Neurodegenerative diseases typically involve deposits of inclusion bodies that contain abnormal aggregated proteins. Therefore, it has been suggested that protein aggregation is pathogenic. However, several lines of evidence indicate that inclusion bodie
What Are the Different Types of Circulatory System Disorders? What Is a Clotting Pathway? What Is the Function of Coagulation? What Causes Thrombin Gene Mutation? What Are the Different Types of Coagulation Disorders? What is a Coagulation Cascade?
High doses of quercetin (over 1,000 milligrams per day) have been reported to cause kidney damage. Animal studies suggest a potential risk of tumor promotion in estrogen-dependent tumors. Also, there is a concern that a byproduct of quercetin may lead to a loss of protein function. ...
Abnormal clotting of the blood may lead to potentially fatal problems such as a stroke or pulmonary embolism. Explore the causes and...
What causes sickle cell hemoglobin? Which macromolecules make up the plasma membrane? What produces lymphocytes and monocytes? Do platelets have mitochondria? What are neutrophil extracellular traps made of? What is pepsin? Discuss how clots are formed and what can be done to stop the clotting p...
What causes veins to collapse? How does aspirin inhibit platelet aggregation? What are the side effects of low platelets? How many platelets are in a drop of blood? Why does kidney failure cause low platelets? What causes mesenteric venous thrombosis?
What are the causes of protein denaturation? Various reasons cause denaturation of protein. Some of them arean increased temperature that ruptures the protein molecules' structure, changes in pH level, adding of heavy metal salts, acids, bases, protonation of amino acid residues, and exposure to...
Consequently, the likelihood that the radiation causes cellular damage is small, but since the effective distance is long, some cells in an organism may be damaged. As protection against γ radiation, lead tiles are commonly used. In particular, the isotopes of iodine deserve attention, since ...
New-onset normocytic anemia unexplained by other causes Back pain in which multiple myeloma is suspected Hypercalcemia attributed to possible malignancy (eg, associated weight loss, fatigue, bone pain, abnormal bleeding) Rouleaux formations noted on peripheral blood smear Renal insufficiency with associate...
This has led to the identification of several pathways that impinge on the ageing process, fortifying a multifactorial hypothesis to explain the underlying causes of organismal ageing. Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and other human progerias allow researchers a unique glimpse at the ...
