Today we will look at viruses that have RNA in their structure, namely retroviruses. As we delve into the topic of immunology, we come across such creations as viruses. Viruses themselves are small microbes that infect human cells. Once infected, they use these cells as a replication site. In addition, viruses have many points of... Continue reading
Some of the most common conditions among patients are cardiovascular diseases. One of them is the hypertension we are discussing.

We can call a hospital infection such an infection that develops during your stay or after you leave the... Continue reading
When pregnant patients interested in the topic of medical issues search through information, they come across a term such as 'stem cells'. Although the name seems rather intimidating and complicated, it is not. What do we need this cells for in medicine, and how can we obtain them? What are stem cells? This cells are,...

With the development of medicine, we began to look more and more closely at the factors causing all kinds of diseases. Using the microscope, we were able to see colonies of colorful objects in many different shapes. After much research, scientists named them bacteria, which we will learn more about in today's article. How are... Continue reading
In today's article, we will dive again into the biochemical processes that occur during a process called cellular respiration or Glycolysis. Although we know that this topic will be of greater interest to high school graduates or students of biological and medical faculties, we also encourage others interested in the topic of our body. There... Continue reading
Today we will try to introduce you to one of them – replication. When thinking about genetics, most of us think of the DNA helix. Two lines spinning around each other creating a screw-like shape. However, although genetics is actually based on genetic material in the form of DNA, many different processes are involved. What... Continue reading
One of the most important skills for a cell is the ability to divide. We know two cell divisions - meiosis and mitosis. Today we will delve into the second one – mitosis. What is mitosis? Mitosis is the process by which one cell divides into two identical daughter cells. During this process, chromosomes are... Continue reading
