Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum01:21

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

8.8K
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum or smooth ER is a sub-organelle with specialized functions in animal cells and plant cells. It is often associated with the tubule morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum.
The ER provides optimal conditions for synthesizing steroid hormones and lipids, such as phospholipids and triglycerides. Traditionally, lipid metabolism was considered to be a smooth ER function. However, there is no direct evidence to prove that rough ER is completely excluded from lipid...

Metastasis02:30

Metastasis

6.8K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

What is the Endocrine System?

425.8K
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.

Endocrine Signaling

69.3K
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.

Structures of the Endocrine System00:59

Structures of the Endocrine System

16.3K
The intricate framework of the endocrine system encompasses a diverse array of glands, with their target tissues and organs strategically distributed throughout the body. Central to this network are the endocrine glands, specialized structures that lack ducts and release hormones directly into the interstitial fluid. Notably, the hypothalamus, a vital neuroendocrine organ situated in the brain, governs neural functions and serves as a potent source of hormonal regulation. Near the hypothalamus...

Summary

Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes are hereditary conditions causing various endocrine carcinomas. Early recognition by primary care providers is crucial for timely diagnosis and improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Genetics
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) encompasses hereditary carcinoma syndromes.
  • Autosomal dominant gene aberrations lead to endocrine carcinomas and anatomical abnormalities.
  • Delayed diagnosis in familial endocrine carcinoma patients significantly impacts morbidity and mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the various types of MEN syndromes.
  • To highlight the critical role of infusion nurses in managing patients with MEN.
  • To educate primary care providers on recognizing and managing familial endocrine carcinoma.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of MEN syndromes.
  • Discussion of clinical manifestations and genetic basis.
