Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. When cells in part of the body become overactive‚ cancer begins. Many kinds of cancer start because of the out of control growth of abnormal cells. How can you prevent cancer? Research shows that there are ways to prevent cancer. Avoiding smoking cigarettes and exposure to smoke will decrease the chances of getting lung cancer. Fruits‚ vegetables and a well balanced diet are important to keep healthy and will help repair damaged

to put cancers in the right perspective. By way of definition‚ a cancer is a malignant tumor or swelling composed of abnormal cells capable of undergoing uncontrolled proliferation. Many erroneously hold the view that every swelling or lump is cancer. However‚ this is not so. Unlike benign swellings‚ cancerous cells generally have the tendency to invade surrounding tissues and sometimes metastasize (break off and spread) to distant body tissues via the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Cancers result

Copper Cycle Summary During the copper cycle lab‚ my partners and I performed a series of reactions on copper powder and observed the changes it underwent. For the first step‚ we mixed nitric acid and copper powder‚ and noticed that a yellowish brown gas emerged‚ along with effervescence. The red solid disappeared and became a blue liquid. We know that we produced copper nitrate‚ nitrate gas‚ and water because the only two blue solutions in “A New Language” are copper sulfate and copper nitrate

technology? More explicitly can cell phones cause cancer? This question is the basis of this review. The researcher has compiled articles that cover this topic from diverse scholarly sources‚ and diverse countries. It is undeniable that cellular technology has become main stream. "It was estimated that there were 92 million cell phone users in the US‚ a number growing by one million every month." (Frumkin‚ Jacobson‚ Gansler & Thun 2001). The arrival and widespread use of cell phones has peaked interest

Cell division in animals: mitosis‚ cytokinesis‚ and the cell cycle. Cell division in animals is a two-step process involving mitosis and cytokinesis and is set up by interphase. Interphase is a growth period for the cell. In the nucleus the chromosomes are duplicated but are not yet distinguishable because they are still a form of chromatin. There is also a nucleoli‚ one or more‚ present producing ribosomes that are sent to the cytoplasm. Mitosis is the division of the nucleus and multiplication

for 3 minutes and centrifuged for 20 seconds. A polyacrylamide gel was assembled and the samples were loaded into it. The gel ran for approximately 45 minutes at 160 V. A western blot analysis was done in order to examine the Erk1/2 phosphorylation of the NIH3T3 cells. Three pieces of Whatman paper were wet in transfer buffer and placed on the anode plate. A wet PVDF membrane was placed on top of the Whatman paper. The gel was removed from holder and the stacking gel was removed. Forceps were used

successful treatment of cancer is the development of resistance mechanisms to drug treatment. Various cellular changes that have been implicated in the development of drug resistance in cancer cells include: the increased expressions of P-glycoprotein (a multidrug transport protein) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP-1); increased levels of the cellular detoxification protein‚ glutathione; and changes in the expression of apoptosis associated proteins such as Bcl-2‚ FasL and p53‚ which

a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine
