The mitochondria are tiny organelles that are often overlooked in the treatment of disease. Yet, mitochondrial dysfunction drives the development of – or worsens the symptoms of – some of the most devastating diseases of modern times, including cancer, cardiovascular...
Red blood cells' biconcave shape, lack of a nucleus, and few organelles provide: Which type of cell inhabits the extra-cellular matrix? a. macrophages b. fibroblasts c. myocytes Chylomicrons which have been transported out of the basolateral side of an epithelial...
Internal components of the cell which are living in nature form the part of the protoplasm in the cell which is surrounded by the plasma membrane. This includes the cytoplasm, nucleus, and organelles which are the main components associated with all the cellular functions. ...
Vimentin plays an important role in supporting the intracellular organelles, especially the nucleus, with filaments extending from the nuclear periphery to the cell membrane, anchoring the nucleus in the cytoplasm of the cells [14]. Notwithstanding, in non-erythroid cells, vimentin’s role in ...
Autophagy is present in cells at a basal level but it is also activated at a higher level as a response to stress1,2. Upon autophagy induction, an isolation membrane (phagophore) sequesters a small portion of the cytoplasm, including soluble materials and organelles, to form the autophagosome...
Here we will focus on three examples of infections that are important in pregnancy and early childhood: SARS-CoV-2 virus, Zika virus, and Mycoplasma species. The basic structural characteristics of these infectious agents will be examined, along with their general pathogenic mechanisms. Coronavirus ...
There are a variety of cells involved in immune responses, each responsible for their own duties. However, these cells must work together for a comprehensive response. Answer and Explanation: Antigen presenting cells engulf a pathogen...
