What is snake venom and how its use as medicine

SNAKE VENOM USE AS A MEDICINE ,
Snake venom is highly  modified  parotid salivary gland secretion that secrets zootoxines.
Venoms contain more than 20 different  compounds, mostly proteins, polypeptide, enzymes, and various other substances with toxins and other lethal  proterties serve  to immobilize and digestion of prey animal and defence against threats.

SIX  MAZER MEDICAL  USES  FOR THE SNAKE  VENOM:

1) TREATING CANCER -  
venom  from  rattlesnake contain a chemical  called crotoxin, it only work on particular kinds of cell (blood and muscles). Research Harnessed  the unique  combination  of targeting  and toxicity  in crotoxin to creat  a cancer treatment, called CB24.


2) REDUCE  BLOOD PRESSURE- 
The venom  of the Brazilian  pitviper contain a protein that disrupt  the angiotensin - converting  enzyme (ACE), which rises blood pressure in humans and mammals. Researches  converted venom  into non- toxin ACE blocker, used to treat high blood pressure.


3) KILL PARASITES - 
The venom  of  the prairie rattlesnake contain  a chemical called crovirin, which is use to kill leismania protozoas as well as others in its family  that causes other infections such as chagas diseases and sleeping  sicknesse.


4) CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS-
The venom of the black mamba snake are highly  neurotoxins, these chemicals bind so tightly to nerve cells, researcher at Puerto Rico's universida are investigating  how these chemicals work in order to use them in future, treatment for diseases  that breakdown  the brain & nervous system, such as Alzhimer's and Parkinson's.


5) TREAT MUSCLE  DISEASE - 
The venom from the Taiwan banded krait 
Using to treat muscular disease, such as myasthenia By changing  the electrtcal charges in the cells.


6)MAKE ANTIVENOM - 
Specialists ,, milk'' a snake by extracting  its venom and collecting  in it a bowl then freeze dry it. Then an animal of choice is injected a small amount  of venom; afer a few weeks, researchers  draw its blood and extract  the antibodies it developed to fight the poison.

Modern medical therapy over mesenchymal stem cells in 2018

why modern medical therapy  work on mesenchymal  stem cells (MSCs) Mesenchymal  stem cell are self- renewing, multipotent, progenitor  cell with multilineage potential to differentiate into cell type of mesodermal  origin. SUCH AS - adipocytes, osteocytes and condrocytes,  while MSCs  are most commonly  isolated from bone marrow  by aspiration process, they are also from other tissue including adipose tissue, placenta, amniotic fluid & umbilical card blood. Main resion - due to their accessibility & convenient  protocols, MSCs have been recognised  as promising  for  cellular therapy, regenerative medicines, and tissue  engineering . IN CELLULAR  THERAPY- This processes take 2-3 weeks. This kind of mature  , fully differentiate  cell  phenotype and the noumber  of the cells though this can be influenced in 3 ways. Firstly by varying in initial seed density  in the cu...

What are the gene therapies uses to treat cancer

                                              What  genes are Genes are coded massages that tell cells how to make proteins, proteins are the molecules that control the way cells behave. Our genes decide what we look like and how our body works. Genes are made of DNA and grouped togather to make chromosomes, they are in the nucleus of the cell. The nucleus  is the cell's control  centre. How the cell become cancerous   Cancerous cells are different  from the normal cells, they have faults or mutation in several of there genes which make them divide too often and form a tumor. The genes that are damaged might be: • Genes that encourage the cell to multiple   ( know as oncogenes) • Genes that stop the cell multiplying               ( tumour suppressor  gene) • Genes that r...

What causes and how its manage belly fat

WHAT CAUSES OF BELLY FAT ?? There are a number  of factors  that can contribute to a person  becoming overweight & developing any of associated conditions like obesity while you have a great excercise , eat best ,and most healthy food but less focus what the route cause of obesity. First we ' ll take a look at a couple of cause of belly fat. CHRONIC STRESS -  when you are suffered with  chronic  stress ,your adrenal glands releases  harmone like adrenaline & cortisol  flood in blood circulation which  increases  heart rate, blood pressure,  & even belly fat storage,( this is because of deep abdominal fat contain 4 times the cortisol receptors than fat under the skin. Cortisol also signals for glucose to be released into blood streams when glucose isn't used up in blood it's get stored as a fat  Finally when cortisol couple with suger , your insulin level increases , increase  inflammation,...
