Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

24.1K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Aseptic techniques prevent contamination, ensure experimental accuracy, and protect researchers and microbial cultures. These techniques are essential in clinical, industrial, and research settings where sterility is required.Maintaining Sterility in Laboratory PracticesScientists maintain sterility by sterilizing tools with heat or chemicals, disinfecting work surfaces, and handling cultures in controlled environments. Working near an open flame or within a laminar flow hood reduces the risk...

Skin Cancer

5.8K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Sensory Functions of the Skin01:16

Sensory Functions of the Skin

8.0K
The skin is the largest organ of the human body and plays a crucial role in our sensory perception. It contains a vast network of sensory receptors that contribute to the skin's protective function by perceiving physical, biological, and environmental cues and generating relevant responses.
There are two main categories of receptors on the skin: capsulated and non-capsulated. The non-capsulated ones are mainly the pain receptors. The capsulated ones can be further categorized based on the...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.2K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Immunology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Chronic inflammation is a known risk factor for tumorigenesis.
  • The mechanisms linking inflammation to oncogenic changes in the tissue microenvironment require further elucidation.
  • Inflammation supports cancer cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, and metastasis while suppressing anti-tumor immunity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the intricate relationship between inflammation and tumorigenesis.
  • To highlight the role of the inflammatory microenvironment in cancer development.
  • To identify potential biomarkers for improved cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing scientific literature on inflammation-mediated tumorigenesis.
  • Analysis of molecular pathways involved in inflammation-induced cancer.
  • Examination of the role of inflammation in various skin cancers, including squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma.

Main Results:

  • Inflammatory microenvironments are conducive to tumor initiation and progression.
  • Inflammation impacts multiple hallmarks of cancer, including sustained proliferation, immune evasion, and angiogenesis.
  • Biomarkers associated with inflammation show promise for enhancing oncological diagnosis and prognosis, particularly in skin cancers.

Conclusions:

  • The transition from inflammation to tumorigenesis is a critical area of research.
  • Inflammatory markers hold significant potential as diagnostic and prognostic tools in oncology.
  • Further research into inflammation-mediated tumorigenesis can lead to novel therapeutic strategies, especially in immune-oncology for skin cancers.
