mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

3.7K
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...

Translation01:31

Translation

14.5K
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Mitral Valve Prolapse I: Introduction

1
IntroductionThe mitral valve, one of the heart's four valves, regulates blood flow. These valves have flaps that open and close to direct blood properly through the heart and body. During each heartbeat, the flaps open for blood to pass through and seal shut to prevent backflow. Specifically, the mitral valve opens to allow blood flow from the heart's upper left chamber to the lower left chamber. It then closes securely as the lower left chamber contracts to pump blood to the body, preventing...

Sex-linked Disorders

100.3K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Lysosomal Hydrolases01:22

Lysosomal Hydrolases

3.8K
Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Inflammatory Disorders

Background:

  • Mondor disease (MD) is a rare, benign inflammatory condition affecting superficial veins of the thoracoabdominal wall.
  • Despite being described for a century, MD is infrequently documented due to low physician awareness and its typically self-limiting nature.
  • Patients often present with painful lesions or palpable cords on the lateral thoracic wall.

Observation:

  • A woman in her 40s presented with a 6-month history of a band-like lesion on her right lateral chest wall.
  • The clinical presentation was consistent with Mondor disease.
  • The patient underwent surgical excision of the affected cord.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision provided a definitive treatment for the symptomatic Mondor disease.
  • The patient experienced complete symptom resolution post-excision.
  • This case highlights a less common but effective treatment modality for persistent MD.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of Mondor disease is crucial for accurate diagnosis and timely management.
  • Surgical intervention can be a viable option for refractory or symptomatic cases of MD.
  • Further research into MD associations, including breast cancer and pandemic-related incidence, is warranted.
