mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.

Overview of Cell Death

Overview of Cell Death

Cell death is an essential process where the body gets rid of old or damaged cells. Cell proliferation and death need to be balanced, as an imbalance between the two may lead to cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the 20th century...

Autophagic Cell Death

Autophagic Cell Death

Christian de Duve discovered “autophagy,” a process in which cellular components are engulfed by membrane-bound organelles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to digest the enclosed contents. Autophagy is generally activated in cells to prevent cell death. However, cell death is triggered when the damage is beyond repair.
Autophagy and Apoptosis
Autophagy can activate apoptosis. In normal conditions, the autophagy activating protein Beclin-1 and pro-apoptotic...

Background:

Suicide remains a significant global public health concern.
Understanding demographic patterns and methods is crucial for prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the demographic characteristics of suicide cases.
To identify common methods and timing of suicide.
To discuss contributing factors in suicide.

Main Methods:

Retrospective investigation of 87 suicide cases.
Data collection on demographics, methods, and timing.
Qualitative discussion of notable causes.

Main Results:

Females constituted 56.2% of the cases, with 7% being married and under 30.
Hanging was the predominant method of suicide for both sexes.
A considerable proportion of suicides occurred between 6:00 PM and midnight.

Conclusions:

Suicide demographics show a higher prevalence in females in this cohort.
Hanging is a critical method to consider in suicide prevention efforts.
The evening hours represent a peak time for suicide, warranting targeted interventions.
