Tumor Progression

7.3K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

4.7K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Active versus Passive Immunity01:31

Active versus Passive Immunity

10.1K
Immunity, along with the ability to limit pathogen growth to prevent significant body tissue damage, can be gained either by (1) actively developing an immune response within the individual after exposure to a pathogen or after getting vaccinated or (2) passively transferring immune components from an immune individual to one who is nonimmune. Both these forms of immunity can be found naturally and in medical practices.

Introduction to Lymphatic and Immune System

16.7K
Immunity is a crucial biological concept about our body's inherent capacity to prevent infections and diseases. A complex network of cells and tissues collectively known as the immune system facilitates this natural defense mechanism. The immune system plays an integral role in maintaining our health and well-being, shielding us from potential health threats.
The immune responses can be categorized into two types: innate and adaptive. Innate immunity comprises nonspecific defenses we are...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Public Health
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Maternal immunization is a strategy to protect pregnant women and their infants from infectious diseases.
  • Vaccine efficacy and safety in pregnancy depend on vaccine type, administration timing, antibody response, and maternal health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review research progress in maternal immunization.
  • To provide a reference for maternal immunization planning and policymaking in China.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of maternal immunization research.
  • Analysis of vaccine types, timing, antibody subtypes, and maternal health status.

Main Results:

  • Inactivated influenza and DPT vaccines are widely used during pregnancy.
  • Hepatitis B, pneumococcal, and meningococcal vaccines demonstrate good efficacy and safety in pregnant women.

Conclusions:

  • Maternal immunization is a critical public health intervention.
  • Evidence supports the use of specific vaccines during pregnancy to enhance maternal and infant immunity.
