Animal Mitochondrial Genetics02:59

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics

9.3K
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...

Tonicity in Animals00:59

Tonicity in Animals

124.6K
The tonicity of a solution determines if a cell gains or loses water in that solution. The tonicity depends on the permeability of the cell membrane for different solutes and the concentration of nonpenetrating solutes in the solution within and outside of the cell. If a semipermeable membrane hinders the passage of some solutes but allows water to follow its concentration gradient, water moves from the side with low osmolarity (i.e., less solute) to the side with higher osmolarity (i.e.,...

Tonicity in Animals

5.3K
Tonicity describes the amount of solute in a solution. The measure of the tonicity of a solution, or the total amount of solutes dissolved in a specific amount of solution, is called its osmolarity. Three terms—hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic—are used to relate the osmolarity of a cell to the osmolarity of the extracellular fluid that contains the cells. In a hypotonic solution, such as tap water, the extracellular fluid has a lower concentration of solutes than the fluid inside...

Porin Insertion in the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane01:12

Porin Insertion in the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane

4.9K
Porins are beta-barrel proteins translocated to the mitochondrial outer membrane through the TOM complex into the intermembrane space. Porin precursors bind TIM chaperones within the intermembrane space and are guided to the Sorting and Assembly Machinery complex or SAM complex on the outer mitochondrial membrane.
Three models describe the assembly of porins by the SAM complex and their insertion into the outer membrane. Model 1 suggests that porins are assembled outside the SAM channel as the...

Insertion of Single-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER01:26

Insertion of Single-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER

18.1K
Integral membrane proteins are proteins adhered to the lipid bilayer of a cell organelle or membrane. They can be of two types: transmembrane integral proteins that span the lipid bilayer and monotopic proteins that are attached to either side of the membrane but do not pass through it.
Integral transmembrane proteins possess transmembrane and extra membrane domains. The transmembrane domains are primarily made of 20-25 hydrophobic amino acids arranged in a helical secondary confirmation. These...

Insertion of Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER01:29

Insertion of Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER

18.5K
The rough ER membrane synthesizes, assembles, and embeds transmembrane proteins in diverse topologies. These proteins function as transporters or channels and can remain in the ER membrane or are sent to the Golgi complex, lysosome, and cell membrane.
The multipass transmembrane proteins are the type IV integral membrane proteins with multiple topogenic sequences determining their spatial arrangement in the ER membrane. Nearly all multipass proteins lack a cleavable signal sequence and use...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Dermatology
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Polydioxanone (PDO) sutures are utilized for facial tightening and lifting.
  • The mechanisms behind improved complexion, elasticity, and facial contouring post-PDO treatment are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the temporal tissue alterations induced by PDO suture insertion.
  • To elucidate the histological changes occurring after PDO monofilament thread implantation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized four Yucatan pigs, chosen for skin similarity to humans.
  • Administered 4-0 PDO threads into subcutaneous fat.
  • Performed histological analysis using H&E, Masson trichrome, and anti-smooth muscle actin staining at 4, 12, 24, and 48 weeks.

Main Results:

  • Identified nine distinct histological findings over the study period.
  • Summarized these findings into five key tissue changes.
  • Observed neo-collagenesis, fibrous merging, fat reduction, tissue contracture, and enhanced vascularity.

Conclusions:

  • PDO sutures induce specific tissue responses including neo-collagenesis and fat reduction.
  • Fibrous merging, tissue contracture, and an improved vascular environment are key outcomes.
  • These histological changes provide a basis for the clinical benefits observed in PDO thread treatments.
