Anatomy of the Intestines01:23

Anatomy of the Intestines

87.9K
Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

Apoptosis01:30

Apoptosis

15.3K
Apoptosis is a combination of two Greek words, 'apo' and 'ptosis,' meaning separation and falling off, respectively. Hippocrates used this word to describe gangrene, which was caused due to bandaging of fractured bones. Apoptosis was distinguished from necrosis in 1970 when John Kerr reported observations of morphological changes occurring during apoptosis. During one experiment, he observed that the disruption of blood supply to the liver tissue resulted in a size...

The Colonization of Land

37.8K
Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...

Normal Distribution01:11

Normal Distribution

17.4K
The normal, a continuous distribution, is the most important of all the distributions. Its graph is a bell-shaped symmetrical curve, which is observed in almost all disciplines. Some of these include psychology, business, economics, the sciences, nursing, and, of course, mathematics. Some instructors may use the normal distribution to help determine students’ grades. Most IQ scores are normally distributed. Often real-estate prices fit a normal distribution. The normal distribution is...

Normal Stress01:19

Normal Stress

1.5K
Normal stress is a type of stress that occurs when forces act perpendicular, or normal, to a material's cross-sectional area. This stress often arises in structures when subjected to axial loading, which is the application of force along the axis of an object. A practical example of this can be found in bridge truss members.
When a rod is under axial loading, the internal forces and corresponding stress are normal to the plane of the section, so it is termed normal stress. It's important to...

Introduction to Normal Distributions01:29

Introduction to Normal Distributions

Standardized test scores often follow a symmetric distribution that can be modeled with the normal distribution, a fundamental concept in statistics. This distribution is particularly useful for interpreting test performance fairly across populations, as it provides a mathematical framework for understanding variability and central tendency in large datasets.From Histogram to Frequency DistributionRaw test data are often displayed using histograms, where the height of each bar represents the...

  • Molecular Biology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Caspase-dependent apoptosis and anoikis are vital for tissue homeostasis and organogenesis.
  • Dysregulation of these cell death pathways is implicated in inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer (CRC).
  • Resistance to apoptosis and anoikis is a hallmark of cancer progression, invasion, and metastasis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide methodologies for assessing caspase-dependent apoptosis and anoikis.
  • To cover assessment in normal and colorectal cancer (CRC) intestinal/colonic cells.
  • To include methods applicable in vivo, ex vivo, and in cellulo.

Main Methods:

  • The chapter outlines established techniques for evaluating apoptosis.
  • It describes methods for assessing anoikis, a specific form of apoptosis.
  • Techniques cover various experimental settings: in vivo, ex vivo, and in cellulo.

Main Results:

  • The provided methodologies enable the monitoring and assessment of apoptosis and anoikis.
  • These methods are applicable to both normal and cancerous intestinal/colonic cell contexts.
  • The chapter serves as a guide for researchers studying cell death in the gut.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate assessment of apoptosis and anoikis is essential for understanding gut physiopathology.
  • Methodologies presented are critical for research into inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer.
  • This work facilitates the study of cell death dysregulation in gastrointestinal disorders.
