CRISPR-Cas: the effective immune systems in the prokaryotes
Approximately all sequenced archaeal and half of eubacterial genomes have some sort of adaptive immune system, which enables them to target and cleave invading foreign genetic elements by an RNAi-like pathway. CRISPR–Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats–CRISPR-associated proteins) systems consist of the CRISPR loci with multiple copies of a short repeat sequence separa...
متن کاملTHE EFFECTS OF DEPRESSION ON ENDOICRINE AND IMMUNE SYSTEMS

Students with marks 5 or above were selected as the control (n=26) and those with marks of 20 or higher were chosen as the test group (n=27).

متن کاملThe immune system in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Friend or foe
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the X-linked dystrophin gene, resulting in reduced or absent protein production, subsequently leading to the structural instability of the dystroglycan complex (DGC), muscle degeneration, and early death in males. Thus, current treatments have been targeting the genetic defect either by bypassing the mutation through ...
متن کاملThe immune system in cancer metastasis: friend or foe?
Metastatic disease is the leading cause of death among cancer patients and involves a complex and inefficient process. Every step of the metastatic process can be rate limiting and is influenced by non-malignant host cells interacting with the tumor cell. Over a century ago, experiments first indicated a link between the immune system and metastasis. This phenomenon, called concomitant immunity...
