Abstract:
DICER1 syndrome encompasses a wide range of phenotypes, and not all individuals with DICER1 syndrome develop aggressive soft tissue tumors. DICER1 syndrome and other genetic conditions predisposing to the development of thyroid tumors should be considered when a young patient presents with thyroid nodules and a positive family history.

02:30Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance
33.0K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

01:12Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal
2.0K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...
