Proteins are dynamic entities in cellular solution which perform a remarkably large number of functions within cells and as such are the materials central to cellular function. The central dogma of structural biology is that a folded protein structure is essential for its biological function like enzyme mechanisms and regulation, transport across membranes, the building […]
Gene regulation refers to a broad range of mechanisms that cells use to control genes to be expressed in their DNA and further to make a functional product such as a protein. Cells respond and adapt to environmental signals by turning on or off the expression of appropriate genes. Gene expression is the process through […]
Food is the basic human need, responsible for the normal performance of important functions that are crucial for human growth. Once consumed, it is mainly responsible for the production of energy, heat, replenishment, and growth material for the body. Food should not be considered only as a source of energy but it is a cost-effective […]
Blood provides oxygen to billions of tissues and cells in the human body. Hemostasis is the primary stage of wound healing which involves coagulation. Platelets are the crucial mediators that are activated upon tissue injury that encourage primary hemostasis via adhesion, activation, and aggregation. They play a significant role in stimulating the coagulation factors and […]
