Scientists are not focused on these cells as a potential means of slowing or arresting the basic biological processes of aging but rather because of their tremendous potential for extending years of healthy and vigorous life by treating a wide variety of diseases and regenerating damaged parts of the body.
YY1 is a ubiquitously expressed multifunctional transcription factor that has been shown to be involved in the regulation of a large number of genes that are critical for basic biological processes of cell growth, development, differentiation, cell cycle and even programmed cell death (apoptosis) (reviewed in [1], [2]).
Our improved understanding of basic biological processes of infective drives of innate immunity bridging the engagement of adaptive immunity have formed techniques to tailor and develop assays, and deliver targeted treatment options.
Applications include studies of basic biological processes and of tissue pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic responses to treatment (Paulmurugan et al, 2002; Galbraith et al, 2003; Pillai et al, 2008; Tennant et al, 2009; Nguyen et al, 2009b).
The main genes that were activated following the exposure of pear leaves to salt were predominately involved in basic biological processes, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, signal transduction mechanisms, and other cellular components and molecular functions (based on their matches in the COG, GO and KEGG databases).
Thus, iPSCs could replace ESCs and represent an invaluable tool for regenerative medicine, as well as for the study of basic biological processes, improved understanding of diseases, and finally, as a tool for facilitating drug testing [38].
miRNAs are involved in a variety of basic biological processes, and a lot of miRNAs have been found can affect the development of cancer as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes depending on their targets [ 7– 9].
Bringing nuclear transfer to routine practice requires greater knowledge and understanding of the basic biological processes underlying epigenetic controls of nuclear activities.
The analysis of multigene expression profiling is helpful to elucidate a series of medical and biological research questions including the dissection of basic biological processes [9], [10], the exploration of new drug targets [11], [12], [13], and the diagnosis of disease [14], [15], [16], [17].
However, the lack of iron as a cofactor in many of the basic biological processes results in a multitude of biological pathway failures, resulting in chlorotic plants.
Cell cultures of parasitic helminths are an invaluable tool for investigations of basic biological processes, as well as for development of improved chemotherapeutic agents and molecular interactions between host and parasite.
