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.

Phase Transitions02:31

Phase Transitions

23.3K
Whether solid, liquid, or gas, a substance's state depends on the order and arrangement of its particles (atoms, molecules, or ions). Particles in the solid pack closely together, generally in a pattern. The particles vibrate about their fixed positions but do not move or squeeze past their neighbors. In liquids, although the particles are closely spaced, they are randomly arranged. The position of the particles are not fixed—that is, they are free to move past their neighbors to...

What is the Endocrine System?

420.9K
The endocrine system sends hormones—chemical signals—through the bloodstream to target cells—the cells the hormones selectively affect. These signals are produced in endocrine cells, secreted into the extracellular fluid, and then diffuse into the blood. Eventually, they diffuse out of the blood and bind to target cells which have specialized receptors to recognize the hormones.

The Endocrine System01:29

The Endocrine System

1.4K
The endocrine system is an extensive network of glands – organs or tissues in the body that create chemicals that control many bodily functions, that secrete hormones, which are chemical messengers that play essential roles in regulating various bodily functions. These hormones are secreted into the bloodstream and travel throughout the body. They require specific receptors to convey signals to cells possessing these corresponding receptors. This complex signaling mechanism ensures that...

Fertilization01:38

Fertilization

91.7K
During fertilization, an egg and sperm cell fuse to create a new diploid structure. In humans, the process occurs once the egg has been released from the ovary, and travels into the fallopian tubes. The process requires several key steps: 1) sperm present in the genital tract must locate the egg; 2) once there, sperm need to release enzymes to help them burrow through the protective zona pellucida of the egg; and 3) the membranes of a single sperm cell and egg must fuse, with the sperm...

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins02:18

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

19.6K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

    Summary

    Fertility preservation (FP) offers options for young girls facing medical treatments or conditions affecting reproductive health. Techniques like ovarian tissue and oocyte cryopreservation provide hope, with informed consent crucial for pediatric patients and families.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive medicine
    • Pediatric oncology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Fertility preservation (FP) indications have expanded beyond cancer treatment.
    • Young girls with genetic disorders, endocrine issues, or ovarian diseases now benefit from FP.
    • Premature ovarian insufficiency is a growing concern addressed by FP.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the expanded indications for fertility preservation in pediatric patients.
    • To highlight available FP techniques for premenarchal and postmenarchal girls.
    • To emphasize the importance of informed consent regarding FP risks and benefits.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current literature on pediatric fertility preservation.
    • Analysis of techniques applicable to different age groups (premenarchal vs. postmenarchal).
    • Discussion of ethical considerations and patient counseling.

    Main Results:

    • Fertility preservation is now indicated for a broader range of conditions in young girls.
    • Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is the primary option for premenarchal girls.
    • Oocyte cryopreservation is an option for postmenarchal girls after ovarian stimulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Fertility preservation techniques are increasingly vital for pediatric patients with diverse medical needs.
    • Tailored FP approaches are available for different age groups.
    • Comprehensive counseling on FP benefits, risks, and limitations is essential for children and their parents.
