New Test For Detection of Recurrent Thyroid Cancer A new test for follow up after treatment for thyroid cancer proves more sensitive than conventional tests and does not require stopping l-thyroxine treatment prior to the test. thyroid cancer • recurrent thryoid cancer • thyroglobulin (tg) messenger ribonucleic acid (mrn • thyroglobulin mrna
How a Cell Synthesizes Protein When a cell requires more of a specific protein, messenger RNA is made from the gene for that protein and during translation the information is converted to new protein. how are proteins synthesized • what specifies the amino acid order in a protein • what is translation • initiation codon • termination codon
What is Ribonucleic Acid or RNA? RNA, ribonucleic acid, is the genetic material that transcribes DNA's instructions and translates instruction into construction of protein. what is rna • ribonucleic acid • nucleic acid • mrna • rrna

Human AGTR1 Expression The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) increases blood pressure by activating AT1R, which occurs in numbers determined by its gene expression. human agtr1 gene expression • at1r expression • angiotensin ii type 1 receptor gene • agtr1 transcriptional regulation • genetic influence on cardiovascular disease
Nucleic Acid Function - DNA and RNA Nucleic acids, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are the vital genetic blueprints, messengers and builders of the cellular world. nucleic acid function • nucleic acid structure • dna replication • dna transcription • genetic transcription
Making Sense of the Genetics of RNA Viruses The genetic material of a virus can be either DNA or RNA, and if it is single-stranded RNA, the biologist must then make sense of the type of strand. viral rna sense strand • negative sense strand • positive sense strand • viral genome • sense strand

What Is a Genetic DNA Mutation? A mutation is a rare change in a gene's DNA sequence that can result in a defective cellular protein. This article covers the basics of genetic mutation. what is a genetic mutation • what is a gene mutation • what is dna mutation • genome mutation • mutated gene
Antiviral Therapy In order to be effective, antiviral agents must be capable of reaching the infected organ(s) and preventing viral replication without affecting host cell function. virus • antiviral • replication • reproduction • dna
Polymerization of DNA & RNA Building Blocks Prior to cell division, a new copy of DNA must be built. And in order for our cells to make proteins, RNA must be created from the DNA template. How is this accomplished? nucleic acid synthesis • nucleic acid polymerization • deoxyribonucleic acid • nucleic acid transcription • rna translation
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Single nucleotide polymorphisms are minor alterations in the genetic code, but they can result in very important downstream effects on protein function and expression. effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms • effect of snps • definition of snps • definition of single nucleotide polymorphisms • what are snps
Streptomycin – Antibiotics are the metabolic by-products of microorganisms that in very small amounts are detrimental or inhibitory to other microorganisms. streptomycin • antibiotic • streptomycin mode of action • aminoglycosidic antibiotic • streptomycin structure
Small-scale Genetic DNA Mutation The result of these genetic mistakes can range from no effect on the organism to the production a defective cellular protein that may have disastrous implications. small mutations • genetic mutations • point mutations • frameshift mutations • gene insertion |
