Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

33.8K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

What are Cells?

199.2K
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...

What is Cell Signaling?

130.3K
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.

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:

Chemistry of the Cell02:58

Chemistry of the Cell

47.9K
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...

Hair Cells01:22

Hair Cells

44.9K
Hair cells are the sensory receptors of the auditory system—they transduce mechanical sound waves into electrical energy that the nervous system can understand. Hair cells are located in the organ of Corti within the cochlea of the inner ear, between the basilar and tectorial membranes. The actual sensory receptors are called inner hair cells. The outer hair cells serve other functions, such as sound amplification in the cochlea, and are not discussed in detail here.

Summary

Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) is a rare appendix tumor. The high-grade adenocarcinoma component, not GCC, determines patient prognosis and guides treatment decisions.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC), also known as goblet cell carcinoma, is a rare mixed endocrine-exocrine neoplasm predominantly found in the appendix.
  • GCC is characterized by specific cellular morphology and infiltration patterns within the appendiceal wall.
  • The co-occurrence of high-grade adenocarcinoma with GCC, termed adenocarcinoma ex GCC or mixed GCC-adenocarcinoma, is increasingly recognized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the prognostic significance of the high-grade adenocarcinomatous component in mixed GCC-adenocarcinoma.
  • To review existing histologic classification and grading systems for GCC and their correlation with patient survival.
  • To outline current treatment strategies for GCC based on tumor stage and histological features.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on goblet cell carcinoid and mixed GCC-adenocarcinoma.
  • Analysis of histopathological features and their correlation with patient outcomes.
  • Evaluation of proposed classification and grading systems for GCC.

Main Results:

  • The high-grade adenocarcinomatous component, rather than GCC alone, is the primary determinant of prognosis in mixed GCC-adenocarcinoma.
  • Established histologic classification and grading systems show a correlation with overall patient survival.
  • Treatment decisions are predominantly guided by tumor stage and the presence of a high-grade adenocarcinomatous component.

Conclusions:

  • The prognostic impact of the adenocarcinomatous component underscores the importance of accurate histological assessment in managing GCC.
  • Standardized classification and grading systems are crucial for predicting patient survival and guiding therapeutic interventions.
  • Tailored treatment strategies, considering both tumor stage and histological subtype, are essential for optimal patient outcomes.
