The neutrality zone: A 7 on the pH scale is neither acidic nor basic, and considered neutral. Distilled water is generally neutral, but other types of water are not. An interesting (kind of gross) fact is that human blood is very close to neutral (just slightly basic) and often has a...
In human studies it has been shown that beta glucan has an immunomodulatory effect and can increase the efficacy of the biological therapies in cancer patients. In this prospective clinical trial we assessed in vivo effects of short term oral beta glucan administration on peripheral blood monocytes ...
To investigate whether the duplicated region of human WRN affects premature aging, we first delivered the recombinant proteins into WRN cells for 24 h and observed the changing phenotypes. WRN-R2 induced the expression of H3K9me3 and reduced the expression of p16INK4A in WRN cells (Fig.3A,B,...
for the generation of chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells, the precursors of which are usually obtained from blood33. To investigate if the ALFA system can be applied to enrich live blood cells, human peripheral
s fluids and tissues. It is measured on a pH scale that ranges from 0 to 14. The more acidic a solution is, the lower its pH value. The more alkaline it is, the higher the pH number is. The acidity or alkalinity of different solutions, including human blood but also many others ...

reuteri was found to be the most predominant Lactobacillus in the intestine of a large number of animals, including 40 human individuals, it has been suggested that L. reuteri is the ‘universal enterolactobacillus’ (Mitsuoka, 1992; Fujisawa et al., 1996; Casas & Dobrogosz, 2000). The ...
the biochemical effects of NO3−occur in the human body as follows: (a) NO3−is converted to NO2−under reducing conditions, (b) haemoglobin (Hb) combines with NO2−to form methemoglobin, (c) the effect of methemoglobin reduces the oxygen supply in red blood cells and drops the ...
cholerae is a human pathogen, it is autochthonous to the aquatic environment where it persists in the absence of a human host [1] and exists as either a free-living bacterium or in association with zooplankton. Irrespective of their toxin-producing ability, V. cholerae O1 rarely occurs in ...
Since human capital is often the most important national asset for developing countries, the indirect costs of COPD may represent a serious threat to their economies. Social Burden Since mortality offers a limited perspective on the human burden of a disease, it is desirable to find other ...
