Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form proteins of every living matter. Amino acids are used by the organism for building blocks of proteins.

When proteins are digested or broken

An antibody is a molecule produced by the organism to detect and neutralise specific pathogens. Antibodies are the defence proteins that our immune system produces when it is exposed to

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid, and is the carrier molecule of hereditary genetic information.

DNA structure

DNA is a very long molecule, made up of a succession of nucleotides

The ELISA test (acronym of Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) is an immunological test intended to detect and/or assay a protein in a biological fluid.

Each of our cells contains our entire genetic heritage: 46 chromosomes inherited from our parents on which there are approximately 25,000 genes.
But if all our cells contain the same information,

For over two years now, COVID-19 infection has changed our lives and keeps doing it day after day. Through time, we have learnt how to preserve our communities as much as possible from its spread.

All human and living beings have mitochondria. These are tiny cellular organisms present in nearly every cell of an individual. They are located more precisely inside the cells, in their nucleus. The main

As similar as the two terms may seem, there is a fundamental difference between genetics and genomics.

Understanding this difference also means understanding their implications in cancer care, from

A team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have recently conducted a study regarding cancer immunotherapy. This field of science is dedicated to stimulating the

A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. They are all made up of a cytoplasm enclosed in a membrane, which contains molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins.

There are two

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entire world. This infection is caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, and it strongly affects the respiratory tract.

To preserve the population, vaccines have

Clinical trials are the bedrock of medical research. They are conducted in distinct phases that we will detail in this article. But before clinical trials can even start, it is necessary to conduct preclinical
