What are Cells?01:07

What are Cells?

204.9K
Cells are the smallest and basic units of life, whether it is a single cell that forms the entire organism, e.g., in a bacterium or trillions of them, e.g., in humans. No matter what organism a cell is a part of, they share specific characteristics.
Basic Characteristics of Cells
A living cell has a plasma membrane, a bilayer of lipids that separates the aqueous solution inside the cell called the cytoplasm from the outside environment.
Furthermore, a living cell possesses genetic information...

Tissues

85.7K
Cells with similar structure and function are grouped into tissues. A group of tissues with a specialized function is called an organ. There are four main types of tissue in vertebrates: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.

What is Cell Signaling?02:03

What is Cell Signaling?

131.1K
Despite the protective membrane that separates a cell from the environment, cells need the ability to detect and respond to environmental changes. Additionally, cells often need to communicate with one another. Unicellular and multicellular organisms use a variety of cell signaling mechanisms to communicate to respond to the environment.

Chemistry of the Cell02:58

Chemistry of the Cell

48.4K
The cell is chemically composed of water, organic molecules and inorganic ions.
Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...

Concentration Cells02:41

Concentration Cells

25.9K
A concentration cell is a type of a  voltaic cell constructed by connecting two almost identical half-cells, both based on the same half-reaction and using the same electrode, differing only in the concentration of one redox species. A concentration cell's potential, therefore, is determined only by the concentration difference of the particular redox species.
Consider the following voltaic cell:

Cell Size01:22

Cell Size

132.0K
Cell sizes vary widely among and within organisms. Bacterial cells range between 1-10 micrometers (μm)and are considerably smaller than most eukaryotic cells. The smallest bacteria are 0.1 μm in diameter—about a thousand times smaller than eukaryotic cells, which typically range from 10-100 μm.
Surface Area
Cells can take in nutrients and water via diffusion through the plasma membrane itself or through specific channels in the membrane. The area of the membrane surrounding...

  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is characterized by high metastatic potential and poor patient prognosis.
  • CD109, a cell-surface glycoprotein, has recently gained attention in SCC research.
  • Elevated CD109 expression is frequently observed in human SCCs across various organs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the expression patterns of CD109 in different types of SCC.
  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which CD109 influences SCC pathogenesis.
  • To highlight CD109 as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for SCC.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies investigating CD109 expression in SCC.
  • Analysis of reported molecular mechanisms involving CD109 in cancer progression.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on CD109's role in SCC pathogenesis.

Main Results:

  • CD109 is consistently overexpressed in human SCCs from multiple organ sites.
  • Evidence suggests CD109 plays a significant role in promoting SCC progression and metastasis.
  • The precise molecular functions of CD109 in SCC pathogenesis are under active investigation.

Conclusions:

  • CD109 is a promising biomarker for SCC diagnosis and prognosis.
  • Targeting CD109 may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for managing SCC.
