Indicators
One of nine essential amino acids in humans required for growth and tissue repair, Lysine is supplied by many foods, especially red meats, fish, and dairy products. Lysine seems to be active against herpes simplex viruses and present in many forms of diet supplements. The mechanism underlying this effect is based on the viral need for amino acid arginine; lysine competes with arginine for absorption and entry into cells. Lysine inhibits HSV growth by knocking out arginine. (NCI04)
Indicators
This gene plays a role in signal transduction and regulation of transcription. It is also involved in cell differentiation, growth and proliferation.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in mediating cellular responses to growth factors, metabolic stimuli and mitogens.
Indicators
This gene plays a regulatory role in the modulation of cell-surface receptors and hepatocyte growth factor interactions.
Indicators
One of nine essential amino acids in humans (provided by food), Methionine is required for growth and tissue repair. A sulphur-containing amino acid, methionine improves the tone and pliability of skin, hair, and strengthens nails. Involved in many detoxifying processes, sulphur provided by methionine protects cells from pollutants, slows cell aging, and is essential for absorption and bio-availability of selenium and zinc. Methionine chelates heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, aiding their excretion. It also acts as a lipotropic agent and prevents excess fat buildup in the liver. (NCI04)
Tests
A method to determine whether microbial growth is affected by an antimicrobial compound.
For professionals
Indicators
This gene plays a role in apoptosis, cell growth, differentiation and proliferation.
Tests
The determination of the amount of nerve growth factor in a biological sample.
For professionals
Indicators
This gene plays a role in cell adhesion and cytoskeletal remodeling. It is also involved in suppression of cell growth.
Indicators
A water-soluble vitamin ubiquitously found in plants and animal tissues with antioxidant property. Vitamin B5 is a component of coenzyme A (CoA) and a part of the vitamin B2 complex. Vitamin B5 is a growth factor and is essential for various metabolic functions, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fatty acids. This vitamin is also involved in the synthesis of cholesterol, lipids, neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, and hemoglobin.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in mitogenic activities affecting mesenchymal cells and is involved in receptor tyrosine kinase signal transduction.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in mitogenic activities affecting mesenchymal cells and a translocation in the gene results in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
