An autoimmune disease diagnosis happens when the patient’s immune system mistakenly attacks their body. Our immune system normally protects us from germs, viruses, and borrelia bacteria. When the immune system senses these foreign invaders, an army of cells attacks the threat. Under normal circumstances, our immune system can distinguish dangerous foreign cells from cells our bodies produce. What Are Autoimmune …

Stem cells are the fundamental building blocks of the human body. Cells can differentiate and reproduce any tissue, such as the heart, muscle, cartilage, bone, or liver. Newborn children have many circulating stem cells needed for development, which can quickly help them recover from infectious diseases and injuries. As we age, the quantities of circulating stem cells in the body …
Exomes are the portions of an organism’s genome containing protein-coding genes. They comprise a small part of the total DNA, usually around 1-2%, but are responsible for most known genetic functions. Exomes contain sequences called exons, which are the coding regions within genes. These exons are transcribed into RNA and then translated into proteins, which perform various functions within the …
