Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

9.0K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Targets for Drug Action: Overview

10.5K
Drugs target macromolecules to modify ongoing cellular processes. Primary drug targets include receptors, ion channels, transporters, and enzymes.
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...

Target Cell Response to Hormones01:22

Target Cell Response to Hormones

5.8K
Hormones intricately bind to receptors on the surface or within target cells, initiating a cascade of cellular responses.
Notably, the cellular response can be regulated by altering the number of receptors expressed in the cell. For example, prolonged exposure to elevated hormone levels results in a gradual decline or down-regulation in the number of receptors for that specific hormone on the cell surface. Conversely, in response to low hormone levels, cells may use up-regulation, producing an...

Biodiversity and Human Values

17.1K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Human Genetics

1.6K
Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Requirements for Human Life01:26

Requirements for Human Life

14.0K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Systems Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • Brain stimulation influences neural circuit excitability and neuroplasticity.
  • The effects of brain stimulation on large-scale neural networks are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate stimulation-induced changes in large-scale network dynamics.
  • To explore how brain stimulation affects functional connectivity between cortical areas.

Main Methods:

  • Used a large-scale optogenetic interface for simultaneous stimulation and electrocorticography recording in macaques.
  • Recorded neural activity across primary somatosensory (S1) and motor (M1) cortex.
  • Tracked network response to focal stimulation and baseline electrode coherence.

Main Results:

  • Stimulation in S1 or M1 rapidly and significantly strengthened functional connectivity between these areas.
  • Observed heterogeneous connectivity changes across the network at a finer scale.
  • Changes in connectivity correlated with stimulation-evoked activity, supporting Hebbian plasticity.

Conclusions:

  • Brain stimulation can modify large-scale network connectivity.
  • Findings support the extension of Hebbian plasticity principles to macroscopic circuits.
  • Results have significant implications for developing advanced stimulation-based neurorehabilitation therapies.
