Introduction

Antigen Presentation
Antigen presentation plays a pivotal role in the immune system through which pathogenic antigens are processed and coupled along with major histocompatibility complex (MHC), and presented to T cells for their effector response. Macrophages, B cells and dendritic cells are the primary antigen presenting cells (APC’s). Intracellular antigens generated by viruses, or some cytoplasmic bacterial antigens are digested by the host cells and coupled with MHC Class I by Transporter associated with antigen Processing complex (TAP), which transports them to the cell surface and presents to CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (Germain, R 1994). These cells elicit a ...

Introduction

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the term used to describe a wide range of malignant tumors originating in the upper aero digestive tract (9). HNC imposes acute suffering on the patients while swallowing, breathing or speaking. Tobacco and alcohol are the primary causes in majority cases of HNC (18). Cancer is the second leading cause of death with estimates of 1.66M and 0.58M in 2013 for new cases and deaths respectively (15,16). Endoscopy, biopsy, mirror scan and CT/MRI imaging are commonly used methods for diagnosis in the last 20 years.

Ways of treating HNC

The treatment methods (10) vary from medication, abstinence ...

Using NanoMaterials to Inhibit Cancer Cell Growth

According to the American Cancer Society, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2013). Thus, there are intensive efforts to develop new approaches for treating this chronic disease. A type of compound that is known to have inhibitory effects on cell growth are nanomaterials (Arora, Rajwade, & Paknikar, 2012), so investigation into the anti-cancer effects of these molecules is appropriate. Furthermore, nanomaterials have previously been studied as a delivery method for cancer drugs with good results (Tripisciano Kraemer, Taylor, & Brorowiak-Palen, 2009). The present research proposes studying the use of nanomaterials ...

Introduction

Millions of cells are always being removed in the human body in order to regulate biological pathways and keep cells healthy through a particular mechanism called cell death or apoptosis. Through apoptosis, such homeostatic death of cells has been defined as a tolerogenic or a non-immunogenic event for many years [1]. However, during the past few years, scientists have discovered the occurrence of a different concept of cell death – immunogenic cell death (ICD), where the death of a cell stimulates a response from the immune system against antigens of a dead cell, and this mechanism of cell death may ...

Description of the Chosen Organization

One of the most important points to learn in public administration courses is the way how nonprofit and government-related organizations work. The first thing that has to be remembered is that they work differently compared to for-profits mainly based on the fact that their actions and behaviors are often not motivated by profit. However, critics would suggest that all organizations, be it nonprofit or for-profit may at some point, be validly considered as a form of for-profit organization because they both rely on a steady stream of income paired with sound and effective forms of budget management in order ...

Specific Aims

Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) encodes a DNA-editing deaminase, which is a group of the Cytidine Deaminase family (Bello). This protein is concerned in somatic gene conversion, hypermutation, and class-switch recombination of Ig (immunoglobulin genes). Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) has been expressed in B cells at germinal center and starts the events, which lead to class switch recombination of immunoglobulin genes and somatic hypermutation. Additionally to this primary responsibility in immune diversification, deviant targeting of Activation-induced cytidine deaminase activity leads to translocations and point mutations of oncogenes linked with B-cell lymphoma. Lately, AID has been related in active DNA demethylation (Sariah).

Pregnancy Is Treated as a Disease in Today’s Society, in Canada

Pregnancy is considered as a natural phenomenon. Whereas some people believe that pregnancy is a disease and it has to be treated before giving birth to a child (McKay, 2006). Pregnancy is a God gifted thing and nobody can interrupt this system. Although there might be some diseases attached with the pregnancy, but considering pregnancy as a disease itself is wrong. Diabetes and hypertension are commonly known complaints of pregnant women in Canada. The reason for this is not pregnancy, but the excessive weight gain, breast cancer and HIV during the pregnancy (Tata, et. al. 2005).

Problem statement: To study and analyze the Canadian pregnancy treatment.
