background biology genetics

Gene_expression information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product: often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as rRNA genes or tRNA genes, the product is a functional RNA

Epigenetics above genetics, Eg: morphogenesis, totipotent stem cells become various pluripotent cell lines of the embryo which in turn become fully differentiated cells

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Rough ER synthesize proteins, while smooth ER synthesize lipids and steroids, metabolize carbohydrates and steroids, and regulate calcium concentration, drug detoxification, and attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins

Mitochondrion supply cellular energy, and involved in signaling, differentiation, cell death, and the control of the cell cycle and cell growth

Mast cell: important protective role and involved in wound healing and defense against pathogens

Degranulationa cellular process that releases antimicrobial cytotoxic molecules from secretory vesicles called granules found inside some cells

Immunoprecipitation technique of precipitating a protein antigen out of solution using an antibody that specifically binds to that particular protein. Can be used to isolate and concentrate a particular protein from a sample containing many thousands of different proteins
