Anti-Aging Measures: Acid Base Balance
All important metabolic processes – enzymatic reactions, transport mechanisms, membrane potential changes, etc. – in our body are dependent on an optimal pH value, which lies between 7.38 and 7.42. To ensure that the pH is permanently in this range, our body has a special regulatory mechanism, the acid-base balance. The goal is homeostasis – … Anti-Aging Measures: Acid Base Balance

Chromosomes: Structure and Function
Chromosomes are strands of deoxyribonucleic acid containing so-called histones (basic proteins within a nucleus) and other proteins; the mixture of DNA, histones, and other proteins is also called chromatin. They contain genes and their specific genetic information. Histones are basic proteins that not only serve to package DNA, but are also essential for the expression … Chromosomes: Structure and Function

Rose Lichen (Pityriasis Rosea): Causes
Pathogenesis (disease development) The pathogenesis is not clear. Etiology (causes) Several theories are currently being discussed, including a suspected association with the herpes virus.

Dandruff and Scalp Psoriasis Plaques
Dandruff (squama; skin scales; ICD-10 R23.4: changes in skin relief) occurs when cells of the uppermost skin layer, the keratinocytes (horny cells), die and consequently separate from the other skin layers. This is a physiological (natural, normal) process and serves to regenerate the skin. Normally, these skin scales are not visible. Only from an aggregation … Dandruff and Scalp Psoriasis Plaques
