In this article, the unique and specific patterns of cultural and genetic diversities of the Native Americans have been identified and this information is used to understand geographic dispersion patterns as well as the relationship between these people. Of these, the Tupi and Je speaker dispersions are the most important ones. Currently a lot of people speak the stock of these two languages. Although the Tupi expansion can be compared to Bantu migration in Africa, very little is known about this event as compared to others. The Je-speaker’s expansion has an equal and even deeper gaps and this study ...

Introduction

The topic on genetically modified foods has evolved into one of the most equivocal topics that have generated a contentious debate across various settings all over the globe. This can be accredited to the much hypothesized repercussions of genetically modified foods. Worth noting is the fact that researches carried out in the recent past such as the much hypothesized studies on the effects of genetically modified corn pollen on butterflies have radicalized the public to respond differently regarding the issues on global warming. In fact, it is as a result of such researches that the federal government has established regulatory procedures ...

Connective tissue growth factor induces collagen I expression in human lung fibroblasts through the Rac1/MLK3/JNK/AP-1 pathway

Many lung inflammatory diseases present pulmonary fibrosis as one of the symptoms, which is characterized by shortness of breath, chronic coughing and discomfort in the chest. It causes modifications of the lung tissues due to overgrowth, hardening and scarring. This occurs mainly due to deposition of collagen, an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein, whose turnover is regulated by fibroblast. Fibroblast is an important cell regulator that is enlisted by a site of injury. This process is driven by release of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), platelet-derived growth factor, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8/CXCL8.
Previously, fibroblast was thought to express no or very ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus, a main cause of worldwide AIDs, belongs to the Lentivirus genus of Retroviridae family. Pathogen causes chronic type of symptoms, taking a long time of latency it constantly keeps replicating inside human body. HIV is categorised into two types, HIV-1 and HIV-2. The genome of this retrovirus consists of two single-stranded RNA molecules. Though, both are involved in AIDS, HIV-2 seemed less virulent and demonstrated more frequent connections with the disease of central nervous system (Fanales-Belasio et al. 5).
Like other retroviruses, the genes located on HIV chromosome are gag, pol, env. The functions of gag, pol ...

Superbugs: The Bright Side

The term ‘superbug’ is grossly scary to the general public and is used for a resistant strain/species of a micro-organism that does not die easily. Such species are known to have developed a gene/segment of a gene that imparts the resistance to antibiotics and related drugs. These genes/gene segments are closed loops of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material present in humans as well as bacteria. In many bacteria, this DNA is not present inside the nucleus (as is the case with humans). However, it is present in the cytoplasm (extra-chromosomal DNA) and is called as plasmid. Scientists have developed plasmids with ‘artificially ...

Introduction

In multicellular organisms, the cell divisions occur under the control of strict control of internal and external signals. However, cancer involves an uncontrolled growth of cells. The branch of medicine that deals with the study of cancer and tumors is known as oncology. A tumor is an abnormal mass of cells that may be benign or malignant. Benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body while, malignant tumors can spread from the original site known as the primary site to other organs establishing secondary tumors.
According to their tissue of origin, cancers are classified as ...

The article titled “Mediation Has Power to Influence Your Gene” by Christopher Bergland gives a summary of the findings of two researchers conducted to investigate the relationship between meditation and pain. The first research explored by the article was conducted by a group of Scientist from Spain and France.

The article reported that the comparison of gene alterations was done between experienced mediators who had undergone intensive mediation and untrained control participants who were involved in non meditative ...

Introduction:

The function of many living organisms is coupled with a vast array of cells .These units in turn serve as role playing agents for the fundamental physiology that determines the well being of organisms. However, variations in cellular environment are thought to regulate cell growth, division and survival. A network of molecular pathways or signaling events are interlinked with the cellular functions .Alterations in this specific functional aspect could lead to unnecessary complications which may lead to health abnormalities. In such context , the present description is concerned with highlighting about mTOR Signaling in Carcinogenesis.
mTOR stands for mammalian target ...

Eukaryotic organisms’ cells are composed of different types of primary and processed RNAs. These RNAs are locally found in the nucleus, cytosol or throughout the cells. To understand the function of RNA as a type of protein, RNA profiling has been carried out leading to the birth of a genomic project known as “ENCODE or the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements”. The goal of the project is to identify and characterize functional elements that are present in the genes (Djebali et al.).
In the paper Landscape of Transcription in Human Cells the study tries to answer the general question: should the ...

1. What are the 2 types of fibers found in muscle? What is the difference between the two in terms of function?

Slow Twitch (Type I)
This type is more efficient in oxygen usage and production of ATP, for continuous and long
activities. In comparison with fast twitch fibers they are slower but they get tired much later or
in other words they can work for a long time before they get fatigue.

Fast Twitch (Type II)

These fibers, in comparison with slow twitch fibres are better in production of strength or
speed than the slow twitch fibers, but they ...

“How Will Genetic Technology Shape Personalized Medicine?”By Colleen Cancio, published on Discovery Fit & Health online magazine, gives a brief insight into personalized medicine. Initially, Cancio observes that contrary to the general perception, the practice of personalized medicine dates back to the ancient times of Hippocrates. He states that Hippocrates prescribed different elixirs to different patients (Cancio). In general, Cancio focuses briefly on three aspects: background information on genetic technology and personalized medicine, the genetic technology that are being applied currently in the practice of personalized medicine, challenges of their use in personalized medicine, and how they will influence healthcare ...

Bladder cancer has been shown to respond to therapies focusing on the immune system and may thus represent a good candidate for the use of retroviral models designed to encode for antitumor genes associated with the immune system, such as the ProT gene. ProtT stimulates T cell formation and suppresses the development of tumors. In an animal study, Shiau et al evaluated the efficacy of prothymosin alpha (ProT) as gene therapy for the treatment of bladder cancer. The researchers created a recombinant retrovirus carrying the ProT gene and injected it into mice along with bladder cancer cells. The mice on which ...

Peggs first appreciates that nonhuman animal testing has been the main methodology that scientists around the world use in performing scientific research. Further, the author argues that the European Community has had divergent rules and legislation with regard to animal testing. However, nearly all member states have a deep concern for animal ...

Generally, it is known that mothers are responsible for offering life support to the unborn baby. However, there are various things that influence the health of the baby that arise from the father. Most of the effects to the unborn baby that arise from the father are biological. That is from the genetic point of view.
Then again, the article states that men have been receiving advice from doctors which instruct them to avoid smoking and drinking prior to sex because there is a high likelihood of these two aspects lowering the quality of their sperm. The toxins that ...

Genetically Modified Foods (GMFs)

GMFs are foods whose DNA has been manipulated by scientists to change the essential genetic constitution of plants and animals (Mather, 2012). This modification involves inserting genetic material from one species into another one so as to give it desired characteristics like pest resistance and resistance to herbicides. The use of GMFs is highly controversial; while they are accepted in countries like the United States, they cannot be sold in Australia and the European Union without labeling, and are banned in Egypt, Japan, and Ireland (Mather, 2012).
Proponents of GM foods cite several reasons to advance their cause. ...

Mouse monoclonal antibodies to a known lysosomallumenal protein, hydrolase , were used as controls in these experiments. The results ...

Evolution – The Reality of Existence

This paper deals with two articles and two conversational scripts, each of which tries to emphasize the predominant role and the process of evolutionary development that dates back to our ancestors, and which cascades down to our own lives and plays a role in determining our current behavior and lifestyle.
The first article titled Potential Evolutionary Role for Same-Sex Attraction (Association for Psychological Science, 2010), published in the Science Daily on Feb 4, 2010, tries to highlight the role of human evolution in promoting homosexuality amongst men. The article -- based on the research findings of two evolutionary psychologists, ...

As a potential carrier of a gene for an unpreventable condition, I would definitely want to know my real status. The basic reason is that knowledge of the disease might mean that I would be able to spend more productive years of life as opposed to coming down with the disease later in life. I might also be able to prevent transmitting the condition to my children if I know my status.
As regards pre- and post-test counseling, I believe that it is necessary for a pre-test counseling to be done for any individual who is about to take a genetic test. ...

Tremendous progress has been noted in the genetic study of aging, with animal models suggesting important roles for a number of metabolic pathways. Despite this fact, humans exceed laboratory models by far. Only evidence from humans can identify the driving force behind aging. This article seeks to thematically review progress in identifying human genetic variants linked to longevity. It also looks at the bigger perspective of progress in establishing genetic associates of disease and functioning and healthy living in elderly people. Although much of the existing evidence is scattered, recent findings and strong methods are contributing to the growth in this ...

Gene Editing Techniques

1. Gene Editing – General Background
Gene editing entails inserting, deleting and replace the DNA in a genome of an organism utilizing engineered nucleases. Sections of the natural gene are replaced and completed using a synthetic DNA chain. Also, the natural repair process gets rid of the mismatches and gaps in the DNA. On the other hand, gene disruption is a technique by which the DNA fragment is utilized to replace a genome sequence with a chosen marker gene like the kanavanine resistance. DNA –binding proteins are proteins that consist of DNA-binding domains and hence have affinity for single and ...

Introduction
Plausibly, one of the biggest problems facing the 21st century humanity is food insecurity. This has been occasioned by a rather unpredicted population increase across the world which is mounting too much pressure on the natural resources for food. Aquatic food has been one of the greatest sources of food for humankind. According to statistical predictions, the demand for products is set ...

Dan Koeppel, in the essay ‘Can This Fruit be saved?’ Explains two contrasting visions of how well to address the impending (banana) crisis. One of the visions is based on the traditional methods of production, aimed at the manufacture of a banana plant with the same taste and appearance as the Cavendish to the extent that consumers cannot tell it is not the one. Aguilar is one of its proponents. Aguilar serves as a head banana breeder at Honduran Foundation for Agricultural Investigation (FHIA).The other vision is shared by bioengineers and is aimed at altering the chromosomes of ...

With advent of climate change, the global temperatures are soaring at an astounding rate. Not only are people affected by this increasing temperature, but also crops, the main source of our food, have been on the receiving end. Most crops do not have the capabilities to adjust accordingly to the increasing and many of them wither and die. However, the field of genetic engineering is about to change this. Scholars and scientists in the field have been carrying out extensive research and are on the verge of making new discoveries that will aid plants to adapt to tomorrow’s ...

Research in genomic science has helped in making diagnosis and prognosis of the disease, and potential biomarkers for the assessment ...

Article Summaries

According to Scarr and Richard, the influence of intelligence is due to genetics and environmental variables that are difficult to segregate. Psychologists often argue about the nature and the nurture of genetic variation fixes in the human behavior (Scarr and Richard 262). Some offer that genetic differences are negating to change in behavior. This belief has limitation since it fails to distinguish the environmental and the genetic sources of individual differences in behavior. In this case, one is not in a position to assess the impact of heredity in behavioral domains since all people have a gene complement expressed over development.

Could there be a way for consumers to gain information on their predisposition to diseases or to tailor fit health care according to their genetic predisposition? Due to the onset of high technology, it is now possible for people to acquire their genetic information through direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing of personal genetic (PG) and personal genomic (PGM) testing. This is especially useful when they want to be knowledgeable about their inherited susceptibility to disease or to have disease treatment tailored fit. Direct to consumer genetic testing has both risks and potential benefits. I believe that consumers should have direct access ...

In the study of development and action, development of coordination is an essential and fascinating problem. The ontogeny of coordination is primarily the major problem of the ontogenetic origin of behavior. Coordination in physical activity occurs apparently during infancy as during this time basic patterns of posture and movement occur (Newell, 1986). Basic patterns of coordination are referred to as phylogenic activities as they are seen as fundamental to the survival of human species. The species ontogenetic activities reflect socially driven skills as well as shorter-term demands of individuals that vary with culture. All these developments are directly associated ...

In their coauthored article, Kim Tallbear and Deborah A. Bolnick write about a relatively new practice of determining ancestry by employing DNA tests. As of 2004, there are at least fourteen companies that provide Native American DNA tests, reflecting the growing trend of people using this method in order to validate their ancestry (Bolnick, Tallbear). In their article, the two scientists discuss several negative implications of these tests as well as their harmful effects on Native American tribes.
The one prevailing motivation for taking these tests seems to be their supposed power to validate people’s ethnic identity and ...

Modern technological approaches are currently used to further identify these compounds and determine their role in seed development; these include NRIS FTIR, mass spectroscopy, electron microscopy and chromatography. The following review describes the constituents of the legume seed coat and their respective roles in dormancy and other stages of seed development. The review also highlights ...

The invention of biotechnology about genetic engineering is significant in feeding the ever-increasing world’s population. There are several methods used to ensure there is enough food globally, for instance, using of greenhouses in which every condition required by the plant to grow is provided as indicated by biotechnologist at Pioneer Hi-Bred’s research center. The challenge is that these plants grow so big and are accompanied by what have been referred to as “super-weeds”. Examples have been seen in the developed countries such as US, Germany, Australia, China and France, which uses advanced bio-engineering producing their crops. This ...

Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a medical disorder in which cancer causes an unusual quantity of fluid to accumulate between thin layers of tissue lining (pleura) in the outside of the lung as well as the wall of the chest cavity. An important cause of MPE is lung adenocarcinoma, but it has a poor prognosis. In the last few decades, cancer epigenetics have helped a lot in biomarker development (Liloglou, Bediaga, Brown, Field, & Davies, 2014), and epigenetic changes such as those caused by environmental exposures, diet, hormones, stress, or aging are found to be associated with human neoplasia, but ...

Where do Phobias come from?

Study conducted on mice showed that phobias are genetically transmitted from one generation to the next through chemical changes that occur in DNA or through experiences from ancestors. The study was conducted on mice, which were trained to fear cherry blossoms odour by use of electric shocks prior to breeding. The offsprings developed a fear of the cherry blossom odour in spite of never experiencing them proving that the experience can be transferred genetically to the offsprings.

Overview

The wall street journal has over the years been a trusted center for business news and events, and this is a fact that cannot be brushed aside. A number of interesting business events are ever reported by the journal to the extent that insights and future developments are derived. In 2014, WSJ reported about a conflict between the farming industry in the United States and China (Bunge, 1). The gist of the matter was that China had refused the entry of GMO products into their market, stating that it would be injurious to their businesses and by the extent of their economy. ...

Description of Wheatley’s Essay

Margaret Wheatley’s Essay “Innovation Means Relying on Everyone’s Creativity” has two central points guiding a wealth of practical knowledge on organizational leadership gained through her experiences. The first is that organizations act in the same way as living organism. The whole of the organization can be seen as a species that will change according to alterations to environmental conditions. The second part of her thesis is “People only support what they create” (Wheatley, 2001). This means that in order to get support for new policies or changes to the organization, everyone within the organization must play a role in enacting ...

Introduction:

Living organisms are equipped with robust machinery for executing a myriad of tasks to meet the day to day biological challenges. This machinery in turn relies on one or more interconnected pathways or networks composed of nucleic acid, proteins and other essential constituents. To say, it is the precise function of these components which determines the physiological well being organisms. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinases is one such known component that performs diverse physiological roles through its associations with the molecular machinery.
mTOR is a protein that responds to metabolism and ageing, intercellular stress to growth regulation, growth factors ...

Sustainable development and business ethics are interrelated in many respects. Sustainable development is understood as a form of human development where resource use aims to ensure as human needs are met the natural systems and the environment is sustained. Business ethics on the other hand refers to the principles that govern the acceptable conduct in business organizations. Any business organization that has sober set principles can easily respect the legal procedures that govern the use of resources found in the natural systems and environment. Many states have ratified laws that protect and regulate the use of resources fostering economic growth ...

The article’s topic talks about ways in which multiple traits undergo adaptive evolution using multiple mutations at a single gene. This is an important topic because different scientists have been coming up with varying theories regarding adaptive evolution. For example, Darwin claimed that adaptation only happens in the presence of slight successive variations. In supporting Darwin’s idea, Fisher, a scientist asserted that mutations tend to be pleiotropic in nature thus causing varying effects in relating population. Therefore, the topic is essential in assessing the effect of mutations as well as their pleiotropic effect (Linnen, Poh, Peterson, Barrett, Larson, Jensen & ...

Despite the relative lack of information on the future implications of stem-cell therapies, research has sped ahead (Daley, et al. 793). As an example of the rapid pace of research, the International Society for Stem Cell Research, arguably the biggest international professional organization involved in stem cell research, has been obliged to update its guidelines three times in ten years (Daley, et al. 787). The purpose of this paper is to present some of the controversies evoked by stem cell research and therapies.
One of the reasons given for the rapid uptake of stem cell therapies is the appeal ...

Introduction

Trillions of microbes constitute the “Metagenome” of the human gut. This is the organ called microbiome, which is highly essential, and offers the host benefits such as metabolic abilities, pathogen protection, immune system enhancement, and GI tract developmental modulations (De Fillipo, et al.).
In their study, three questions regarding the evolution of the human microbiota have been raised. They are: (1) how does the partitioning of bacterial diversity between and within two populations studied? (2) Does there exist a correlation between the diet and bacterial diversity?; and (3) considering the varied geography and hygienic conditions, what is the bacterial ...

In her TED talk, a sociologist and law professor Dorothy Roberts examines the faults of race-based medicine. She critics the Western medicine's tendency to consider the race as a biological rather than a social category, pointing out the injustices and negative implications of this biased and outdated practice.
Roberts argues that race is used as a useless proxy that more often than not distracts rather than helps with diagnoses and treatments. When doctors focus on race they disregard patients' symptoms, family illnesses, as well as other potentially useful information. She asserts that these variables are more evidence-based than the ...

Child development is a term that refers to the psychological, emotional and biological changes that usually take place in human beings between the ages of birth and at the end of adolescence. Child development is a continuous process which has predictable sequence but at the same time having a unique perspective in every child. The process of child development does not take place at the same rate on all children. Each step in the development of the children is marked by different traits and must all always be preceded by the previous development. The process of child development is ...

The US alfalfa hay has a high demand in China. The high protein content of the hay has made it quite a preferred feed for the cows among the dairy owners in China. Almost half of the alfalfa hay produced in the US is shipped to China. The exports of alfalfa hay to China had reached 785,000 tons in 2013 . But the exports have received a severe blow in recent times. The Chinese authorities have found the imports of hay from USA to contain a genetically modified strain of alfalfa which has not been approved by the government ...

Chimpanzees are genetically very close to human beings. As a result, these animals are very useful when conducting human biomedical and behavioral research (National Academies of Science). Plenty of research have been done using these animals leading to great developments in public health. Although these primates have helped researchers to make plenty of contribution to public health, some people feel that other alternatives should be considered.
It is true that chimpanzees have played a vital role in medical research. However, their use as animal models is no longer appealing as technology provides alternatives. Complete discontinuation of chimpanzees in laboratories ...

In the study published in the journal, Genetic Testing and Molecular Biomarkers, researchers worked on the determination of distribution of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) phenotypes or alleles in Serbian patients having lung diseases. Researchers told that Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) is an important inhibitor of neutrophil elastase, and its deficiency (A1ATD), which is a genetic risk factor, can result in early-onset emphysema (Topic et al., 2012). Research shows A1ATD is significantly associated with family history. Moreover, estimations showed that from 1% to 3% of patients having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are found to have A1ATD (Badawy, El Qarn, & Mohamadeen, 2013).

It appreciates that industrial hygiene now reflects changes in health risk assessment methodology and practice. Industrial hygienists can practice several emerging techniques as they enhance responses to risk assessment. The effect of enzymes that metabolize occupationally relevant toxicants. Genes vary from one person to another and examinations of genetic data can reduce the unit risk of substances such as dichlorolethane by a factor of more than 100 from previous risk assessments. The integration of genetic information into risk ...

This article provides a comprehensive review of the article by Lin (2002). This article addresses how media portrays racism and its influence to lifestyle and health. A sociological approach to the problem of racism is applied, arguing that the society needs to understand the different forms of racism, biological origin of racism, and its meaning in the society. Therefore, sociological concepts such as ethnocentrism, race, and ethnicity can vastly influence media’s perception on racism. The three concepts have different meanings, but are all related and can influence health practitioner’s ability to evaluate media’s coverage of racism issues. ...

Caffeine has been a favorite go-to substance of people who suffer from lethargy when waking up in the morning or staying late at night for work. In the article Caffeine Use Disorder: Widespread Health Problems that Needs More Attention the American University (2014) provides a logical argument on the negative side effects of caffeine. The institution also gives a fair warning to people that these effects can lead to very serious disorders if not addressed accordingly.
Several studies have reported the positive benefits of caffeine. Manufacturers have capitalized on the antioxidant properties (Ziaedini, Jafari and Zakeri, 2010) of the substance to ...

Every child goes through developmental stages. According to Kyla Boyse, RN (2013) in her article “Developmental Milestones, University of Michigan Health Systems, “Child development refers to how a child becomes able to do more complex things as they get older.” This process of development involves cognitive development, social and emotional development, speech and language development and learning and mastering fine motor skills. Between the ages of 6 to 12 a child is expected to have developed strong physical, emotional and mental abilities. Although all children are expected to go through the same developmental stages not all of them develop the same way ...

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that is related to serious types of traumatic incidents in life. This disorder got special attention in 1980 and since then scientists are working on this problem. PTSD is one of those considerable public health issues that affect women more than men. It is also common in combat veterans and people who have experienced physical injuries. The U.S. population surveys show that lifetime PTSD prevalence rates range from 7% to 8%. Most important factors in the development ...

The DNA Dilemma: A Test That Could Change Your Life by Bonnie Rochman, TIME, December 24 2012

The article discusses whether it's both professional and ethical for genomics and genetics to release the DNA and fine chromosomal test results to their patients in full without considering the consequences. DNA results can truly change its life; it could mean breaking of a marriage, realization that death is killing slowly from within, acquiring funding to fight the illness, higher funding into research for a disease cure.
Some patient's results withheld while others are given in part to protect the patient interests. The practice has proven to be a dilemma for the society because both ways there are harder consequences. For ...

Technology has led to efficiency in the health care industry. This technology continues to expand due to high investment in research and development in health care. As the technology improves, so will there be more job opportunities for practitioners. New careers will materialize as people handle technology in affecting the health care (Fett, 2006). Technology has given a major boost in quickly gathering medical records since they can rely on the computer system. The computer system enables the review of patients’ records and scheduling of appointments as well as administration of treatment. There have been significant innovations in the field ...
