SA:V is used to explain the diffusion of small molecules, like oxygen and carbon dioxide between air, blood and cells, [3] water loss by animals, [4] bacterial morphogenesis, [5] organism's thermoregulation, [6] design of artificial bone tissue, [7] artificial lungs [8] and many more biological and biotechnological structures. For more examples ...
Some of these large cells, although immature (reticulocytes), are released early from the marrow in an attempt to compensate for the anemia. [114] Both adults and children need folate to make normal red and white blood cells and prevent anemia, which causes fatigue, weakness, and inability to concentrate. [115] [116]
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the lymphoid line of blood cells characterized by the development of large numbers of immature lymphocytes. [1] Symptoms may include feeling tired, pale skin color, fever, easy bleeding or bruising, enlarged lymph nodes, or bone pain. [1]
Normal red blood cells are quite elastic and have a biconcave disc shape, which allows the cells to deform to pass through capillaries. In sickle cell disease, low oxygen tension promotes red blood cell sickling and repeated episodes of sickling damage the cell membrane and decrease the cell's elasticity. These cells fail to return to normal ...
[195] [29] Clozapine is of benefit to around half of this group although it has the potentially serious side effect of agranulocytosis (lowered white blood cell count) in less than 4% of people. [27] [87] [196] About 30 to 50 percent of people with schizophrenia do not accept that they have an illness or comply with their recommended treatment ...
Mosaic Down syndrome is diagnosed when there is a mixture of two types of cells: some cells have three copies of chromosome 21 but some cells have the typical two copies of chromosome 21. [18] This type is the least common form of Down syndrome and accounts for only about 1% of all cases. [ 93 ]

In time, the pearl sac's external mantle cells proceed to the formation of tabular aragonite. When the transition to nacre secretion occurs, the brown pebble becomes covered with a nacreous coating. During this process, the pearl sac seems to travel into the shell; however, the sac actually stays in its original relative position the mantle ...
