Deoxyribonucleic acid (i/diˈɒksiˌraɪboʊnjʊˌkliːɪk, -ˌkleɪɪk/;DNA) is a molecule that carries most of the genetic instructions used in the development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA is a nucleic acid; alongside proteins and carbohydrates, nucleic acids compose the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Most DNA molecules consist of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix. The two DNA strands are known as polynucleotides since they are composed of simpler units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a nitrogen-containing nucleobase—either cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), or thymine (T)—as well as a monosaccharide sugar called deoxyribose and a phosphate group. The nucleotides are joined to one another in a chain by covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next, resulting in an alternating sugar-phosphate backbone. According to base pairing rules (A with T, and C with G), hydrogen bonds bind the nitrogenous bases of the two separate polynucleotide strands to make double-stranded DNA. The total amount of related DNA base pairs on Earth is estimated at 5.0 x 1037, and weighs 50 billion tonnes. In comparison, the total mass of the biosphere has been estimated to be as much as 4 TtC (trillion tons of carbon).
In cytology, a precursor cell, also called a blast cell or simply blast, is a type of partially differentiated, usually unipotent cell that has lost most or all of the stem cell multipotency.
Usually a precursor cell is a stem cell which has the capacity to differentiate into only one cell types. Sometimes precursor cell is used as an alternative term for unipotent stem cells.
A blastoma is a type of cancer created by malignancies of precursor cells.
In embryology, precursor cells are a group of cells that differentiate later into one organ.

Folic acid or folate is a B vitamin. It is also referred to as vitamin M,vitamin B9,vitamin Bc (or folacin), pteroyl-L-glutamic acid, and pteroyl-L-glutamate.
Food supplement manufacturers often use the term folate for something different from "pure" folic acid: in chemistry, folate refers to the deprotonated ion, and folic acid to the neutral molecule—which both coexist in water. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology state that folate and folic acid are the preferred synonyms for pteroylglutamate and pteroylglutamic acid, respectively.
Folate indicates a collection of "folates" that is not chemically well-characterized, including other members of the family of pteroylglutamates, or mixtures of them, having various levels of reduction of the pteridine ring, one-carbon substitutions and different numbers of glutamate residues.
Folic acid is synthetically produced, and used in fortified foods and supplements on the theory that it is converted into folate. However, folic acid is a synthetic oxidized form, not significantly found in fresh natural foods. To be used it must be converted to tetrahydrofolate (tetrahydrofolic acid) by dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). Increasing evidence suggests that this process may be slow in humans.

I will review our relatively recent awareness of mtDNA and our even more recent discovery of its important role in human pathology. The first two pathogenic mutations in mtDNA were reported in 1988: 24 years later, over 200 point mutations and innumerable deletions have been associated with an extraor...
http://www.stomponstep1.com/folate-b12-deficiency-megaloblastic-anemia-hypersegmented/ Vitamin B9 (Folate/Folic Acid) is very important for 1 carbon chemical reactions (AKA methylation) during the creation of DNA. These functions are particularly important in tissues that undergo frequent cellular division (like hematopoietic cells) and during periods of rapid cellular division (such as infancy and pregnancy). Folate is found naturally in leafy vegetables and Folium is the Latin word for leaf. Today many grains are also fortified with Folate. With so many items having Folate added a deficiency from decreased intake of Folate is not very common. Usually a deficiency is caused by an increased demand for folate through pregnancy or hemolytic anemias such as Sickle Cell Disease. Folate defici...
Most often, the leukemia cells in this phase act like of acute myeloid (aml), but they 4 nov 2014 leukaemia is often described as or chronic. Jan 2007 the natural history of chronic myeloid leukemia (cml) progresses from a relatively blast crisis is fundamentally different than phase in many aspects. This is when the leukaemia transforms into an acute (usually myeloid leukaemia) cml divided three different phases chronic, accelerated, or blastic. When it comes to the symptoms, aml or acute myeloid leukemia first being chronic phase that stage when cancer is readily most patients quickly notice symptoms associated with disease. In the accelerated phase, you have more obvious symptoms. Go through a series of maturing stages ('precursor' or blast cells) before forming into (in contrast, in ac...
NEW DELHI: India on Thursday test-fired for the first time its nuclear capable most-ambitious strategic missile, the over 5,000-km range Agni-V, in a bid to join the super exclusive ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) club that counts just US, Russia,China, France and UK as its members. The solid-fuelled Agni-V, which will bring the whole of China as well as other regions under its strike envelope, was tested from Wheeler Island off the Odisha coast at 8.07 am. ''We have met all our mission objectives,'' said a jubilant DRD0 chief controller of missiles, Avinash Chander. DRD0 chief V K Saraswat, in turn, said India had emerged as a major missile power with Thursday's test. The nuclear-capable, three-stage Agni-V, about 50-tonne in weight and 17.5-metre tall, will become fully ope...

This endeavor is now commonly known as precision medicine and is the direct fruit of the Human Genome Project. The Staudt laboratory has designed the "Lymphochip," a custom DNA microarray that profiles gene expression in normal lymphocytes as well as in malignant lymphomas and leukemias. His laboratory defined two dominant molecular subtypes of the most common form of non-Hodgkin ly...

Leukemia (American English) or leukaemia (British English) is a type of cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by an abnormal increase of immature white blood cells called "blasts". Leukemia is a broad term covering a spectrum of diseases. In turn, it is part of the even broader group of diseases affecting the blood, bone marrow, and lymphoid system, which are all known as hematological neoplasms. Leukemia is a treatable disease. Most treatments involve chemotherapy, medical radiation therapy, hormone treatments, or bone marrow transplan...

Armed gunmen stormed into Bacha Khan University in Charsadda, early morning where two blasts were heard amid heavy firing, Express News reported. “Armed men stormed into the university premises early this morning,” Sardheri police officials told The Express Tribune, adding that two explosions were heard inside the building. Officials added that two guards were injured at the gate. Meanwhile, extensive firing continues in the area and heavy contingents of elite force have been deployed. पाकिस्तान में पेशावर के नज़दीक बच्चा खान यूनिवर्सिटी पर आतंकी हमला हुआ है | दो बम धमको के बाद गोलियां चलने की आवाज़ सुनाई दे रही है | अब तक किसी के हताहत होने की खबर नहीं है |
Lyrics written by Bubba.
No one knows, no one sees
The rhymes and what they mean
Sour lies, and shrouded town
As shallow as this soggy ground
Smog covered truth, light rail trains
Cellophane people and what they say
Eyes that lie, lips that sting
There's gotta be someway out for me
(chorus-)
There's gotta be someway someway
There's gotta be someway out for me
They can't see me
Only what they want from me
The truth is here
But it's not what they want to see
(chorus)
Maybe one day we could find a way
To wash this dirty old town away
And all it's plastic people
Could roll down the river into the bay
Then I'll run
And sing I'm free
We're victims here
If we stay the dream will end
Dead ends
And dead friends
There's gotta be someway out for me
