Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:22

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.7K
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

5.5K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Translation

Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Factors Affecting Erythropoiesis01:24

Factors Affecting Erythropoiesis

6.3K
The cardiovascular system regulates the number of erythrocytes in the bloodstream to ensure optimal oxygen transport. It also prevents over-proliferation of these cells, which helps to maintain blood viscosity and flow rate.
Several factors influence the erythrocyte production rate, with tissue oxygen level being among the most critical. Intense exercise or high altitudes can cause tissue hypoxia, which triggers the kidneys to release more erythropoietin (EPO) into the bloodstream.
EPO then...

General Transcription Factors01:30

General Transcription Factors

7.2K
Tissue-specific transcription factors contribute to diverse cellular functions in mammals. For example, the gene for beta globin, a major component of hemoglobin, is present in all cells of the body. However, it is only expressed in red blood cells because the transcription factors that can bind to the promoter sequences of the beta globin gene are only expressed in these cells. Tissue-specific transcription factors also ensure that mutations in these factors may impair only the function of...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • The eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is a large, multi-subunit complex essential for protein translation initiation in mammalian cells.
  • eIF3 plays critical roles in translation initiation, termination, and ribosomal recycling.
  • Deregulation of eIF3 expression is implicated in various pathological conditions, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review the interactome and functions of individual human eIF3 subunits.
  • To elucidate the correlation between altered eIF3 subunit levels and the onset and progression of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
  • To explore the potential role of eIF3 misregulation in triggering infection cascades.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on eIF3 subunit interactions and functions.
  • Analysis of studies correlating eIF3 expression levels with disease states.
  • Evaluation of molecular mechanisms underlying eIF3's role in human pathologies.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of the interactome and functional roles of human eIF3 subunits (eIF3a-eIF3m).
  • Evidence linking aberrant eIF3 subunit expression to cancer development and progression.
  • Association of eIF3 dysregulation with neurodegenerative disorders and potential involvement in infection pathways.

Conclusions:

  • A thorough understanding of eIF3's molecular mechanisms in disease is crucial.
  • Targeting eIF3 subunits presents a promising avenue for developing novel therapeutic strategies.
  • Further research into eIF3's role in pathology could lead to effective treatments for complex human conditions.
