B-cells are an integral part of the adaptive immune system. This article delves into B-cell structure, developmental pathways, the dynamic interaction between B-cells and T-cells, and antibody production as part of the immune response against pathogens. Immunity conferred by B-cells is called humoral immunity, since the B-cells originate and mature in the the bone marrow… Continue reading Understanding B-Cells: Key to Humoral Immunity

Biology Biteables – Liver Structure and Function
The liver is a complex organ that carries out many different functions in the body. The liver is divided into lobes, each lobe is divided in hexagonal lobules, with a rich blood supply. The basic structure of the liver is made up of a single type of cell, called hepatocytes. Figure 1: Schematic showing cross-section… Continue reading Biology Biteables – Liver Structure and Function
Biology Biteables – Translation (Protein Synthesis)
Translation is the process of converting the information on messenger RNA (mRNA) into a string of amino acids, called a polypeptide chain. The process of translation, the second stage of protein synthesis. Initiation At the start of Translation, the ribosome interacts with the start codon and attaches to the mRNA, along with an initiator tRNA.… Continue reading Biology Biteables – Translation (Protein Synthesis)
