This document aims to provide an overview of the immune system’s response to different types of pathogens, with a focus on microbes and parasites. Microbes are microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that can cause infections and diseases in humans. unraveling the complex strategies employed by our body's defense mechanisms. Delve into the specifics of how the immune system distinguishes and combats these invaders, from the molecular interactions to the orchestrated cel...

Drug bioscreening is the systematic study of substances to determine their pharmacodynamics, that is, the effects of a drug on animals and humans and on their tissues and organs; and the response to drugs by animals and humans and their tissues and organs. The substances to be tested are exposed to a process that determines those that have potential value as well as those that do not. Drug bioscreening is a scanning procedure in living organisms such as animals designed to distinguish useful fro...
