The cellular memory hypothesis assumes information storage at the molecular genetic and cellular levels. The best-known example of cellular memory is with the antigen memory of the immune system. Meanwhile, the BMI1 protein of cellular memory is associated with carcinogenesis. What is cellular memory? The cellular memory hypothesis assumes information storage at the molecular genetic … Cellular Memory: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The excitatory postsynaptic potential is an excitatory potential in the postsynaptic membrane of neurons. The individual potentials are summed spatially and temporally and can give rise to an action potential. Transmission disorders such as myasthenia gravis or other myasthenias disrupt these processes. What is the excitatory postsynaptic potential? The excitatory postsynaptic potential is an excitatory … Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential: Function, Role & Diseases
Leishmania are human pathogenic protozoa. The parasites spread through two host organisms and alternate their host between insect and vertebrate. Infection with Leishmania results in leishmaniasis. What are leishmania? Protozoa are primordial animals or protozoa that can be classified as animal eukaryotic protozoa because of their heterotrophic lifestyle and mobility. According to Grell, they are … Leishmania: Infection, Transmission & Diseases

The term blood volume refers to the total amount of blood in the body. The total amount of blood in the … Blood Volume: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
In autocrine secretion, glands release messenger substances to the environment and reabsorb them themselves through receptors. This process plays a role in immune responses as well as cell growth, differentiation, and regeneration. Meanwhile, cancer is associated with dysregulation in autocrine secretion. What is autocrine secretion? In autocrine secretion, glands release second messengers to the environment … Autocrine Secretion: Function, Role & Diseases
Mycobacteria represent a genus of aerobic bacteria. Some of their species cause serious diseases such as leprosy and tuberculosis. What are mycobacteria? From Mycobacterium or Mycobacterium is formed a genus of bacteria that includes about 100 species. Mycobacteria belong to the family Mycobacteriaceae, of which they are the only representatives. Mycobacteria also include species that … Mycobacteria: Infection, Transmission & Diseases
Live vaccines are grown in a pharmacology laboratory to produce attenuated pathogens of a disease. These attenuated pathogens are injected into the human body, activating the immune system to respond. What are live vaccines? Live vaccines are grown in a pharmacology laboratory to produce attenuated pathogens of a disease. Live vaccines involve immunization by functional … Live Vaccines: Effects, Uses & Risks
T phages are viruses that are bacteriophages specialized to infect only Escherichia coli intestinal bacteria (coliphages). There are 7 different known species, designated T1 to T7, of which the even-numbered ones are distinguished from the odd-numbered species by certain common features. In the body, T phages are usually recognized by the immune system; outside the … T Phage: Infection, Transmission & Diseases
