The document summarizes tissue regeneration and fibrosis. It covers the normal wound healing process and definitions of regeneration versus repair. It discusses stem cells, growth factors, signaling pathways, extracellular matrix components and cell-matrix interactions that are important for regeneration. Fibrosis occurs when there is excessive or uncontrolled deposition of extracellular matrix proteins like collagen. Maintaining the proper balance between deposition and degradation of extracellular matrix components is key to avoiding fibrosis and allowing normal tissue regeneration.

The regeneration of injured cells and tissues involves cell proliferation, which is driven by growth factors and is critically dependent on the integrity of the extracellular matrix, and by the development of mature cells from stem cells”
Regeneration:
Returning to normal state
Cells having capacity to proliferate
E.g., epithelial cells of skin and intestine
Liver
Scar formation:
Incapable of complete restitution
Supporting tissue severely injured
Fibrosis >> scar formation
“ Acellular connective tissue devoid of inflammatory infiltrate covered by intact epithelium is called scar”
Coagulation: In medicine, the clotting of blood. The process by which the blood clots to form solid masses, or clots.
More than 30 types of cells and substances in blood affect clotting. The process is initiated by blood platelets. Platelets produce a substance that combines with calcium ions in the blood to form thromboplastin, which in turn converts the protein prothrombin into thrombin in a complex series of reactions. Thrombin, a proteolytic enzyme, converts fibrinogen, a protein substance, into fibrin, an insoluble protein that forms an intricate network of minute threadlike structures called fibrils and causes the blood plasma to gel. The blood cells and plasma are enmeshed in the network of fibrils to form the clot.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
2. Point to be covered
• Normal Wound healing
• Regeneration and repair
• Stem cells: biology & therapeutic applications
• Cell cycle and regulation of cell replication
• Growth factors and signaling mechanisms
• Extracellular Matrix and Cell-Matrix Interactions
• Summary
3. Normal wound healing
• Normal healing cascade begins with an orderly
process of hemostasis and fibrin deposition i.e.
– Homemostasis
– Inflammation
– Proliferation
– Remodeling
4. Inflammation: Within 24 hours
neutrophils reaches at wound site
and remove foreign materials,
(phagocytosis). And macrophages
releaes more GF & cytokines
Homeostasis: , After
injury, Platelets
reaches to wound &
release clotting factors
and GF.
Remodeling: Process of
ECM, collagen
remodeling &, degradation
takes place
Proliferation: Macrophages releases GF
& cytokines. Fibroblasts attach to the
cables of the provisional fibrin matrix and
begin to produce collagen
5. Definitions: Regeneration vs. Repair
REPAIR: Response to injury involving both
regeneration and scar formation (fibrosis).
Normal structure is permanently altered.
REGENERATION: Proliferation of cells
and tissues to replace lost or damaged cells
and tissues. Normal structure is restored.
6. Fibrosis
Persistent insult, there is imbalance between deposition and degradation of
collagen termed as fibrosis which is irreversible & leads to tissue dysfunction
Chronic injury
Acute injury
Fibrosis
7. Cell types: capacity for regeneration
Cell type Examples Regenerative capacity
Labile Physical barrier (skin,
GI tract, respiratory
tract, urinary tract)
Unlimited; characterized by
continuous regeneration
Quiescent Most internal organs
(liver, kidney,
endocrine);
mesenchymal cells
(fibroblast, smooth
muscle, vascular)
Limited, in response to
stimuli; requires intact
basement membranes
(extracellular matrix) for
organized regeneration
Permanent CNS neurons; skeletal
and cardiac muscle
cells
Very Little; repaired by
replacement with scar
9. Stem Cells: Origins and Types
Totipotent capable of
forming almost 200 different
cell types in the adult body”
Pluripotent SC:
capable of generating
all tissue types
Multipotent SC: more restricted
than embryonic SC; eventually
become “lineage committed”
11. How these cells respond to other factors
Autocrine:
Cells have receptors for their own
secreted factors (liver regeneration)
Paracrine:
cells respond to secretion of nearby
cells (healing wounds)
Endocrine:
cells respond to factors (hormones)
produced by distant cells
12. Connective link
Polypeptide growth factors
Autocrine Paracrine Endocrine
Growth factors bind
to specific receptors
on target cells
Stimulate transcription
of genes that were
previously silent: protein synthesis
Activate genes that regulate
entry of cells into and through
the cell cycle: proliferation
Effects on
same cell
Effects on cells nearby Effects in other
organs
13. Growth Factors & Effects
Symbol (Factor) Effects
EGF
(epidermal growth factor)
Mitogenic for keratinocytes and fibroblasts, stimulates
keratinocyte migration and granulation tissue formation
PDGF
(platelet-derived growth
factor)
Chemotaxis and activation of neutrophils, macrophages,
fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells; mitogenic for
fibroblasts, endothelial, smooth muscle cells. Stimulates
angiogenesis, wound contraction, matrix degradation
FGF
(fibroblast growth factor)
Family of >10 factors with many effects: macrophage,
fibroblast, and endothelial migration (wound repair),
mitogenic for fibroblasts and kertinocytes; stimulates
angiogenesis, wound contraction, matrix deposition
VEGF (vascular endothelial
growth factor)
Family of factors stimulating vasculogenesis (in embryo),
angiogenesis (in repair); increase vessel permeability
TGF-b
(transforming growth
factor-beta)
Pleiotropic (diverse effects according to tissue and injury):
chemotactic for WBCs, fibroblasts, myocytes; normally
inhibits epithelial proliferation but potent stimulator of
fibroplasia and angiogenesis
HGF
(hepatocyte growth
factor/scatter factor)
Mitogenic for hepatocytes, epithelial cells, endothelial cells;
increases cell motility and promotes cell scattering in
embryogenesis
14. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
• Secreted by platelet macrophages, & myofibroblast
• Having 4 families, PDGF (A,B,C,D)
• During embryogenesis playing a role in organogenesis i.e. CNS,
lung, gonad, gut & kidney
• Pericyte coverage of blood vessel circulation in CNS, skin, lung &
heart
• Facilitate migration and proliferation of myofibroblast
• Undetectable in normal condition, only in disease condition they
release
• Play major role in lung ,heart and skin fibrosis
15. T (Transforming) GF-beta
• Made in platelets, endothelial cells, lymphocytes & macrophages
• TGFB is a master switch of fibrosis, it is a profibrotic protein.
• Stimulate fibroblast to myofibroblast by SMA phenotypic
expression
• EMT ( Endothelial mesenchymal transition) is also TGF mediated
• Fibrogenic, stimulate fibroblast & enhance production of collagen
• It inhibits ECM degradation by releasing TIMP
• Anti-Inflammatory, enhance immune function

18. Signal Transduction Pathways
• Systems which detect extracellular signals through binding of
ligands to specific receptors, initiating an intracellular cascade of
events that change gene expression, thus generating a cellular
response.
• Pathways usually involve sequential activation of protein kinases
• Important signal transduction pathways regulating cell growth:
– Mitogen Activated Protein-kinase (MAP-kinase)
– Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase)
– Inositol-triphosphate (IP3)
– Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)
– JAK/STAT (Janus Kinase/Signal Transducers and Activators of
Transcription)
19. Signal Transduction Systems that Require Surface Receptors
Chemokines, histamine, serotonin, hormones, many drugs
Steroid hormone
receptors: in nucleus
20. Fibroblast to Myofibroblast
• Granulation tissue, which allows the replacement of the injured tissue, is
mainly due to fibroblast proliferation, angiogenesis & ECM deposition.
Fibroblasts acquire smooth muscle (SM) features characterizing the
myofibroblast which is TGF-β induced
• Myofibroblasts are also responsible for the synthesis of enzymes involved
in matrix degradation.
21. The Extracellular Matrix
• ECM is a non-cellular component present in all tissue provide
physical scaffolding and maintain homeostasis at wound healing.
• Excess and uncontrolled remodeling of ECM leads to fibrosis (45%
world death)
• ECM is a interlocking mesh of sugar & protein
• Synthesized by: Fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells,
adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteocytes
• Major components
(1)Fibrous structural proteins: Strength and recoil
(collagen & elastin)
(2) Adhesive glycoproteins: Connect cells & matrix
(fibronectin, laminin, integrin)
(3) Gel proteins: Lubrication
(GAGS, proteoglycans, hyaluronan)
22. Collagens
Collagen is essential protein for the structural integrity of tissues and
organs. Excess collagen deposition leads to fibrosis.
23. The collagens
• They are secreted by connective tissue cells, as well
as by a variety of other cell types
• Collagens are extremely rich in proline and glycine
• It is composed mainly of glycine (33%), proline
(13%), 4-hydroxyproline (9%)
• Proline stabilizes the helical conformation in each a
chain
• Glycine allows the three helical a chains to pack
tightly together to form the final collagen superhelix
• Part of the toughness of collagen is accounted by the
cross-linking of chains via lysine residues
24. Collagen cross linking
• Collagen cross-linking maintained in regulated & unregulated
way by 2 mechanism
– Enzymatically via LOX (lysyl oxidase) activity is essential in
development & wound healing.
– LOX knock out mice died due to fragile diaphragm and CVS
– Non- enzymatically through glycosylation & transglutamination or as
a result of increase biglycan and proteoglycan
25. Elsastin
• The elastin protein is composed largely of two types of short segments
– hydrophobic segments, which are responsible for the elastic properties
of the molecule
– alanine- and lysine-rich a-helical segments, which form cross-links
between adjacent molecules
• Elastic fibers are abundant in organs requiring stretch & recoil: skin, lung,
uterus, aorta, ligaments
• Elastin fibers are damaged by aging and sun exposure
• Resistant to most of the proteolytic enzyme.
26. Adhesion molecules :Fibronectin
• FN fibrils provide a dynamic environment for cells & attach both to the cell
and ECM component
• FN secreted as dimer & activation induced by integrin binding
• Integrin recognition requires Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) cell-binding sequence at
FN
• Produced by fibroblasts, endothelial cells, & monocytes
27. Laminin: Principal matrix gylcoprotein of basement
membrane
• Laminin: glycoprotein in basement membrane; polymerizes with collagen
IV
• Cross linked formed by 3 related subfamily α, β, γ as heterotimer
• Laminin molecules self-assemble into two-dimensional sheets that
associate with type IV collagen sheets and other basement membrane
proteins
• Normal epidermal function and re-epithelialization of wounds.
Laminin
GAGS
Entactin
28. Integrins : Attaches the cell to ECM
• Transmembrane receptors, connecting cells to ECM proteins
• Made up of α & β subunit, capable to make 24 combination
• RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp ) site serve as attachment site for integrin
mediated cell adhesion
• This bidirectional signaling responsible for assembly & disassembly of
other molecules
• Integrins can activate several signalling pathways independently but
more frequently they act synergistically with GF receptors
Ligands: fibronectin & laminin
29. Proteoglycans: Organize the ECM
• Fill the extracellular interstitial space within tissue (hydrated
gel) which gives ability to tissue to resist compression forces
• Its conc. ↑es in inflammation.
• Proteoglycans composed of GAGS ( glycosaminoglycans
chains) linked to core protein
• GAG are of 2 type, binds to receptors that regulate
proliferation & migration
– Sulfated ( Heparin, chondrotin & keratin)
– Non sulfated (hyaluronic acid)
Free FGF
30. ECM degrading enzymes
• Serine & theronine proteases
– Heperanase
– Cathepsin
– Hyaluronidase
– Matriptase
• Large super family i.e. Metzincins
– ADAMs (A disintegrin & metalloproteases)
– ADAMTs (ADAMs with thrombospondin motifs))
– MMPs & TIMPs ( Matrix metalloproteases & tissue
inhibitor of MMPs)
31. MMPs: Degradation of ECM
• MMPs are Zn endopeptidase , zymogens called pro-MMPs, activation
requires Integrin to affect multiple signaling. MMP family include 25
members
• MMP capable of digesting ECM & control migration, proliferation &
apoptosis
• The proteolytic activity of MMPs is regulated by TIMPs
• The balanced b/w MMPs TIMPs is critical for ECM degradation
remodeling Fibroblast
32.
33. ECM Sustains the Repair Process
• Three types of ECM contribute to the organization, physical properties, and
function of tissue:
• Basement membrane ( Maintain apicobasal polatity of cell)
• Including collagen IV, laminin, entactin, nidogen, and perlecan, a
heparan sulfate proteoglycan.
• Act as filters, cellular anchors, and a surface for migrating epidermal
cells after injury & also determine cell shape & morphogenesis
• Repository of growth factor chemotactic peptides
• Provisional matrix
• Include fibrinogen, fibronectin, and vitronectin.
• Serve to stop blood or fluid loss & support of migration of monocyte
and fibroblast toward wound site
• Connective tissue (interstitial matrix or stromal matrix)
• Formed from fibrillar collagens type I , elastin, fibrillin, GAGs,
proteoglycan and fibronectin
• Provides tensile strength to the tissue
36. Fibrosis
Interstitial Fibrosis

37. How to maintain ECM integrity
Controlled by specific composition & conc. of matrix and post translational
modification i.e. glycosylation, transglutamination & cross linking
• Composition & conc. of matrix affect cell behavior
• Cross linking of collagen affect mechanical function via 2 ways
1. Regulated Enzymatically via LOX (lysyl oxidase) activity
2. Non- enzymatically through glycosylation & transglutamination
38. Regulated Enzymatically cross-linking of
Collagen via LOX activity
• LOX family member
catalyzes the cross-linking
of collagen
through deamidation of
lysine residues
• ↑ LOX activity causes
ECM stiffness
• Marker of many tumors
39. Non- enzymatically collagen cross-linking
• Through glycosylation & transglutamination or as a result of ↑
biglycans and proteoglycans
• ↑ GAGS leads to stiffen the ECM , Age related disease, degenerative
eye, pulmonary fibrosis, arterial stiffening
• ↑ Tissue stiffness is specific and cue for tissue dysfunction &
tumorogenesis
40. Maintenance of ECM organization & orientation
• Maintained by balance
between deposition &
degradation of component
• Tightly controlled ECM
homeostasis sensitive to
altered protease level
• MMP regulate not only ECM
turn over but also signalling
pathway controlling cell
growth, inflammation &
angiogenesis. ↑ level of
MMPs leads to replacement of
normal ECM by tumor
derived ECM.
41. How to maintain cell- ECM interaction
• How micro-environmental changes influence the cellular response
• BM provide orientation to cell which affect cell behavior
• Loss of apicobasal polarity of BM causes BM disruption considered to be a
driver of tumorogenesis
• ↑ in collagen leads stiffness of ECM promotes focal adhesion
42. ECM : Local Depot
• For the perfect wound recovery & to avoid
fibrosis, ECM should be
– Meticulously structured,
– Mechanically functional
– Precise organization & orientation
– Cell –ECM interaction (Cellular response)
– Maintained homeostasis of ECM component
43. Maintained ECM remodeling is important to avoid Fibrosis
Mechanically signalling
:matrix elasticity: Intrinsic
elasticity ( Stiffness)
regulate cell function and
modulate cell response to
micro-environmant
Mechanically signalling:
ECM sequester
Growth factor
Matricelluler signalling:
Signals through Adhesive
molecule ( collegen, elastin,
Integrins & GAGS)
ECM interaction
signalling: ECM transmit
external forces to the cell
(Cell –
44. Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs)
• PSCs are 4% cell of total pancreatic cell
population
• Vit A containing lipid droplets
• On activation lost vitamin A
– Function as maintained matrix turn over
– Protective immune function as phagocytic cell
– Work as progenitor cell (in acute injury secrte
insulin after differentiation)
– CCK (Cholecystokinin ) induced pancreatic
exocrine function
46. •Cancer cell induced PSCs
•PSCs stimulate cancer cell proliferation increased survival of cancer
cell by inhibiting apoptosis
•ERK 1/2 is the common signalling pathway regulating cancer cell
induced PSC proliferation
Editor's Notes
This particular GF looks like it has many inhibitory functions, rather than stimulatory ones, i.e., control!
Might you think of TGF-beta as having many opposite effects of TGF-alpha? Yes!
