A normal range for total blood calcium in adults is usually between 8.5 and 10.3 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL). So any level higher than that would be considered high and would likely lead your doctor to order more tests. What organs does hypercalcemia affect? Severe hypercalcemia is especially...
When a hormone reaches its target, it tells that part of your body what work to do, when to do it and for how long. Hormones are often referred to as the “messengers” because they help different parts of the body communicate. Overall, they are involved in many different processes in ...
Name the two hormones that control the secretion of prolactin. What is a chemical produced by an endocrine gland and released into the blood? It travels to other organs of the body where it produces its effect. What are the fx of the pituitary gland vs the fx of the endocrine glands? Wh...
The cellular presence of an endogenous or exogenous (e.g., synthetic) auxin is perceived by the TRANSPORT INHIBITOR RESPONSE1/AUXIN SIGNALING F-BOX (TIR1/AFB) signalling pathway, and triggers the expression of the target genes, which induce biological responses to the received stimulus. The ...
Devices consisting of biomimetic organs modules connected in one circuit by means of a perfusion system are promising solutions for studying the interaction of organs and the impact of a given active substance on non-target organs [57]. An example of a multi-organ microfluidic system is described...
One possible solution could be to target stem cells with integrating vectors, but there are some associated concerns such as integrational mutagenesis and the low efficiency of stem cell transduction in vivo due to their location in the basal surface of the tissue. Preclinical studies are also ...
