HIV Infection Definition HIV infection is a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The condition gradually destroys the immune system‚ which makes it harder for the body to fight infections. Most people infected with HIV eventually develop AIDS. These individuals mostly die from opportunistic infections or malignancies associated with the progressive failure of the immune system. HIV progresses to AIDS at a variable rate affected by viral‚ host‚ and environmental factors;

Entamoeba histolytica Entamoeba histolytica I. Morphology Among the Entamoeba family‚ E. histolytica is the most invasive. This eukaryotic organism has some atypical characteristics such as: lack of organelles‚ no endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. The cyst is usually spherical with the size that ranges from 10-20μm. In a mature cyst there are four nucleuses while in an immature cyst there are 1-2 which are occasionally seen. Its karyosomal chromatin is small‚ discrete

THE POTENCY OF TALISAY terminalia catappa AS FABRIC DYE By: Charlene Angelica B. Buenvenida Chapter I INTRODUCTION Dyes have become part of daily living. What’s great about dyes is that they give variety to everything. Even the earliest humans used dyes to put color into their worlds‚ and they even used the most peculiar sources of the colors. Since then‚ dyes have dominated different kinds of industries. Before‚ dye manufacturers were only able to produce one color at a time. But

Far too many people suffer from traumatic spinal cord injuries in their lifetimes that leave them paralyzed. Many people wonder if these spinal cord injuries are reversible‚ and hope to someday walk again. Although the complete reversal of paralysis is in the minority viewpoint‚ encouragement by others in similar situations has been shown to help motivate paraplegics to maintain a rehabilitation process. There are many researches about the restoration of spinal cord injuries to give hope to those

shows different degrees of deficiency in three DNA repair proteins (ERCC1‚ PMS2 and KU86) and one mitochondrial protein (CCOI).[2] Specific molecular markers are characteristic of particular cellular events such as proliferation or cell death (apoptosis). IHC is also widely used in basic research to understand the distribution and localization of biomarkers and differentially expressed proteins in different parts of a biological tissue. Visualising an antibody-antigen interaction can be accomplished

The objective of the experiment was to differentiate mammalian C2C12 cells into muscle cells and analyze for presence of myosin light chain. Utilizing Western Blotting techniques and using specific antibodies helped to detect myosin light chain. The hypothesis was that proliferating myoblasts could be induced to initiate the differentiation process by depriving the cells of the necessary growth factors and that the differentiation is characterized by the expression of muscle-specific proteins. The
