-...
How does a decomposer get energy? What are molecules and how are they important for life? What is the process of mineral nutrients moving through organisms and the environment? Which characteristic of living cells do viruses lack? What is the non-living part of a plant cell?
The extent of membrane fusion was determined at 30 min post-addition of the virus to the cells as the vast majority of the viruses have fused within this time frame (Fig. 1C). At 30 min post-infection, cells were washed and the extent of membrane fusion was determined by measuring...
Since viruses only encode a limited number of proteins, they can only reproduce parasitically in host cells. For this purpose, they exploit cellular machineries and pathways of their host to replicate and spread. After the initial attachment to a host cell, viruses penetrate the membrane and ...
a zone of complex drying phenomena that can induce strong laterals forces25and ‘shear’ damage to proteins3. To test this hypothesis, we changed the geometry of the system and used a dip coater setup with a PP plate that was vertically immersed and withdrawn in order to reproduce the ...
Evolution is a common concept in studies like Biology & Animal Behavior, as it helps to explain how organisms came to survive and thrive in their respective environments. Form and function (or morphology) is key to better understanding evolution....
