Cloning and stem cell research have come a long way in the past few decades. Expert scientist have the capability of making an exact‚ physical copy of a living body as well using stem cells to cure genetic diseases. Although these two topics are quite common now‚ they weren’t well known when Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein fictional novel was initially published.

This article talks about how viruses are transmitted from host to host and how they can cause epidemic diseases. Through the environment‚ specific hosts‚ hospitable binding sites‚ and other factors‚ the spread of viruses can be controlled. Viruses

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

What is a CD4 cell or T-cell? CD4 cells or T-cells are the “generals” of the human immune system. These are the cells that send signals to activate your body’s immune response when they detect “intruders‚” like viruses or bacteria. Because of the important role these cells play in how your body fights off infections‚ it’s important to keep their numbers up in the normal ranges. This helps to prevent HIV-related complications and opportunistic infections. For more information‚ see the National Cancer
