doctors in the 1950’s‚ cells from her tumor were sent for research without her consent; and unfortunately the credit/rights that her and her family deserves have been thrown in the air. Medical procedures of the 1950s and 60s caused people to question if what was being done was moral or ethical for the family. Upon observation of the arguments made by the people and the scientific community‚ it is simple to see the fine line that people’s views may be approaching. HeLa (cells of Henrietta Lacks) have

Commercial Cells Galvanic Cell A Galvanic cell is also known as a Voltaic cell. It was named after Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta. A galvanic cell is capable of producing an electric current from a redox reaction that occurs within it and consists of two half cells. Each half cell consists of an electrode and electrolyte and a salt bridge. In a galvanic cell one metal can undergo reduction and the other oxidation. A typical galvanic cell is based on the spontaneous redox reaction: Net Ionic

Cell’s July 18‚ 2011 Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disease that means you are born with it and it lasts a lifetime. People with sickle cell anemia inherit two variant or sickle cell genes‚ one from each parent. In the United States‚ sickle cell anemia affects about 72‚000 people. About 2 million Americans carry the sickle cell trait but about 1 in 12 African Americans have the trait. The signs and symptoms of sickle cell anemia are different in each person. Some people

What are stem cells and what is gene therapy respectively? These are cells that have the potential to form many different types of cells found in the body. When stem cells divide‚ can form more stem cells or other cells that perform specialized functions. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to form a complete individual‚ while adult stem cells can only form certain types of specialized cells. Stem cells to continue to divide throughout the lifetime of a person. The use of recombinant DNA

Evolution of Sickle Cell Sickle Cell was discovered in the United states although it originated in Africa . The sickle cell disease (SCD) describes traits of an inherited red blood cell disorder‚ having SCD means you have abnormal hemoglobin‚ called hemoglobin S or sickle hemoglobin‚ in your red blood cells. What is hemoglobin u might ask?! Well Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that is suppose to carry oxygen throughout the body. But when a sickle cell trait is “Inherited” it could

Cell Fractionation: Isolation of Mitochondria from Cauliflower and Determination of Specific Enzyme Kinetics Introduction Mitochondria is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that play a role in biochemical processes such as respiration and energy production. Mitochondria even play an important role in apoptosis‚ or programmed cell death. This is achieved by disruption of electron transport‚ oxidative phosphorylation‚ and ATP production or even the release of proteins that trigger activation
