In 2019, Netflix was already a fixture in our lives. With a global pandemic keeping everyone in their homes for most of the year and a barrage of boorish politicians and natural disasters making ...
Viral transformation is the change in growth, phenotype, or indefinite reproduction of cells caused by the introduction of inheritable material. Through this process, a virus causes harmful transformations of an in vivo cell or cell culture. The term can also be understood as DNA transfection using a viral vector. Viral transformation can occur ...
The hepatitis C virus is the cause of hepatitis C and some cancers such as liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, abbreviated HCC) and lymphomas in humans. [1][2] [3] An oncovirus or oncogenic virus is a virus that can cause cancer. [4] This term originated from studies of acutely transforming retroviruses in the 1950–60s, [5] when the term ...
Cancer is caused by genetic changes leading to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. The basic cause of sporadic (non-familial) cancers is DNA damage and genomic instability. [1][2] A minority of cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations. [3] Most cancers are related to environmental, lifestyle, or behavioral exposures. [4]
HeLa cells are rapidly dividing cancer cells, and the number of chromosomes varies during cancer formation and cell culture. The current estimate (excluding very tiny fragments) is a "hypertriploid chromosome number (3n+)", which means 76 to 80 total chromosomes (rather than the normal diploid number of 46) with 22–25 clonally abnormal ...
Pap stain. Cytopathic effect (abbreviated CPE) refers to structural changes in host cells that are caused by viral invasion. The infecting virus causes lysis of the host cell or when the cell dies without lysis due to an inability to replicate. [1] If a virus causes these morphological changes in the host cell, it is said to be cytopathogenic. [2]
Children. 5. Henrietta Lacks (born Loretta Pleasant; August 1, 1920 – October 4, 1951) [1] was an African-American woman [4] whose cancer cells are the source of the HeLa cell line, the first immortalized human cell line [A] and one of the most important cell lines in medical research. An immortalized cell line reproduces indefinitely under ...
