- 动物模型 动物模型
背景情况:
- 纤维化,以过度的细胞外基质沉积为特征,损害组织功能.
- 巨和与之相关的生长激素 (GH) 和类似胰岛素的生长因子-1 (IGF-1) 信号传递与纤维化有关.
- 缺乏GH诱导纤维化的综合多组织和基于年龄的分析.
研究的目的:
- 评估6个组织 (肺,脏,肝脏,脏,四头骨,心脏) 的纤维化,年轻和老年牛GH (bGH) 转基因和野生型小鼠.
- 评估年龄,性别和GH过剩对原蛋白含量和营业额的影响.
主要方法:

TGF - β Signaling Pathway
7.2K
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...

Cellular Adaptation II: Hypertrophy
54
Hypertrophy is the increase in the size of individual cells, resulting in the enlargement of a tissue or organ. Unlike hyperplasia, which involves an increase in cell number, hypertrophy is characterized by an increase in cell volume. This process often occurs in response to higher functional demand or hormonal stimulation, leading to the production of more structural proteins and organelles, thereby enhancing the cells' work capacity.There are two primary types of hypertrophy:...

Healing I: Introduction
14
Healing is the physiological process by which the body restores the integrity and function of damaged tissues following injury. It involves a coordinated interplay of cellular proliferation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and growth factor signaling. The extent and nature of the tissue damage determine whether healing occurs by resolution, regeneration, or replacement.ResolutionResolution represents the most complete form of healing, occurring when the injury is minimal and tissue...
