The immune system detects foreign cells and sends pyrogens through the blood stream to the hypothalamus, which is the part of the brain responsible for temperature regulation. When the hypothalamus detects the pyrogens, it is a signal to retain more body heat in order to destroy the foreign cells. Excess body heat creates an inhospitable environment for many disease causing types of cells.

What is spontaneous and induced mutations?

Spontaneous mutations occur naturally due to errors in DNA replication, exposure to mutagens, or changes in cellular processes. Induced mutations are deliberately caused by exposure to external factors such as radiation, chemicals, or certain drugs to study the effects of specific genetic changes.


What is the Best way to illustrate the way an enzyme interacts with another molecule?

A common and effective way to illustrate the interaction of an enzyme with another molecule is through a lock-and-key model or induced fit model. In the lock-and-key model, the enzyme has a specific active site that fits the substrate like a key into a lock. The induced fit model suggests that the enzyme undergoes a conformational change to better accommodate the substrate. Both models help visualize the specificity and mechanism of enzyme-substrate interactions.

Why are induced pluripotent stem cells important in the field of regenerative medicine?

Induced pluripotent stem cells are important in regenerative medicine because they can be reprogrammed to become any type of cell in the body, offering potential for personalized treatments and the ability to replace damaged or diseased tissues.

How do you get into a 2-year coma?

The problem with comas is that, unless medically induced, they are unpredictable in length. Medically-induced comas are caused by careful dosing of barbiturates like phenobarbital. Also, when entering a coma, you risk serious and permanent brain damage, so you must make sure that the benefits of the coma outweigh this risk.
