Apoptosis (/ˌæpəˈtoʊsɪs/;[2][3] from Ancient Greek ἀπό apo, "by, from, of, since, than" and πτῶσις ptōsis, "fall") is the process of programmed cell death (PCD) that may occur in multicellular orga...
Substance detection in biological samples
The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (also known as the NMDA receptor or NMDAR), a glutamate receptor, is the predominant molecular device for controlling synaptic plasticity and memory function.
Reconstruction of 3-D objects
Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a specific form of arteriosclerosis in which an artery wall thickens as a result of invasion and accumulation of white b...
T-cell leukemia homeobox protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLX1 gene.
A tuner is a subsystem that receives radio frequency (RF) transmissions like radio broadcasts and converts the selected carrier frequency and its associated bandwidth into a fixed frequency that is...
Intimal hyperplasia is the thickening of the tunica intima of a blood vessel as a complication of a reconstruction procedure or endarterectomy. Intimal hyperplasia is the universal response of a ve...
Delta-sarcoglycan is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SGCD gene. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the four known components of the sarcoglycan complex, which is a subcomplex of...
Mammaglobin is a gene that encodes a 10-kilodalton glycoprotein.[1] In humans expression of the gene is limited to the adult mammary gland, a correlation between increased expression of the gene an...
Haemophilus surface proteins
Genetically modified crops (GMCs, GM crops, or biotech crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases the aim is to in...
