Endocrine Signaling01:45

Endocrine Signaling

68.2K
Endocrine cells produce hormones to communicate with remote target cells found in other organs. The hormone reaches these distant areas using the circulatory system. This exposes the whole organism to the hormone but only those cells expressing hormone receptors or target cells are affected. Thus, endocrine signaling induces slow responses from its target cells but these effects also last longer.

Bacterial Signaling01:30

Bacterial Signaling

41.2K
Bacterial signaling can occur within bacteria (intracellular) or between bacteria (intercellular). At times, a group of bacteria behaves like a community. To achieve this, they engage in quorum sensing, the perception of higher cell density that causes changes in gene expression. Quorum sensing involves both extracellular and intracellular signaling. The signaling cascade starts with a molecule called an autoinducer (AI). Individual bacteria produce AIs that move out of the bacterial cell...

Yeast Signaling01:28

Yeast Signaling

17.3K
Yeasts are single-celled organisms, but unlike bacteria, they are eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus). Cell signaling in yeast is similar to signaling in other eukaryotic cells. A ligand, such as a protein or a small molecule released from a yeast cell, attaches to a receptor on the cell surface. The binding stimulates second-messenger kinases to activate or inactivate transcription factors that further regulate gene expression. Many of the yeast intracellular signaling cascades have similar...

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.

Paracrine Signaling01:21

Paracrine Signaling

59.7K
Paracrine signaling allows cells to communicate with their immediate neighbors via secretion of signaling molecules. Such a signal can only trigger a response in nearby target cells because the signal molecules degrade quickly or are inactivated if not taken up. Prominent examples of paracrine signaling include nitric oxide signaling in blood vessels, synaptic signaling of neurons, the blood clotting system, tissue repair/wound healing, and local allergic skin reactions. Nitric oxide as a...

Synaptic Signaling01:12

Synaptic Signaling

79.8K
Neurons communicate at synapses, or junctions, to excite or inhibit the activity of other neurons or target cells, such as muscles. Synapses may be chemical or electrical.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Science
  • Immunology
  • Trauma Research

Background:

  • Danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are key mediators in post-traumatic responses.
  • The dual role of DAMPs in inflammation and regeneration remains incompletely understood.
  • Current understanding of DAMPs is primarily derived from in vitro and experimental models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on trauma-induced DAMPs.
  • To highlight the complexities and dual roles of DAMPs in post-traumatic settings.
  • To identify areas for future research regarding DAMPs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current research on trauma-induced DAMPs.
  • Analysis of the bivalent and pleiotropic effects of DAMPs.
  • Discussion of DAMPs as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.

Main Results:

  • DAMPs exhibit complex, often opposing effects in local tissue and systemic inflammation.
  • DAMPs show potential as biomarkers for injury severity and surgical timing.
  • Translating findings from experimental models to human settings presents challenges.

Conclusions:

  • The precise role of DAMPs in post-traumatic inflammation and regeneration requires further elucidation.
  • Investigating DAMPs' nuclear functions, transcriptional targets, and release mechanisms is crucial.
  • Understanding DAMP interactions and exploring therapeutic targeting strategies are warranted.
