Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

33.4K
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...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

1.2K
Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Pathophysiology of Vomiting01:22

Pathophysiology of Vomiting

2.9K
Vomiting is a complex physiological response to expel harmful or irritating substances from the body. It's a defensive mechanism triggered by stimuli like poisons, microbial toxins, cytotoxic drugs, and mechanical abdominal distension. The process is centrally coordinated by the vomiting (or emetic) center located in the medulla of the brainstem. This area, rich in muscarinic M1, histamine H1, neurokinin 1 (NK1), and serotonin 5-HT3 receptors, coordinates the act of vomiting through...

Embryonic Stem Cells00:58

Embryonic Stem Cells

32.1K
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells, meaning they can produce any cell type in the body. This gives them tremendous potential in science and medicine since they can generate specific cell types for use in research or to replace body cells lost due to damage or disease.

Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

17.6K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids01:24

CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids

820
CNS stimulants, such as cocaine, amphetamines, and cannabinoids, have varying structures and mechanisms of action that lead to different therapeutic effects and side effects. Cocaine, with its molecular formula C17H21NO4, is a tropane alkaloid and a tertiary amino compound. It has two chemical forms: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The former is in powder form, while the latter involves removing the hydrochloride salt to create a form that can be smoked. Cocaine exerts its...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Neurodegenerative disorders pose a growing global health and social challenge.
  • Current treatments for these disorders are insufficient due to complex pathophysiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of cannabinoids in regulating neural stem cell (NSC) biology.
  • To explore the potential of cannabinoids in modulating neurogenic features for neurological disorders.
  • To assess the combined therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and stem cell therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on cannabinoid effects on NSC biology.
  • Analysis of research on neurogenic modulation by cannabinoids.
  • Examination of evidence for combined cannabinoid and stem cell therapy in neurological contexts.

Main Results:

  • Cannabinoids are potent regulators of NSC proliferation, differentiation, and survival.
  • Specific cannabinoids can modulate key neurogenic pathways relevant to disease pathophysiology.
  • Evidence suggests a synergistic effect when cannabinoids are combined with stem cell transplantation.

Conclusions:

  • Cannabinoids offer a promising avenue for enhancing stem cell therapy in neurological disorders.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate precise mechanisms and optimize therapeutic applications.
  • Targeting NSC biology with cannabinoids presents a novel strategy for neurodegenerative disease treatment.
