Summary
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) understanding has revolutionized in the last decade. Future research aims to discover biomarkers and develop therapies for this rare neurological disorder.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Neurology
Background:
- Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) understanding has significantly advanced in the last decade.
- Historically, limited knowledge existed regarding PSP's clinical spectrum and pathophysiology.
Observation:
- The past decade has seen the discovery of PSP's wide clinical spectrum, leading to revised diagnostic criteria in 2017.
- Numerous large-scale, double-blind clinical trials for disease-modifying agents have provided novel insights into PSP biomarkers and progression.
Findings:
- Recent advancements have deepened the understanding of PSP's pathophysiological processes.
- These insights have facilitated the design and execution of clinical trials.
Implications:
- Future efforts will focus on biomarker discovery for earlier and more accurate PSP diagnosis.
- The ultimate goal is developing neuroprotective therapies for early-stage intervention in PSP patients.

02:07Tumor Progression
7.2K
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...

03:03mTOR 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.

02:20Longitudinal Research
13.1K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

01:50Global Climate Change
28.8K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

02:55The Nucleolus
10.3K
The nucleolus is the most prominent substructure of the nucleus. When it was first discovered, it was considered to be an isolated organelle that forms fibrils and granules. In 1931, the relationship between the nucleolus and chromosomes was first described by Heitz. He observed that the appearance and size of nucleolus varies depending on the stage of the cell cycle. He also noticed constricted regions on different chromosomes clustered together at definite cell cycle stages. These regions,...

02:53Reaction Rate
62.5K
The rate of reaction is the change in the amount of a reactant or product per unit time. Reaction rates are therefore determined by measuring the time dependence of some property that can be related to reactant or product amounts. Rates of reactions that consume or produce gaseous substances, for example, are conveniently determined by measuring changes in volume or pressure.
The mathematical representation of the change in the concentration of reactants and products, over time, is the rate...
