    The basic elements of the feedback suppression circuit of T cell interactions are summarized. Ly1 T cells can be stimulated directly to become inducers of Ly2+ T suppressor cells or helper cells for B cells that produce antibody to erythrocyte antigens. Ly2 cells can be activated to become suppressors only in the presence of Ly1 cells. An Ly1,2,3, cell is the acceptor of the Ly1 inducer signal. Using an intermediate culture technique, it can be shown that Ly1 inducers are a target of suppressor T cell activity.

    Receptor Downregulation in MVBs01:15

    Receptor Downregulation in MVBs

    Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are mature endosomes that sort ubiquitinated proteins and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the sorted proteins. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) form a complex that can be internalized through endocytosis, sorted into an MVB, and later degraded.
    The EGFR can initiate signaling pathways that  lead to cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Overexpression of EGFR  stimulates cells to proliferate. Excessive  EGFR activation may...
    Interactions Between Signaling Pathways01:19

    Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

    Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
    Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
    Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
    Cell Signaling Feedback Loops01:07

    Cell Signaling Feedback Loops

    Positive and negative feedback loops are crucial for regulating biological signaling systems. These feedback loops are processes that connect output signals to their inputs.
    Negative feedback loops
    Most signaling systems have negative feedback loops that can perform different functions such as output limiter, and adaptation.
    Output limiter
    Upon receiving an input signal, the cellular response rapidly increases until a threshold is reached. Beyond this threshold, a negative feedback loop...
    TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

    TGF - β Signaling Pathway

    The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors are of three kinds RI, RII, and RIII. The RI...
    Inflammatory Response01:28

    Inflammatory Response

    An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
    Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...
