Chapter 5 The skin is composed of two distinct regions‚ the epidermis and the dermis. These two areas are firmly attached to one another along a wavy borderline. The epidermis (epi = upon) composed of epithelial cells‚ and is the outermost protective shield of the body. Epidermis - Structurally‚ the epidermis is a thick keratinued stratified squamous epithelium consisting of four distinct cell types and five distinct layers. Cells of the Epidermis - Cells populating the epidermis include: keratinocytes

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)‚ is a referred to as a disease characterized by hemolytic anemia‚ caused by the destruction of red blood cells‚ acute kidney failure (uremia)‚ and a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). Although‚ it mostly affects children‚ there have been cases of adults with this illness. The destroyed red blood cells block the filtering system in the kidneys‚ which can lead to a life-threatening kidney failure. HUS usually develops in children after five to 10 days of diarrhea

Abstract Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known mediators of cellular damage in multiple diseases including diabetic complications. Despite its importance‚ no comprehensive database is currently available for the genes associated with ROS. Methods We present ROS- and diabetes-related targets (genes/proteins) collected from the biomedical literature through a text mining technology. A web-based literature mining tool‚ SciMiner‚ was applied to 1‚154 biomedical papers indexed with

BIO152 Chapter 43 – The Immune System 1. Describe the function of the immune system. Function: protect body from pathogens + foreign objects‚ destroy infected or malignant cells‚ and remove cellular debris. System includes: thymus‚ spleen‚ lymph nodes and tissues‚ stem cells‚ white blood cells‚ antibodies. 2. Compare innate and acquired immunity‚ and how they differ in terms of how quickly they attack a pathogen‚ and how they recognize a pathogen. Innate immunity- immediate defense

Anti-cancer Drug Screening in Vitro Introduction: The incidences of cancer remain high despite advances in our understanding of cancer. Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out of control cell growth. Normal cells are constantly subject to signals that control whether the cell should divide‚ differentiate into another cell or die. Cancer cells develop a degree of independence from these signals‚ which results in uncontrolled growth and proliferation. If this proliferation is allowed
