Histology and Cytology; Branches of Medicine Essential for the Diagnosis of Various Diseases

Image
  Histology and cytology seek to describe especially the structure of the tissues (histology) and cells (cytology) of animals and plants. Cytology is the study of individual cells of the body, as opposed to histology which is the study of whole human tissue itself. Cytology generally looks at a single cell type, while histology is the exam of an entire block of tissue. Histology deals with the study of diseases, disorders, and abnormalities. It is concerned with the description and classification of the human body at all ages. It provides vital information for health studies and medical diagnosis. Cytology is a major branch of medicine that studies the physiology and organization of various types of cells. Cytology can be broadly divided into several sub-topics that include the study of cellular communication, cytotoxicity, enzyme activity, gene regulation, and cell biology. In addition, cytology has recently made great progress with the discoveries of certain types of cancer therapi

Neurological Biomarkers Are Situated In the Cerebral Spinal Fluid of the Body and Are Most of the Time Cannot Be Detected In Blood

Image
  Neurological biomarkers are being researched and developed all over the world, including in regions such as Germany, Mexico, and Japan. Neurological biomarkers are the specific proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that can indicate the presence of neurological disorders. They are mostly cross-functional and can be found in many tissues throughout the body. Neurological biomarkers assist in the diagnosis of nervous system disorders and monitor disease progression in patients with neurological diseases. Neurological biomarkers are usually expressed in a stepwise manner on cells. If these chemicals are found in high concentration in a tissue, it indicates that it is involved in neurological disease. A recent study has provided insights on the usage of neurological biomarkers in Alzheimer's Disease. The researchers studied two sets of elderly adults with Alzheimer's Disease. Surprisingly, the researchers found a significantly higher prevalence of neurological biomarkers i

Antifreeze Proteins (AFPs) are secreted by the cold-blooded animals which resist the formation of ice-crystals in their blood

Image
  Antifreeze proteins (AFRs) are highly biological antifreeze substances originally discovered in polar bear; these substances can bind with thick polar bear ice and effectively inhibit the metabolic growth of the polar bear's body tissues. Polar bears live in cold or ice-rich waters below the freezing point. The occurrence of these antifreeze proteins was earlier ascribed to a molecular process called catalysis. At very high temperatures, the temperature inside the cell remains constant, while the external temperature changes abruptly; this is due to the presence of antifreeze proteins. The role of antifreeze proteins lies in the fact that they help in preventing the escape of chemical energy inside the cells of a living organism, in a process called oxidation. It was also observed that the production of these proteins is dependent on the activity of a particular type of yeast. Apart from marine life, the consumption of other toxic proteins can also affect humans who may become

Blood and Blood Components such as platelets, plasma, red blood cells and others are essential for carrying oxygen and nutrients throughout the body

Cell-Free Protein Expression Is a Type of Biotechnology Approach, Which Enables the Production of Target Protein without Using Living Cells

Image
  Cell-free protein expression is done all over the world, especially in a region such as the United States.   Cell-free protein expression is the biological process of creating a specific protein from a precursor protein. It's usually done by the regulation of gene expression in an animal, plant, or even human being so that it produces large amounts of an unnatural protein called a transgenic protein. Some examples of transgenic proteins are allergens and viruses. They can also be introduced to the host species by eating contaminated food or water. In either case, the cell-free protein expression is abnormal and can cause an illness in the infected person. Cell-free protein expression is the process that directs the DNA sequence of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) to move from the promoters to the genes. The messenger ribonucleic acid carries the genes that encode the protein molecule. On the other hand, transcription is the process that controls the sequence of mRNA transcrip

Lentiviral Vectors; a Research Tool Used To Introduce a Gene Product Into In Vitro Systems

Image
  Lentiviral Vectors in gene treatment is a technique by which genetically engineered viruses can be introduced, modified, or even deleted from living organisms with the help of lentivirus. These viruses are then injected into various target organs where they multiply and reproduce. Usually, these viruses are produced by e-fertilization of healthy tissues with DNA that has been taken from other sources. However, for this technology to work, the natural genetic material, i.e., the DNA of the recipient organism, must be in perfect order. Lentivirus are a family of viruses that are responsible for chronic and deadly diseases in the human and other mammalian species. The best known lentivirus is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. Lentiviral vectors are derived from HIV and hence, these vectors are highly efficient for in vivo gene delivery for gene therapies. Moreover, lentiviral vectors are used in both gene therapy and research applications. These vectors can also

How is Tissue Banking Beneficial to People with Severe Morbidity, Chronic Diseases, and Organ Transplant Surgery?

Image
  Tissue banking alludes to the movement of gathering, stockpiling, handling, and circulation of transplantable human tissues. This industry fills in as a store of disposed of tissue and organs, both legitimately and wrongfully. These organs are here and there taken from criminal bodies or the dead groups of lawbreakers. Some of the time they may come from individuals who kick the bucket in emergency clinics. Whatever they are, every one of the organs are normally taken to a focal tissue bank which at that point discards them as indicated by neighborhood enactment. This interaction of collecting organs happens both when passing. There are numerous elements that decide when organs come from dead bodies. The fundamental one is that the organ must be dead and not yet deteriorating. Numerous organs must be eliminated from individuals who have passed on of sicknesses and ailments as these organs are not, at this point valuable. Some are even too harmed to possibly be helpful any longer. N
