What happens to the CFTR gene in cystic fibrosis and how does it contribute to the development of the disease?
In cystic fibrosis, mutations in the CFTR gene cause it to produce a faulty protein. This protein is unable to regulate the flow of salt and fluids in and out of cells, leading to the buildup of thick, sticky mucus in various organs. This mucus clogs the airways, digestive system, and other organs, causing breathing difficulties, digestive problems, and other symptoms characteristic of the disease.

What is Septal Fibrosis Is it dangerous Is it curable?
It means that the liver structure is scarred and has fiber like substances in it. It is the final stage before cirrhosis of the liver happens and can be dangerous if cirrhosis happens. The only treatment is to avoid alcohol and medications because they damage the liver.
What is Oscar slaughter's disease?
It's actually called "OSGOOD SLAUGHTER DISEASE" . It happens to young people usually during growth spurts. Essentially it is a pulling away or tearing away of the Tibular Tuberosity, the attachment site for the quadriceps, and it usually happens because the individuals growth rate is so fast that the bone length development doesn't keep up, therefore you get excessive tension on the attachment site (the patella tendon) and it starts to pull away.
When control of the cell cycle is lost what results?
Loss of control of the cell cycle can lead to uncontrolled cell division, which may result in the development of cancer. This can lead to the formation of tumors, as the cells continue to divide and grow uncontrollably. Moreover, it can also lead to the inhibition of programmed cell death (apoptosis), allowing damaged cells to survive and potentially contribute to disease progression.
Is it true that Alzheimer's is a bone disease in which the bones becomes less dense?
No, Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the brain, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline. Bone density is not a characteristic symptom of Alzheimer's disease.
What is a condition of decreased bone density?
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by decreased bone density and increased risk of fractures. It happens when bones lose their density and become porous and brittle, making them more prone to breaking. Factors such as aging, hormonal changes, and nutritional deficiencies can contribute to the development of osteoporosis.
What happens if proteins accumulate in the interstitial space?
Accumulation of proteins in the interstitial space can lead to inflammation, tissue damage, and impaired cellular function. It may also disrupt the normal fluid balance in the tissues, leading to edema. In severe cases, this can contribute to the development of diseases such as fibrosis or amyloidosis.
Where cystic fibrosis happens?
In the DNA: a mutation on chromosome 7
How does cystic fibrosis affect homeostasis?
Cystic fibrosis happens due to mutations in a gene called CFTR and an abnormal behavior impairs homeostasis inside the cell. Cyst
