Summary
Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is an aggressive cancer linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It primarily affects the upper aerodigestive tract, with varied treatments based on disease stage.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Virology
- Immunology
Background:
- Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is an aggressive neoplasm originating from cytotoxic T cells or natural killer (NK) cells.
- Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is a key factor in ENKTL pathogenesis, present in most cases.
- ENKTL has a higher prevalence in Asia and Latin America, predominantly affecting men aged 40-50.

What is Natural Selection?
129.5K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.

Nature and Nurture
22.4K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

Data Reporting and Recording
5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity
1.5K
An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells
3.1K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...
