For many years‚ leukemia and cancer had taken the lives of many victims. There have been numerous attempts to kill off these diseases but to no avail. However‚ Immune Engineering may change the way that we view cures for leukemia and cancer. This new type of research and cure process might just be the answer that the human race as a whole had been looking for. Using T Cells from the human body and mutating them to help defend the human body. Certain genetically altered white blood cells are made

living things evolve with time. The final and ninth step of life is the Adaptations‚ the ability to overcome and fit in lives structures‚ behaviors and most important the environment. Viruses cannot reproduce without the help of living cells. A Virus has to infect a cell and once the cell is infected it will marshal the cells ribosomes and enzymes to reproduce. A prion is mostly protein and although proteins are components of living cells‚ a prion is not. The interesting thing about prions are

mature phages. One of the phages has the incorporated bacterial DNA‚ that one are called defective virus. This defective virus infected other bacterium but instead of injecting viral nucleic acid it is injecting bacterial DNA. The new infected bacterium will recombine its own DNA with the received bacterial DNA from the phages. The virus will not replicate or lyses the cell because it is a defective virus. The bacterium survives and can use this new genetic material that was incorporated into its chromosome

In 1918‚ there was a flu pandemic. A pandemic is an infectious transmissible disease that has spread throughout the human populations. While this

While Rife was acquiring the technical skills and instruments he needed to isolate the cancer virus‚ Dr. Kendall was developing a protein culture medium for cultivation of the typhoid Bacillus. The typhoid Bacillus was usually large enough to be viewed through ordinary research microscopes of the time. However‚ when he used his Medium K‚ this bacterium

The Ebola Virus History of‚ Occurrences‚ and Effects of Ebola‚ a virus which acquires its name from the Ebola River (located in Zaire‚ Africa)‚ first emerged in September 1976‚ when it erupted simultaneously in 55 villages near the headwaters of the river. It seemed to come out of nowhere‚ and resulted in the deaths of nine out of every ten victims. Although it originated over 20 years ago‚ it still remains as a fear among African citizens‚ where the virus has reappeared occasionally in parts

The Ebola Virus A virus is an ultramicroscopic infectious organism that‚ having no independent metabolic activity‚ can replicate only within a cell of another host organism. A virus consists of a core of nucleic acid‚ either RNA or DNA‚ surrounded by a coating of antigenic protein and sometimes a lipid layer surrounds it as well. The virus provides the genetic code for replication‚ and the host cell provides the necessary energy and raw materials. There are more than 200 viruses that
