Transducer Mechanism: G Protein–Coupled Receptors01:30

Transducer Mechanism: G Protein–Coupled Receptors

6.1K
G Protein–Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are membrane-bound receptors that transiently associate with heterotrimeric G proteins and induce an appropriate response to various stimuli. GPCRs regulate critical physiological pathways and are excellent drug targets for treating diseases such as diabetes, cancer, obesity, depression, or Alzheimer's. Nearly 35% of approved drugs implement their therapeutic effects by selectively interacting with specific GPCRs.
GPCRs are also called heptahelical,...

Small GTPases - Ras and Rho01:24

Small GTPases - Ras and Rho

5.6K
Ras and Rho are small monomeric GTPases that act downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and regulate various cellular processes. These GTPases switch between active and inactive states by binding to guanine nucleotides.
Three regulatory proteins control their activity:

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.2K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms02:18

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms

31.4K
Genetic transfer occurs when genetic information is passed from one organism to another. It occurs via two mechanisms: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer occurs when genetic information is transferred from one generation to the next, which happens much more frequently than horizontal gene transfer. Both sexual and asexual reproduction are forms of vertical gene transfer, where one or more organisms pass some or all of their genome onto their progeny.

Impact of Groups on Groups01:19

Impact of Groups on Groups

296
Social psychologists analyze how groups influence one another, shaping social structures and interactions through both cooperation and competition. These dynamics manifest in various ways, ranging from economic partnerships to intergroup conflicts that shape societal structures and perceptions.Cooperation and Competition in Intergroup RelationsIntergroup relationships vary across contexts, sometimes fostering cooperation and mutual benefit while at other times leading to conflict and...

Area of Science:

  • Geroscience, an interdisciplinary field.
  • Focuses on the biology of aging and age-related diseases.

Background:

  • Aging is the major risk factor for chronic diseases.
  • Aging involves biological declines and increased disease burden.
  • Historically, aging was considered immutable.

Discussion:

  • Recent research explores molecular and cellular aging mechanisms.
  • Potential interventions aim to increase lifespan and healthspan.
  • The Geroscience Interest Group (GSIG) was established at NIH in 2012.

Key Insights:

  • The geroscience hypothesis: manipulating aging delays multiple chronic diseases.
  • Shared aging mechanisms underlie diverse age-related conditions.
  • Intervention targeting aging may be more efficient than disease-specific cures.

Outlook:

  • GSIG activities over the past five years are reviewed.
  • Future research directions in geroscience are implied.
  • Potential for significant public health improvements in older populations.
