Cells defend themselves from viruses, bacteria with armor of protein errors
B. rabbits changing fur color
Answer:
a) Maxillopoda is a diverse class of crustaceans including barnacles, copepods and a number of related animals. It does not appear to be a monophyletic group, and no single character unites all the members
b) General Characters of Hexapoda (Insects)
Ø A large taxa, includes insects and a small group of wingless arthropods.
Ø Body plan: 3 parts, head, thorax and abdomen.
Ø Head with six segments.
Ø Thorax with three pairs of jointed legs (hence the name hexapoda)
Ø Head bears a presegmental acron.
Ø Acron bears compound eyes.
Answer:
Thermosensitive liposomes (TSL) are promising tools used to deliver drugs to targeted region when local hyperthermia is applied (∼40–42°C) which triggers the membrane phase transformation from a solid gel-like state to a highly permeable liquid state. Selective lipid components have been used to in TSL formulations to increase plasma stability before hyperthermia and speed drug release rate after. Two generations of TSL technology have been developed. The traditional thermal sensitive liposomes (TTSL) have utilized DPPC and DSPC as a combination. The second generation, lysolipid thermally sensitive liposomes (LTSL) technology, has been developed with incorporation of lysolipids that form stabilized defects at phase transition temperature. LTSL maintains certain favorable attributes:
High percentage of lysolipids incorporation;
Minimum leakage for therapeutical drugs encapsulation;
Ultrafast drug release upon heating (3.5 times enhanced compared to TTSL). For example, ThermoDox, a commonly used LTSL drug for cancer, has been reported to release 100% of the encapsulated doxorubicin within 30s;
First and most successful formulation for intravascular drug release.
