Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease with relapse and remission periods. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are two major forms of the disease. IBD imposes a lot of sufferings on the patient and has many consequences; however, the most important is the increased...
Understand what mRNA is. Discover the role of mRNA in protein synthesis and know why mRNA is important. Learn when mRNA is made and how it is produced. Related to this Question What are the functions of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA? What is the conversion of DNA to mRNA?
Genetic expression involves the generation of a molecule of a different nature than the DNA that encodes it. For example, as the central dogma states, the end products responsible for the manifestation of most, but not all, traits are the peptides or proteins ...
However, the endogenous functions of these drug transporters are not well understood. Discussed here is evidence for the roles of ABC and SLC transporters in the handling of diverse substrates, including metabolites, antioxidants, signalling molecules, hormones, nutrients and neurotransmitters. It is ...
Carbohydrates and lipids store energy in the cell, form structural components and act as chemical messengers. Proteins perform similar roles but also set off the chemical reactions that make life possible and affect gene activity. Nucleic acids store the organism's entire genetic code. ...

The total number of protein-coding genes in the human genome is not significantly higher than those in much simpler eukaryotes, despite a general increase in genome size proportionate to the organismal complexity. The large non-coding transcriptome and extensive differential splicing, are increasingly ...
We remark that if we switch the roles of the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis, then some of the odds in the worksheet change, but the ultimate conclusions remain unchanged: So the question of which hypothesis to designate as the null hypothesis and which one to designate as the alt...
