Cancer and cell cycle control: The cell cycle‚ or cell-division cycle‚ is the series of events that takes place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication). In cells without a nucleus (prokaryotic)‚ the cell cycle occurs via a process termed binary fission. In cells with a nucleus (eukaryotes)‚ the cell cycle can be divided in two brief periods: interphase—during which the cell grows‚ accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis and duplicating its DNA—and the mitosis (M) phase

Cancerous cells are being found more and more frequently in men and women each year. There are two known causes to this phenomenon: the tumor suppressor genes and proto-oncogenes. They are mutations that occur in the main cells of the body that ultimately lead to the formation of cancer. A single gene mutation is all that is necessary to drive the cancer cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. As this occurs the body cells go into apoptosis; if the patient does not take the necessary steps for immediate

Different types of cells and their ultra structure The cell is the basic unit of life. Each cell can be regarded as a metabolic compartment‚ a separate place where the chemical processes of that cell occur. Cells are often designed to perform a particular function. Depending on that function‚ each cell type has an internal structure that suits it for its job. This is known as the ultrastructure of the cell. There are different types of cells inside the human body. They are the epithelial cells‚ muscle

Cancer is a genetic disease requiring a series of change. Carcinogenesis is the development of cancer. Cancer cells are abnormal cells and they have characteristics that can be associated with their ability to grow uncontrollably. Cancer cells are non-specialized‚ and divide uncontrollably. Cancer in situ is a tumor located in its place of origin. Malignant tumors establish new tumor distant from the primary tumors. Cancer cells characteristics distinguish them from normal cells. They have abnormal

can cell phones cause cancer? This article is about if cell phones can cause brain cancer and slows brain metabolism. The scientists had volunteers to test out there theories. The volunteers held a flip phone to their ear for 50 minutes with a signal and then held the phone to their ear for 50 minutes without signal. "metabolism in the region closest to the antenna was significantly higher [about 7 percent] for on than off conditions." (nora Volcow) That region includes the orbitofrontal cortex

Esophageal cancer‚ more common around the world than in the United States‚ is cancer in the esophagus. The esophagus is a long‚ hollow tube that connects the throat to the stomach. The esophagus is approximately 8 inches long‚ and is lined by mucosa. There are two main types of esophageal cancer: Squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma begins in cells lining the esophagus while adenocarcinoma begins in the cells that produce and release mucus and other fluids. The main
