Introduction Zoonotic intestinal parasites are prevalent around the world. One of the most common and studied is transmitted by the microscopic protozoan‚ Giardia intestinalis‚ also known as G. lamblia and G. duodenalis (Ivanov‚ 2010). This eukaryotic parasite is responsible for the transmission of the most common waterborne disease‚ giardiasis‚ which causes watery diarrhea‚ vomiting‚ and has even been linked to irritable bowl syndrome (Ankarklev et. al. 2010). Since its discovery in 1681‚ Giardia

Introduction Human cilia play a critical part in human processes. Human cilia are hair-like projections that extend from the surface of a cell. Cilia are capable of rhythmic motion and acts together from separate strands so that the cell is capable of movement. Flagella are a whip-like structure that is found in cells as well that allow for the movement of the cell. Human cilia are characterized as having “metachronal rhythm" and this means is a rhythm that "changes time" to produce wave. The beating

With a title such as Power‚ Sex‚ Suicide and a subtitle promising to give an answer to the question: ‘what is the meaning of life?’ this book about mitochondria‚ written by Nick Lane‚ certainly creates high expectations. At first glance a book regarding mitochondria might seem to be like a textbook‚ no matter how intriguing its title is. However‚ Lane circumvents this both by using a writing style that is distinct from anything you might find in a textbook and by touching upon some of the most intriguing

Introduction: Alopecia areata (AA) is a chronic worldwide inflammatory disease that involves the hair follicle and sometimes the nails.1‚2 The hair follicle is an immunologically privileged organ that is protected from the attack by cytotoxic T – lymphocytes (CTLS) by decreasing major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I expression.3‚4 Current evidence indicates that hair follicle inflammation in alopecia areata is caused by a T- cell mediated autoimmune mechanism occurring in genetically

March of Dimes Letter of Intent 1. Title of Proposal: Targeting β-catenin signaling in inhibitory circuitry for neurodevelopmental disorders 2. Hypothesis Genetic factors play an important role in the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders‚ including intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) that affect 3-4% of population worldwide. Intriguingly‚ highly penetrant mutations in β-catenin (β-cat) are frequently identified in patients with intellectual disability (ID) (1-6)

Question #1 Pre-load can be defined as the degree to which cardiac (heart) muscle cells extend before contraction in the heart. Pre-load is one of the factors that affect the stroke volume. It directly relates to stroke volume. The way it works is that a rise in venous return to the heart raises the end diastolic volume of the ventricle which causes the muscles fibers to stretch thus increasing preload. Also‚ it increases the force of contraction of the ventricles making the heart to discharge
