The color of sea anemones [and corals} is due to the photosynthetic pigment in these intracellular organisms. Bleaching of the coral reef [and their demise] is due to the death of these organisms […]

The heterozygous genotype for sickle-cell anemia has little survival value for North American blacks because ( 1) the sickle-cell allele is being transmitted to the non-black population. 2) immunization programs have nearly eliminated this disease. 3) malaria is uncommon in North America 4) the frequency of the sickle-cell allele is declining. Question 10 0 / […]

The composition of biological membranes

The composition of biological membranes found in archaea is distinct from biological membranes found in bacteria and eukaryotic cells. The unique lipid composition is thought to afford protection from extreme environments that many archaea inhabit. 10. To survive extreme environments archaea must have very stable biological membranes

phase II clinical trials to treat Squamous Cell skin carcinomas

Compound EL03p43, a PKz5b inhibitor, recently entered phase II clinical trials to treat squamous cell skin carcinomas. Initial results were extremely promising, with tumour masses decreasing by > 98% across all drug-treated patients. However, after 38 weeks of treatment, in approximately 13% of patients, the tumours were observed to be again proliferating at a rate […]
