Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.5K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

4.9K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

The Nucleolus02:55

The Nucleolus

10.4K
The nucleolus is the most prominent substructure of the nucleus. When it was first discovered, it was considered to be an isolated organelle that forms fibrils and granules. In 1931, the relationship between the nucleolus and chromosomes was first described by Heitz. He observed that the appearance and size of nucleolus varies depending on the stage of the cell cycle. He also noticed constricted regions on different chromosomes clustered together at definite cell cycle stages. These regions,...

Reaction Rate02:53

Reaction Rate

65.6K
The rate of reaction is the change in the amount of a reactant or product per unit time. Reaction rates are therefore determined by measuring the time dependence of some property that can be related to reactant or product amounts. Rates of reactions that consume or produce gaseous substances, for example, are conveniently determined by measuring changes in volume or pressure.
The mathematical representation of the change in the concentration of reactants and products, over time, is the rate...

Spontaneous Chemical Reactions
Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...

Measuring Reaction Rates03:09

Measuring Reaction Rates

31.2K
Polarimetry finds application in chemical kinetics to measure the concentration and reaction kinetics of optically active substances during a chemical reaction. Optically active substances have the capability of rotating the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light passing through them—a feature called optical rotation. Optical activity is attributed to the molecular structure of substances. Normal monochromatic light is unpolarized and possesses oscillations of the electrical...

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive psychology and linguistics
    • Philosophy of science
    • Bioethics

    Background:

    • Steven Pinker's book "Enlightenment Now" advocates for progress driven by reason, science, and humanism.
    • The book argues for the benefits of progress, framing it within the Enlightenment ideals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically evaluate Steven Pinker's arguments in "Enlightenment Now."
    • To assess the book's claims regarding progress, science, and humanism.
    • To examine the book's treatment of contemporary challenges, particularly bioethics.

    Main Methods:

    • Critical analysis of "Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress."
    • Review of Pinker's arguments on progress and the threats to science.
    • Examination of the book's engagement with bioethical issues.

    Main Results:

    • Pinker makes a compelling case for the benefits of progress.
    • The book is criticized for an "overdose of feel-good prose" and for exaggerating threats to science.
    • Pinker is noted for avoiding complex issues and for a perceived animus against bioethics.

    Conclusions:

    • While Pinker effectively argues for progress, the analysis highlights limitations in his approach.
    • The review suggests Pinker overlooks the complexities and new problems arising from scientific advancements.
    • The critique emphasizes Pinker's failure to fully engage with the core of bioethics, which addresses dilemmas from medical progress.
