Sperm motility describes the ability of sperm to move properly through the female reproductive tract (internal fertilization) or through water (external fertilization) to reach the egg. Sperm motil...
Protection from DNA damaging agents
Mucociliary clearance, also referred to as mucociliary apparatus or mucociliar clearance (MCC), derived from mucus, cilia (cilia of the tracheal surface epithelium in the respiratory tract) and cle...
Imprinting may cause problems in cloning, with clones having DNA that is not methylated in the correct positions. It is possible that this is due to a lack of time for reprogramming to be completel...
Delivery using blood platelets
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels.[1] Common CVDs include: ischemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, hypertensive heart disease, rheumatic hear...
Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLCO1B1 gene.[1][2] Pharmacogenomic research indicates that genetic variations in this gene ...
Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that induce the survival,[1] development, and function[2] of neurons. They belong to a class of growth factors, secreted proteins that are capable of signa...
Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause infection. This article deals with human pathogenic bacteria.
Activation of CD4+ T cells occurs through the simultaneous engagement of the T cell receptor and a costimulatory molecule (like CD28, or ICOS) on the T cell by the major histocompatibility complex ...
Edema related to ischemia-reperfusion
Particle distribution within a viscoelastic specimen
Nerve tissue stimulation
A Vitamin K-dependent protein (VKDP) is a protein that can bind calcium ions but only after being carboxylated. This carboxylation, said to activate the protein, is facilitated by some form of Vita...
Heparin (from Ancient Greek ηπαρ (hepar), liver), a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan, is widely used as an injectable anticoagulant, and has the highest negative charge density of any known biolog...
Photomanipulation of protein activity
A nanopore is a very small hole. It may, for example, be created by a pore-forming protein or as a hole in synthetic materials such as silicon or graphene.
Cryopreservation or cryoconservation is a process where cells, whole tissues, or any other substances susceptible to damage caused by chemical reactivity or time are preserved by cooling to sub-zer...
Factor VII (EC 3.4.21.21, blood-coagulation factor VIIa, activated blood coagulation factor VII, formerly known as proconvertin) is one of the proteins that causes blood to clot in the coagulation ...
The tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) is a group of cytokine receptors characterized by the ability to bind tumor necrosis factors (TNFs) via an extracellular cysteine-rich domain...
