Balancing Redox Equations02:58

Balancing Redox Equations

62.5K
Electrochemistry is the science involved in the interconversion of electrical and chemical reactions. Such reactions are called reduction-oxidation, or redox reactions. These important reactions are defined by changes in oxidation states for one or more reactant elements and include a subset of reactions involving the transfer of electrons between reactant species. Electrochemistry as a field has evolved to yield sufficient insights on the fundamental principles of redox chemistry and multiple...

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER01:29

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

5.3K
ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...

Equilibrium and Balance

6.7K
The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

Energy Balance01:19

Energy Balance

1.3K
The human body gets energy from the three macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Energy is released when the chemical bonds in the organic compounds present in the food are broken down. The energy content of food is measured in kilocalories (kcal), defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. This value is determined by measuring the temperature change of the water surrounding a calorimeter after the complete...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

1.9K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Respiratory Regulation of Acid-Base Balance01:18

Respiratory Regulation of Acid-Base Balance

1.8K
Respiratory compensation is a vital physiological process that stabilizes blood plasma pH by regulating the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), a key determinant of pH levels. Most carbon dioxide in the blood dissolves and converts into carbonic acid (H2CO3). It dissociates into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3⁻). There is also an inverse relationship between PCO2​​ and pH.
When carbon dioxide levels increase in the blood, more H+ and HCO3⁻ are...

Summary

Aging alters immune checkpoint molecules, increasing autoimmune disease risk. This can lead to autoimmune vasculitis, even after cancer treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Oncology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Immune checkpoint molecules balance immune responses and prevent autoimmunity.
  • Cancer cells exploit these pathways to evade immune detection.
  • Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective cancer treatments but can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs).

Observation:

  • A case of melanoma treated with ICIs developed biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis.
  • Age-related changes in immune checkpoint molecules may destabilize the immune system.
  • This instability can lead to tolerance failure and autoimmune conditions.

Findings:

  • Age-related alterations in immune checkpoint molecule expression and function contribute to immune system instability.
  • This instability increases susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, specifically autoimmune vasculitis.
  • ICI therapy can unmask or exacerbate these age-related immune dysfunctions.

Implications:

  • Understanding the link between aging, immune checkpoints, and autoimmunity is crucial for managing irAEs.
  • This knowledge may inform strategies to mitigate the risk of autoimmune vasculitis in aging populations and ICI-treated patients.
  • Further research into immune checkpoint pathways in aging and autoimmunity is warranted.
