Introduction The virus of rabies mainly belongs to Mononegavirales, viruses that have non-segmented and RNA genomes that consist of negative strands. The virus of rabies can also be determined as lyssa or hydrophobia which is ordinarily a fatal, acute and viral infection that affects the brain and spinal cord nerves. Bite of a rabid animal can transmit the rabies virus and it gradually infects the central nervous stem including the spinal cord and brain when it enters the body. The incubation of this virus starts within a month. During this time, the person experiences severe weakness, viral fever, anxiety, ... Read More

Introduction Gene transfer from one species to another is possible artificially with the introduction of Recombinant DNA Technology in medical science. The rDNA technology is not only become beneficial in the medical sector, but also other sectors like agriculture, animal husbandry, and industrial sectors. The gene modification process is done through several steps. What is Recombinant DNA Technology? Recombinant DNA technology is a step-by-step process of altering the phenotype of a host or entity with the introduction and incorporation of a genetically modified vector into the host’s genome. In rDNA technology, a foreign DNA fragment with the desired gene is ... Read More

Introduction Radicle is mainly determined as embryonic roots that help to absorb water, minerals, calcium, and other nutrients from the soil. The nutrients and water are then transferred to different parts of the plants that help in the growth and development of the plant's fruits and flowers. The embryonic roots that help to transport water and minerals and nutrients to all parts of the flowering plants are determined as the radicles. Radicles can also be further divided into 2 categories: antitropous and syntropous. Radicles generally grow in the depth of the soil and absorb all essential minerals and nutrients ... Read More

Introduction Relevant genetic sources are important in producing artificial DNA. This type of technology is regarded as the recombination procedure. The term genetic engineering is associated with this. Prof. Dale Kiser who first proposed the idea of this technology. In this technology, the joined DNA is inserted into the most appropriate host organism. Integration of genes within vectors is also related to this. What is Recombinant DNA Technology? The technological activity used in combining multiple DNA is regarded as recombinant DNA technology. The discovery of restriction enzymes is very important and impactful part of this technological advancement. In this ... Read More

Introduction Radioactive wastes are the products that are put out by nuclear power plants and at times due to unsafe disposal processes carried out by the workers, the nearby region and the ambiance are liable to get polluted by those radioactive products which in turn would lead to radioactive pollution in the nature. It is harmful to the flora and fauna of that area. What are radioactive wastes? Radioactive or nuclear wastes are the by-products that come out of nuclear reactors, research facilities, and even hospital facilities. These wastes are often generated when the nuclear reactors and nuclear facilities ... Read More

Introduction Kidney stones or renal calculi can be caused by diet, obesity, and some other supplements, and medications. Kidney stone is a curable disease; however, it can create massive pain and uneasiness. Based on the size of the stone, one can have different symptoms. However, we always needs doctors' assistance to get rid of it and to reduce all kinds of risks and dangers that can be caused by kidney stones. Kidney and Its Importance Figure 1: Parts of the Kidney Kidneys are the major parts of the urine system of the human body. It is located on ... Read More

Introduction The human body has two kidneys that can be found on the back side of the abdomen. Its main function is to filter the blood; however, it takes part in other things too. Such as balancing the fluid taken and lost by a person in their daily activities. It helps to stabilize the fluid volume and helps in maintaining blood pressure. It completes its tasks with the help of many hormones and vitamins and in the process; it keeps the human body healthy. What is a Kidney? Figure 1: Kidney Kidneys are the bean-shaped organs in the human ... Read More

Introduction Acute renal failure and chronic renal failure are the two types of it. For a healthy person, the toxins in body gets filtered by kidney are thereupon passed to the bladder whereupon they are removed by the micturition. The failure of kidney in effectively removing the toxins from the body to the condition of renal failure. Causes of Renal Failure Normally it has been seen that the failure of the kidneys takes place as a result of some infectious diseases. Generally, the symptoms of the disease are not shown in the patients who are already suffering from an ... Read More

Introduction The heart of every living organism is made of muscles that are operating to pump gallons of blood. This is an involuntary muscle that starts when the offspring is present inside the womb. It never stops until the person passes away for some reason. The function of pumping blood is the most important activity in the study of cardiology. This process is governed by several nerves in order to regulate nodal tissues. These tissues are known as sinoatrial node and atrioventricular node. They provide chemicals, hormones and various ions that help the heart increase or decrease its activities. ... Read More

Introduction The regions of a root system help a tree to keep the roots safer and stronger in order to get a good supply of water into the tree. The roots serve as the base of a tree as it acts like a mouth of that botanical species. This is the reason why roots must be covered with some soil. The classification in several regions of a root provides a brief overview of these roots. Therefore, the learners can understand the meaning of every region along with the way it works to keep a plant healthy. Root Cap Region ... Read More
