What is the Endocrine System?

420.0K
The endocrine system sends hormones—chemical signals—through the bloodstream to target cells—the cells the hormones selectively affect. These signals are produced in endocrine cells, secreted into the extracellular fluid, and then diffuse into the blood. Eventually, they diffuse out of the blood and bind to target cells which have specialized receptors to recognize the hormones.

An Overview of Genetics and Disease

55.5K
Many human diseases are associated with mutations or variations in genetic sequences. Some of these genetic variants are heritable, passed down from generation to generation, while others arise sporadically during an organism’s life and cause diseases such as cancer. Researchers are trying to identify and characterize these genetic alterations in the hopes of improving diagnosis and therapeutic options for patients.In this video, we will examine the history of genetic disease research,...

Endocrine Signaling01:45

Endocrine Signaling

67.9K
Endocrine cells produce hormones to communicate with remote target cells found in other organs. The hormone reaches these distant areas using the circulatory system. This exposes the whole organism to the hormone but only those cells expressing hormone receptors or target cells are affected. Thus, endocrine signaling induces slow responses from its target cells but these effects also last longer.

The Endocrine System01:29

The Endocrine System

1.3K
The endocrine system is an extensive network of glands – organs or tissues in the body that create chemicals that control many bodily functions, that secrete hormones, which are chemical messengers that play essential roles in regulating various bodily functions. These hormones are secreted into the bloodstream and travel throughout the body. They require specific receptors to convey signals to cells possessing these corresponding receptors. This complex signaling mechanism ensures that...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Genetic factors influence endocrine autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify novel risk loci, revealing shared and opposing genetic effects across diseases, impacting immune tolerance.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology and Immunology
  • Genetics of Autoimmune Diseases

Background:

  • The endocrine system is susceptible to autoimmune attacks, exemplified by type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroid disease.
  • Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome involves the clustering of multiple autoimmune diseases in one individual.
  • Understanding genetic factors is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms behind endocrine autoimmunity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the progress in understanding genetic factors contributing to endocrine autoimmune diseases.
  • To highlight the role of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and non-MHC loci in immune tolerance.
  • To discuss the impact of recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on identifying novel risk loci and pathways.

Main Methods:

  • Review of studies on monogenic autoimmune diseases to identify key immune regulators.
  • Analysis of established contributions of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles to autoimmunity.
  • Examination of findings from sequencing studies and genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Main Results:

  • Genetic studies have uncovered key regulators of immune tolerance and identified multiple susceptibility loci.
  • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have accelerated the discovery of novel non-HLA loci and immune pathways.
  • Identified loci can be shared across autoimmune diseases, with some alleles exhibiting protective effects in certain conditions while predisposing to others.

Conclusions:

  • Genetic research, particularly GWAS, has significantly advanced the understanding of endocrine autoimmune diseases.
  • Both innate and adaptive immune systems are implicated, and novel rare variants are expected with next-generation sequencing.
  • Further GWAS are essential for diseases like autoimmune thyroid disease to identify genetic risk factors.
