What types of cells and tissues are present in the lungs? What does melanin do in the body? What would be the effect on your skeleton if your osteoblasts were more active than your osteoclasts? What would be the effect on your skeleton if your osteoclasts were more active than your osteobl...
Neurons or neuronal cells are cells in the brain, nerves and spinal chord that communication through electricity and chemical reactions. They are like other cells in the body but they also have dendrites and axons, communicate through an electrochemical process and have synapses and neurotransmitters....
After 14 days, microglia harvested from the neonatal rat brain are considered ‘mature’. However, it is clear that this represents a somewhat arbitrary definition. In this paper, we provide a transcriptome definition of such microglial cells. More than 7,000 known genes and 1,000 expressed ...
Oligodendrocytes, also known as oligodendroglia, are a type of brain cell in the central nervous system that belongs to the glial cell family. The main purpose of glial cells is maintenance and support of nervous system cells. Oligodendrocytes support neurons by producing a substance called myelin...
What are the formed elements of blood? The term "simple carbohydrates" refers to what? Explain the non-specific defenses. What do amacrine cells do in the body? What is the transcellular space? Give an example. Which specific epithelial tissue type: ...
Necrosis, long consid- ered a form of caspase-independent cell death (CID), or "acci- dental" cell death, is the pathological process that occurs when cells are exposed to an extreme physical or chemical insult or any other serious disruption to their normal physiology[35]. It is ...
Promising new drugs are in the pipeline. More and more, researchers and pharmaceutical companies are paying attention to a specific type of immune cell in the brain called microglia. Some of these cells can cause MS to progress, and some may actually help reverse it. We’re looking for drugs...
T cells are a specialized type of lymphocyte that are formed in the bone marrow. These cells are part of the body's adaptive immune system, responding to the presence of antigens. These cells are also able to kill cancer cells. Answer and Explanation:1 ...
HIV primarily infects cells of the immune system and in particular CD4 T cells. They also remain the best characterised reservoirs for HIV-1 in virally suppressed patients on cART 18., 19., 20.. T cells are classified according to their differentiation and memory status, or their effector ...
(CGRP), HK-1 and SP. These molecules could either stimulate thalamic nociceptive neurons directly, or via stimulation of microglia in the diencephalon. As a result, inhibiting mast cell stimulation could be used as a novel approach for reducing pain and the symptoms of FMS,” states the Pub...
