Antibodies are attracted to antigens to prevent disease or infection, and each antibody can only bind to one antigen at a time. The discovery of the immunological synapse was […]

This process occurs in humans, animals, and some plants and results in new chromosomal arrangements with both dominant and recessive genes. Synapse also refers to the communication between neurons in the brain, but […]
