Meiosis refers to a form of cell division in which, in addition to cell division, the diploid chromosome set is reduced to a haploid chromosome set so that the newly formed cells each have only one set of chromosomes. In the human organism, meiosis serves to generate haploid germ cells, which have a single set … Meiosis: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
DNA damage can be caused by a variety of causes such as UV radiation. This damage is then repaired by a variety of DNA repair mechanisms so that subsequent protein biosynthesis, which is necessary fϋr all processes in the body, can proceed smoothly. What is DNA repair? DNA consists of a double strand and is … DNA Repair: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
DNA synthesis occurs as part of the replication of DNA. DNA is the carrier of genetic information and controls all life processes. It is located in the nucleus of the cell in humans as in all other living organisms. DNA has the form of a double strand, similar to a winding rope ladder, which is … DNA Synthesis: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Nerve conduction is the ability of nerve fibers to transmit bioelectrical impulses at a specific rate to both directions of conduction. Conduction occurs via action potentials in salvatory excitatory conduction. In diseases such as polyneuropathy, nerve conduction is impaired. What is nerve conduction? Nerve conductance is the ability of nerve fibers to transmit bioelectrical impulses … Nerve Conduction: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The term catabolism covers all metabolic processes of the body in the course of which the complex and sometimes high-molecular proteins, carbohydrates (polysaccharides), and fats are broken down into their simpler building blocks, usually with the generation of energy. The individual building blocks are then available for the synthesis of new required substances or are … Catabolism: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Catalysis corresponds to the lowering of the activation energy required for chemical and biological reactions. Catalytic lowering of the required amount of energy is made possible by a catalyst, which in biology corresponds to an enzyme. In enzymatic diseases, the catalytic properties of enzymes may be reduced or even abolished. What is catalysis? Catalytic reduction … Catalysis: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Desmin is a protein found as an intermediate filament in the cytoskeleton and in striated and smooth muscle. Its role is to stabilize cells and to connect muscular structures. Genetic alterations (mutations) that cause disorders in desmin synthesis are associated with various muscle diseases such as desminopathy or cardiomyopathy. What is desmin? Desmin is a … Desmin: Structure, Function & Diseases
It is an everyday phenomenon that when entering a dark room, initially poor vision improves as the eyes adapt to the light conditions. This is called dark adaptation and is essential for scotopic vision at night. What is scotopic vision? Scotopic vision refers to seeing in the dark. Scotopic vision refers to seeing in the … Scotopic Vision: Function, Task & Diseases
Senescence describes the degenerative process that accompanies natural aging. It is not a synonym for aging itself, but merely encompasses its degenerative aspects. What is senescence? Senescence describes the degenerative process that accompanies natural aging. Every living thing ages. The aging process is accompanied by senescence of its cells: that is, they do not divide … Senescence: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Gene expression refers to the expression and development of a genetically predisposed characteristic of a living being. This is contrasted with genetic information that is not expressed and can only be detected by DNA analysis. What is gene expression? Gene expression refers to the expression and development of a genetically predisposed trait of a living … Gene Expression: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Changes in the human genome, that is, the totality of all genes, can manifest themselves in beneficial symptoms, but usually in adverse symptoms. The purpose here is to elucidate how gene mutations occur, how they are diagnosed, what type of symptoms they can cause, and how medicine treats and treats them. It is not possible … Gene Mutation: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Once clinical development is complete and the arhalofenate compound has the necessary clearances, it will be used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In animal studies, it has been shown to effectively lower not only blood glucose levels but also triglyceride levels in the bloodstream. However, this mechanism is still largely unexplored. What is … Arhalofenate: Effects, Uses & Risks
