Messengers and division of cells

  I have learned that cells may send messages to unruly cells that do not divide correctly. I found this article at http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2012/03. I found this interesting how we have learned about chemical messengers and division of cells and now I have found something to relate both. This article states that when unruly cells don't divide correctly, messengers tell the body to rid itself of the body.

Origin of cellular respiration.

The online definition of cellular penis respiration is : "Any of various energy-yielding oxidative reactions in living matter that typically involve transfer of oxygen and production of carbon dioxide and water as end products", and this definition was from "http://www.merriam-webster.com/medical/cellular%20respiration". The basis of this article is that how researchers in Japan had found a bacterial enzyme that may show the origins of oxygen- base wild life. I found this to be very interesting, seeing as most animals and plants, in general, go through this process.

DNA

  Chemist have found a possible "opening" for cures of such as HIV. The chemists have created a molecule that "entangles" in DNA, and holds for about sixteen days. This idea potentially can open the door for curing genetic diseases, cancer, and even possibly HIV. I found this article at - http://www.biologynews.net/archives.

Candmium Spill May Ruin Drinking Water For Many:


- Candmium: A mettalic white material, resembling tin, used in plating.
   I found the definition on http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cadmium, and i can see how this can ruin drinking water. This shows how water can be a solvent. The officials of the area did not notice the contamination until fish began to die. This article was found http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=china-cadmium-spill-threatens-drink. I found this interesting because it shows how water can dilute unlike element.
