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
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
The protein p53 is the product of the gene, TP53. Mutation in the TP53 gene has been associated with the pathology of several malignant cancers. TP53 is classified as a tumour-suppressor gene - it acts as a 'brake' during the cell cycle, and prevents cells from replicating too quickly. All human cells, apart from gametes… Continue reading The role of p53 in cancer
