plasma membrane ( Lacerda L.2011) Allowing some molecules enter and exit the cell membrane‚ to create a balance in concentration inside and outside of the cell‚ by doing so the cell often become hypotonic‚ where the concentration outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside the cell‚ therefore causing the swelling of that cell. When cell was placed the the deionized water environment‚ hypothesis was made that the cell will become hypotonic and swell up as the time increased. “Diffusion

contemporary biological issue Introduction Stem cells are undifferentiated cells able to differentiate into specialized cell types. These are used for stem cell treatment‚ which is an intervention strategy that introduces new adult stem cells into damaged tissue in order to treat disease or injury. For over 30 years‚ bone marrow and‚ more recently‚ umbilical cord blood stem cells have been used to treat cancer patients with leukaemia and lymphoma because during chemotherapy most growing cells are killed‚ but a donor’s

The Cell membrane surrounds all living cells and is the most important organelle‚ there is also a similar plasma membrane that surrounds all the organelles except for the ribosome. The membrane controls how and what substances can move in and out of the cell/organelle The structure of the membrane is often referred to as the “Fluid Mosaic Model”; this is because of the way it is structured It is composed of phospholipids‚ proteins‚ and carbohydrates‚ which are arranged in a fluid

Basal Cell Carcinoma Danielle Robbins Abstract This paper briefly describes basal cell carcinoma. Several scientific studies and articles are referenced to further present the causes‚ symptoms‚ tests‚ treatments‚ and prognosis of basal cell carcinoma. Also included in this paper are the different types of basal cell carcinoma and the populations that are affected. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a skin cancer that starts in the epidermis (Medline Plus‚ 2012). The Skin Cancer Foundation defines

Stem Cell Controversy Stem cells were first isolated and cultured in November of 1998 and have been surrounded with much debate and controversy since day one. “Although the ethical debates have been mostly static and have closely mimicked the ethical debates over abortion‚ the political determinations concerning federal funding of stem cell research have gone through numerous evolutions in the years since the first hESCs were isolated and cultured” (Saltzberg 505). Research is currently being

Renal Cell Carcinoma Cancer is the second leading cause of death next to cardiovascular disease. There are many types of cancers‚ and different stages of cancer. There are also many different treatment options available today to fight this horrible disease. There are new drugs coming out that have showed significant results in prolonging life‚ and have helped reduce the size of tumors and slow down the progression of this disease. One of the more remarkable drugs out now is the drug Sunitinib

Sickle Cell Disease Blood has been considered the essence of life for centuries‚ and our blood is a living tissue made up of liquid and solids. There are many diseases related to blood such as anemia which is the decrease in oxygen supply to tissue and causes hypoxia‚ thalassemia is the mutation in one or more globin gene of hemoglobin‚ etc. Therefore‚ one of blood disorders is the most common symptomatic hemoglobinopathy with the greatest prevalence in worldwide which is called sickle cell disease
