Virulent Dengue Viruses This is an in depth comparison between the 4 strains of Dengue Fever. The research documented here was designed to try to determine which strains are the most common‚ virulent and contagious‚ and their affects on humans. Dengue fever is the most common mosquito transmitted disease in humans and also potentially life threatening. With their being no current laboratory or animal models of this disease available for study‚ the pathology and growth of this disease has

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis known by an another name as Lou Gehrig’s disease affects atleast 2‚000 individuals a year in England from onset between 50 years and 70 years. Amyotrophic comes from the Greek language. Damage Signs of lower motor neuron and upper motor neuron is not explained by any other disease process‚ and are the reasons behind ALS. It attacks nerve cells called neurons in the CNS. They transmit messages from central nervous system to the voluntary muscles - the ones we can control

The term oxidative stress has been often used to indicate the outcome of oxidative damage to biologically relevant macromolecules such as: nucleic acids‚ proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates. This occurs when oxidative stress-related molecules‚ produced in the extracellular environment or within the cell exceed cellular antioxidant defenses (Cadenas‚ 1989). Molecular oxygen can easily accept unpaired electrons giving rise to a group of partially reduced species‚ generally termed ROS. The ROS include:

1. What are antibodies and why are antibodies ideal for targeting? An antibody‚ also known as an immunoglobulin‚ is a large Y-shaped protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses. The antibody recognizes a unique part of the foreign target‚ termed an antigen.[1][2] Each tip of the "Y" of an antibody contains a paratope (a structure analogous to a lock) that is specific for one particular epitope (similarly analogous to a key) on an antigen

acid neurotransmitter system of gama- aminobutyric acid (GABA) play a role in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) studies that have investigated of these GABAergic abnormalities in vivo in patients with MDD have yielded mixed findings‚ due to differences in MRS methods used to measure GABA. Increasing evidence points to an association between major depressive disorders (MDDs) and diverse types of GABAergic deficits. In this review
