Beer May Prevent Prostate Cancer

Posted by Healthy And Fit on December 9th, 2009

I love it:

The natural compound xanthohumol blocks the effects of the male hormone testosterone, therefore aiding in the prevention of prostate cancer.

“We hope that one day we can demonstrate that xanthohumol prevents prostate cancer development, first in animal models and then in humans, but we are just at the beginning,” said Clarissa Gerhauser, Ph.D., group leader of cancer chemoprevention in the Division of Epigenomics and Cancer Risk Factors at the German Cancer Research Center, in Heidelberg, Germany.

Gerhauser presented these findings at the American Association for Cancer Research Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference, held in Houston, Dec.

Anti-nuclear antibody

Posted by Healthy And Fit on June 7th, 2009

Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs, also known as anti-nuclear factor or ANF) are antibodies directed against contents of the cell nucleus.

They are present in higher than normal numbers in autoimmune disease.

Nuclear transport

Posted by Healthy And Fit on May 27th, 2009

Macromolecules, such as RNA and proteins, are actively transported across the nuclear membrane in a process called the Ran-GTP nuclear transport cycle.

The entry and exit of large molecules from the cell nucleus is tightly controlled by the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs).

Post-transcriptional modification

Posted by Healthy And Fit on May 27th, 2009

Post-transcriptional modification is a process in cell biology by which, in eukaryotic cells, primary transcript RNA is converted into mature RNA. A notable example is the conversion of precursor messenger RNA into mature messenger RNA (mRNA), which includes splicing and occurs prior to protein synthesis.
