Mitral Valve Prolapse: Benign Syndrome?
Sharon Anderson explores Mitral Valve Prolapse, a syndrome that has wondered many for many years, and sheds mild on a illness that is affecting such a lot of and is addressed too little. the indicators of the sickness will not be multiple from these of different diseases: palpitations, fainting, fatigue, shortness of breath, migraine complications, chest discomfort, episodes of tremendous swift or abnormal heartbeat, dizziness and lightheadedness.
Howard Pattee is a physicist who for a few years has taken his personal direction in learning the physics of symbols, that's now a starting place for biosemiotics. by means of extending von Neumann’s logical specifications for self-replication, to the actual standards of symbolic guideline on the molecular point, he concludes kind of quantum dimension is critical for all times.
Animal cells are the popular “cell factories” for the creation of complicated molecules and antibodies to be used as prophylactics, therapeutics or diagnostics. Animal cells are required for the proper post-translational processing (including glycosylation) of biopharmaceutical protein items. they're used for the construction of viral vectors for gene remedy.

Spina bifida, anencephaly, and hydrocephaly, alone or in combination encompass over 90% of all congenital malformations of the nervous system, and nearly a third of all major congenital malformations recognizable at or shortly after birth.
Neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, are characterized by a complex set of signs and symptoms with damage to more than one region and more than one neurotransmitter involved, such that patients suffering from these diseases might not benefit from a single neural transplant but may require dissimilar transplants in different locations. Because these diseases are also progressive and degenerative, it is possible that the transplant itself will be subject to the same progressive and degenerative process.
