Developing queen larvae surrounded by royal jelly. Royal jelly is a honey bee secretion that is used in the nutrition of larvae and adult queens. [1] It is secreted from the glands in the hypopharynx of nurse bees, and fed to all larvae in the colony, regardless of sex or caste. [2] Queen larva in a cell on a frame with bees
The cancer stem cell model asserts that within a population of tumour cells, there is only a small subset of cells that are tumourigenic (able to form tumours). These cells are termed cancer stem cells (CSCs), and are marked by the ability to both self-renew and differentiate into non-tumourigenic progeny. The CSC model posits that the ...
Queen bee acid (10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid or 10-HDA) is a fatty acid found in royal jelly. [1] [2] [3] Queen bee acid is being investigated for its potential pharmacological activities. It promotes neurogenesis of neural stem/progenitor cells (cells capable of differentiating into neurons, astrocytes, or oligodendrocytes) in vitro. [4]
He found two proteins as potential markers for freshness of royal jelly protein and named them royal jelly proteins (RJP-1 and RJP-2). RJP-1 was a 57-kDa monomer which is a subunit of a larger complex (oligomer). [5] In 2011, Kamakura claimed that RJP-1 is the main protein for controlling larval development that distinguishes the queen from ...
Andraka talks about his work. Andraka's winning project consisted of a sensor, similar to diabetic test strips, for early-stage pancreatic cancer screening.The sensor, consisting of filter paper coated with single-walled carbon nanotubes and antibodies against human mesothelin, was said to measure the level of mesothelin to test for the presence of cancer in a patient.
[6] [7] For example, analysis of blood samples from cancer patients has found a propensity for increased CTC detection as the disease progresses. [8] Blood tests are easy and safe to perform and multiple samples can be taken over time. By contrast, analysis of solid tumors necessitates invasive procedures that might limit patient compliance.
For example, the ColoGuard test may be used to screen people over 55 years old for colorectal cancer. [57] Cancer is a longtime-scale disease with various progression steps, molecular diagnostics tools can be used for prognosis of cancer progression. For example, the OncoType Dx test by Genomic Health can estimate risk of breast cancer.
The use of haematoxylin and eosin-stained slides to provide specific diagnoses based on morphology is considered to be the core skill of anatomic pathology. The science of staining tissues sections is called histochemistry. Immunohistochemistry – the use of antibodies to detect the presence, abundance, and localization of specific proteins ...
