Why is apoptosis important in embryonic development? Why is cellular respiration considered to be much more efficient than glycolysis alone? Why can't acetyl-CoA be converted to glucose? Why is it important that red blood cells are exposed to only isotonic solution? What will happen if the red...
Studies have shown that the beta cell is one of the most susceptible cells to ER stress, and furthermore, ER stress-mediated apoptosis in the beta cell has been suggested as having an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes [28, 29]. In fact, diabetes has been labelled by...
Among of them, the cAMP pathway has attracted increasing attention because of its apoptosis-inducing role in several lymphoma cells. cAMP pathway impairment is found to influence the prognosis of lymphoma. Targeted therapy to the cAMP pathway seems to be a new direction for lymphoma treatment, ...
(b) Describe its relationship to apoptosis. How do energy needs change during aging? How should a senior citizen adjust his/her diet to account for this change? What is the definition of "telomeres" and what do they not contain? Explain why it is a useless exercise to compare the ...
It is especially good for dieters because of its naturally sweet taste. Even people who would normally add sugar or honey to their tea often find that they enjoy jasmine tea without it. However, the key word here is "quality". How can you spot a quality jasmine?
PTPs and PTKs control the highly complex and dynamic nature of signal transduction pathways associated with many cellular processes as diverse as differentiation, migration, apoptosis, proliferation and activation of immune cells [30]. The tonic inhibition of basal PTK activation requires PTPase ...
and found watercress to be the best overall in providing a wide variety of nutrients. Also watercress extract was shown to trigger cell death of cancerous cells—a process known as apoptosis. Studies also showed that watercress was effective in controlling initiation and development of cancer ...
Understanding the processes of cells is important for understanding living organisms in biological studies. Cells make new cells through a process of division, gain entry through cellular respiration, and die in cell death called apoptosis. Cells contain mitochondria, nuclei, cytoplasm, lysosomes, ...
Intrinsic apoptosis is controlled by the BCL-2 family of proteins but the complexity of intra-family interactions makes it challenging to predict cell fate via standard molecular biology techniques. We discuss BCL-2 family regulation and how to determine
A misassembled CI owing to mito-nuclear mismatch is depicted (i.e. grey box over CI). CI mismatch diverts electrons to O2 to generate O2.-. Various signalling abnormalities may ensue including biogenesis, DNA damage responses and apoptosis owing to persistent mitochondrial O2.- generation are ...
