Extremophilic Microorganisms: Introduction, Types and Applications

Introduction: The microorganisms are present in every nitch on the earth, except volcano and vacuum. These microorganisms have high adaptability. The majority of the microorganisms survive and grow in normal conditions like room temperature, around neutral pH, etc. But some microorganism survives and grow in extreme conditions like very high or very low temperature, salt […]

Cell Interaction and Integration: Cell surface, Cell junctions, Cell signals

Introduction: Cell are to survive in varying conditions; therefore, they should be able to get stimuli and respond to differences caused in the environment. Such responses are based on the integration of several components or systems mediated by its membranes, receptors, chemicals, effectors, pH differences, etc. They perform appropriate activities that enhance the chances of

Autophagy- Definition, Types, Mechanism, Regulations, Diseases

Introduction: Mechanism: Initiation: Autophagy is initiated by the activation of autophagy-related genes, which leads to the formation of a double-membraned vesicle called the autophagosome. Nucleation: The autophagosome is formed through a process called nucleation, which involves the assembly of a protein complex called the phagophore assembly site (PAS). The PAS consists of several proteins, including

Necrosis- Definition, Types, Causes, Mechanism, Symptoms, Treatment

Introduction: Necrosis is defined as irreversible cell damage and eventual cell death caused by pathogenic processes. It is an uncontrolled cell death that causes enlargement of the cell organelles, plasma membrane rupture and ultimately cell lysis, and leakage of intracellular contents into surrounding tissue, resulting in tissue injury. It is the death of cells or

Animal Cell- Definition, Structure, Types, Functions

Introduction: An animal cell is a type of eukaryotic cell that is characteristic of animals. Eukaryotic cells are characterized by the presence of a true nucleus, which contains the cell’s genetic material in the form of DNA. Animal cells also have several other membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria, which are responsible for generating energy for
