Muscular dystroph affects different muscle groups . Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy are 2 most common forms.
To begin, Mitochondria are tiny structures located within nearly all cells of the body. They are the parts of the cell that are primarily responsible for creating energy. They do this by generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a “fuel” driving all of the body’s functions. Moreover, mitochondria are described as the “powerhouse” of the cell.

Many people have heard of psoriasis but don’t know much more about it than it’s a skin condition. Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease which means the immune system sends a continuous signal to speed up the skin cell growth cycle resulting in a faster turnover of skin cells every few days when it would normally take about one month. This leaves a pile-up of dead skin cells on the surface of the epidermis and throughout the dermis. Psoriasis usually appears as red or pink plaques of raised, thick, scaly skin. However, it can also appear as small flat bumps or large thick plaques.

There are so many things to think about when you have a child. One of them is the blood from your baby’s umbilical cord. Cord blood banking is the process of collecting cord blood and extracting and cryogenically freezing its stem cells and other cells of the immune system for potential future medical use. In Europe and other parts of the world, cord blood banking is more often referred to as stem cell banking.
A sarcoma is a rare kind of cancer. Sarcomas grow in connective tissue -- cells that connect or support other kinds of tissue in your body. These tumours are most common in the bones, muscles, tendons, cartilage, nerves, fat, and blood vessels of your arms and legs, but they can also happen in other areas of your body. Although there are more than 50 types of sarcoma, they can be grouped into two main kinds: soft tissue sarcoma and bone sarcoma, or osteosarcoma. It is made up of many “subtypes” because it can arise from a variety of tissue structures. Because these tissues are found everywhere on the body, Sarcomas can arise anywhere.
