Docking is the intentional removal of part of an animal's tail or, sometimes, ears. The term cropping is more commonly used in reference to the cropping of ears, while docking more commonly—but not exclusively—refers to the tail; the term tailing is used, also. The term has its origins in the living flesh of the tail, commonly known as the ...
In the field of molecular modeling, docking is a method which predicts the preferred orientation of one molecule to a second when a ligand and a target are bound to each other to form a stable complex. [1] Knowledge of the preferred orientation in turn may be used to predict the strength of association or binding affinity between two molecules ...
Macromolecular docking is the computational modelling of the quaternary structure of complexes formed by two or more interacting biological macromolecules. Protein –protein complexes are the most commonly attempted targets of such modelling, followed by protein– nucleic acid complexes. The ultimate goal of docking is the prediction of the ...
Vesicle fusion. Vesicle fusion is the merging of a vesicle with other vesicles or a part of a cell membrane. In the latter case, it is the end stage of secretion from secretory vesicles, where their contents are expelled from the cell through exocytosis. Vesicles can also fuse with other target cell compartments, such as a lysosome.
Exocytosis (/ ˌɛksoʊsaɪˈtoʊsɪs / [1][2]) is a form of active transport and bulk transport in which a cell transports molecules (e.g., neurotransmitters and proteins) out of the cell (exo- + cytosis). As an active transport mechanism, exocytosis requires the use of energy to transport material. Exocytosis and its counterpart, endocytosis ...
In one experiment, T.H. Morgan found that a piece corresponding to 1/279th of a planarian [44] or a fragment with as few as 10,000 cells can successfully regenerate into a new worm within one to two weeks. [47] After amputation, stump cells form a blastema formed from neoblasts, pluripotent cells found throughout the planarian body. [48]
Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the cells in the bone marrow, is diagnosed in more than 35,000 people in the U.S. each year, according to the American Cancer Society.
The Spemann-Mangold organizer is a group of cells that are responsible for the induction of the neural tissues during development in amphibian embryos.First described in 1924 by Hans Spemann and Hilde Mangold, the introduction of the organizer provided evidence that the fate of cells can be influenced by factors from other cell populations.
