These drugs function by blocking synthesis of the enzymes used to release these fatty acids from the cell membrane, preventing the synthesis of prostaglandins. Steroid drugs are commonly used to ...

Other cells of the neural tissue, such as microglia, may produce IL-1β in response to peripheral inflammation. Also, microglia upregulate COX-2 expression in response to a number of ...

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found in both animal and plant cells. All life on ...

A new approach to elucidate the operation and control of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is being developed. A global reactor engineering approach is applied to PEM fuel cells to ...

The electronics weren’t hard, but custom membrane keypads are hard to come by. No matter, because it’s actually pretty easy to build your own. Membrane switches are usually made with ...

We searched MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library between 1980 and November 2010 using multiple terms and combinations, including labor, induced/or induction of labor, prostaglandin or prostaglandins ...

Oct. 21, 2024 — New research has revealed a connection between ancient viral DNA embedded in the human genome and the genetic risk for two major diseases that affect ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

This remodeling enables cells to efficiently transport proteins and membrane lipids, facilitating the formation of nascent spore membranes. Sexual reproduction, a common mode of reproduction among ...

We conducted a comprehensive literature search of the English language literature using Medline and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. The search covered the period from January 1980 to ...

According to many experts, we may soon find ourselves using fuel cells to generate electrical power for all sorts of objects we use every day. A fuel cell is a device that uses a source of fuel ...
