This illustration explains how a normal cell becomes a cancer cell. An oncogene in a normal cell appears to regulate and influence cell growth and division. When a cancer causing agent affects a cell's DNA and the oncogene is activated, a cancer cell develops.

This illustration of a composite photomicrograph reveals the ultrastructural details observed at two stages in the life cycle of the parasite, Entamoeba histolytica, stained with iodine is its cyst stage (lt), , and its Giemsa stain, trophozoite stage (cntr and rt). The cyst contained a chromatoid body and the four characteristic nuclei, each containing a single centrally located karyosome. Each E. histolytica trophozoite contained a single nucleus, within which was a single centrally located karyosome and peripherally located chromatin. Note the red blood cells ingested inside each of the trophozoites. CDC 1954

Representation of the different stages of mitosis: prophase where the chromatin of the nucleus of the mother cell is organized into 46 pairs of chromosomes, the nuclear envelope is broken, the centrioles move towards opposite poles, and the mitotic spindle is formed. Metaphase is the stage when the chromosomes line up at the center of the mitotic spindle. Anaphase is the phase when the elements of the cell begin to organize and separate identically to give rise to two daughter cells. Telophase is the stage when the two cells begin to separate and the nucleus to reform. At interphase, the chromatin of the nucleus of the two identical daughter cells has uncoiled.

Immune cells, actors of innate and adaptive immunity. When a micro-organism or microbe (virus, bacteria) penetrates the body's barriers (skin, mucous membranes), this invasion of foreign bodies triggers the immune system's defenses. At first, innate immunity (on the left of the drawing) acts immediately. This first immune reaction stops the progression and development of microbes in the body. Macrophages, dendritic cells and neutrophils are players in innate immunity. Macrophages (in bluish green) destroy microbes by phagocytosis and produce cytokines. These cytokines call on neutrophils (among other things) to also fight against microbes. But these cytokines also drive macrophages and dendritic cells to the lymph nodes (white arrows). If despite everything, the microbes proliferate and spread in the body, adaptive immunity comes into play (on the right of the drawing). Dendritic cells and macrophages present microbe antigens to B (blue) and T (purple) lymphocytes. There are 4 kinds of

In the liver (top right) Inactive vitamin K (yellow beads) become active (yellow stars) thanks to epoxide-reductase. Active vitamin K will activate coagulation factors which will, in turn, trigger the coagulation cascade in the blood vessel. In yellow on the left wall of the vessel, an atheroma plaque will release tissue factor (VII). Below, to the left of the clot, a platelet (white) in the aggregation phase.

Coronavirus replication, CoVid-19, SARS-Cov2. This scientific illustration explains how the 2019 coronavirus replicates thanks to a host cell. FUSION: When the virus reaches the respiratory system by inhalation, it fuses with a host cell thanks to its protein S (spicule), viral surface protein and a membrane receptor of the host cell. TRANSLATION: Viral RNA (positive strand) binds to ribosomes. It is transcribed to form an RNA replicase which will make RNA (negative strand) from RNA (positive strand). TRANSLATION: Viral RNA (positive strand) binds to ribosomes. It is transcribed to form an RNA replicase which will make RNA (negative strand) from RNA (positive strand). TRANSCRIPTION.ET RÉPLICATION: This negative strand is used to make RNA under genomics It allows to replicate viral RNA (positive strand). TRANSLATION:. Thanks to the ribosomes of the host cell, the viral RNA (positive strand) produces the viral proteins (N, M, E and S) which fuse with the endoplasmic membrane. The latter

Hematopoiesis occurs in three successive cell compartments. Stem cells are pluripotent cells guaranteeing permanent production of blood cells. Precursor cells (or determined cells) are only capable of a limited number of divisions. Maturing cells constitute a transition between the preceding compartments and the bloodstream, cells in the bloodstream have identifiable morphologies.

Illustration of the shingles infection. Shingles is a viral infection resulting from the reactivation of the chicken pox-shingles virus, the virus that is responsible for chicken pox. The first infection leads to chicken pox, then the virus hides in the sensory nerve ganglions where it can remain latent for decades. Its secondary reactivation leads to shingles.

Illustration of Alzheimers disease. Illustration of a healthy neuron (left), showing a microtubule and tau proteins (green). Tau is part of the protein family linked to microtubules (MAP proteins). One of tau proteins main functions is to interact with tubulin in order to regulate the stability of axon microtubules. On the right, neuronal degeneration is linked to the build up of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins (yellow) between cells, causing tau protein filaments.

Illustration of the formation of metastases : The primary tumor is in the breast. The primary cancer tumor develops : Step 1, the tumor is still small in size Step 2, the tumor has grown, the cancer cells have multiplied and transformed. Step 3, the tumor has grown even more. The cells with irregular nucleus are mature cancer cells (metastases) which will spread to other parts of the body through the blood vessel network. In the case of breast cancer, the metastases can remain dormant for several years in the brain, liver and bones, or can proliferate immediately and form a secondary cancer tumor.
