This document discusses three main topics: 1) Pericytes, not glial cells, are the primary cell type that forms scar tissue after spinal cord injuries. In the absence of pericytes, lesions do not scar over properly. 2) Increased rigidity of cancer cells activates proteins associated with cancer growth and metastasis. Applying mechanical forces to cells mimics this effect. 3) Discovering the role of pericytes and cell rigidity may help scientists develop new treatments for spinal cord injuries and cancer respectively.

The document evaluates stabilization failure in the thoracolumbar spine. It analyzes 93 patients who underwent spinal stabilization surgery. 9 patients (8.37%) experienced implant failure, mostly screw breakage. Failure was likely due to inadequate bone grafting, poor surgical technique, use of undersized screws, low-quality implants, and inadequate rest after surgery. To prevent failure, the study recommends limiting stabilization to appropriate cases, improving surgical methods, using adequate bone grafts, proper implant selection, and considering spinal biomechanics.
Stem Cells: A Dynamic Landscape
Cellular and gene therapies are now on the cusp of realizing the early promise of treating, and perhaps curing diseases that previously had little or no available therapeutic options. However, the journey from the laboratory to the clinic has been bumpy, with a history of disappointments, especially in the early 1990's where gene therapy had received much hype and publicity.
Ebs schwannomatosis
There is no evidence of an association between schwannomatosis and multiple sclerosis based on a literature search. While some case reports have proposed a link between neurofibromatosis type 1 and multiple sclerosis, the evidence is limited. No previous cases of patients having both schwannomatosis and multiple sclerosis have been described.

Sydney scientists have achieved stunning survival rates in dogs with late stage brain tumors using a "trojan horse" therapy involving bacterially derived nanocells that target and kill tumor cells. The therapy has also shown near complete elimination of cancer in a male mesothelioma patient. Results to be published this week show the reversal of adverse brain tumor symptoms in dogs, with tumors disappearing in four dogs. The biotech company's therapy can destroy drug-resistant tumor cells, boosting patients' immune systems and allowing some patients to survive two years or longer compared to a normal expectancy of four months.
Primary Bone Tumour of the Spine
Primary bone tumors of the spine are rare, accounting for only 4.2% of spinal tumors. This study summarizes the experience of treating 18 cases of primary bone tumors of the spine over 10 years at two hospitals in Bangladesh. The most common tumors were malignant (61%), with the dorsal and lumbar spine being most commonly involved. Pain was the primary presenting symptom in most cases. Surgical treatment with the aim of complete resection when possible combined with preservation of neurological function and spinal stabilization was performed. Adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation were also used. Outcomes were improved pain and function, though malignant tumors often had poorer outcomes and higher mortality. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment were concluded to be important for managing these rare tumors
Neuopathology CME
This document discusses principles of surgical approaches to central nervous system (CNS) lesions. It covers brain and spine lesions and various surgical techniques. For the brain, it describes common lesion types and goals of surgery. It then explains different surgical approaches like craniotomy, craniectomy, endoscopy, and stereotactic procedures. For the spine, it outlines common lesion locations and types of tumors. It also discusses posterior and anterior surgical approaches to access different spinal regions. The document provides examples of various patients who underwent these procedures.
Neurosurgery - Evidence Based Surgery
Radiation-induced meningiomas (RIM) are more likely to be multiple and recur compared to spontaneous meningiomas. The studies reviewed found that 18% of RIM cases were multiple and 23% recurred, compared to lower rates for spontaneous meningiomas. While the studies could not definitively conclude RIM are more likely to be higher grade, the majority were found to be WHO grade 1 or 2. Long-term surveillance is recommended for individuals who received cranial radiation, such as childhood cancer survivors, due to the increased risk of developing RIM. Further research is needed to better understand RIM characteristics and natural history.
medulloblastoma
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor, arising from the cerebellum. Diagnosis involves MRI of the brain and spine, with tumors appearing mildly hypointense on T1-weighted imaging and mildly hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging, often with patchy contrast enhancement. Treatment involves maximal surgical resection followed by craniospinal irradiation and chemotherapy, with doses stratified based on risk factors like age and extent of resection. Long-term side effects of radiation therapy can include neurocognitive deficits, endocrine abnormalities, growth issues, and second cancers. Recurrence most often occurs in the posterior fossa or spine within two years and is managed with further surgery, radiation or chemotherapy depending on extent

Advances and Problems in Preclinical Models for Childhood Cancer
Microblogging today has gotten an acclaimed specific instrument among Neuroblastoma is a sympathetic nervous system disease in children and is the most prevalent solid tumor in childhood, accounting for 15 of all pediatric oncology deaths. Nearly 80 of patients with this clinically active condition do not react to current treatments in the long run. The precise portrayal of tumor biology and diversity is the key obstacle in the discovery and evaluation of novel agents for pediatric drug growth. In addition to this restriction, the low prevalence of neuroblastoma renders it difficult to enroll qualifying patients for early phase clinical trials, emphasizing the importance of thorough preclinical studies to ensure that the right drugs are chosen. To address these issues, researchers need new preclinical models, technologies, and principles. Tissue engineering provides appealing methods for developing three dimensional 3D cell models utilizing different biomaterials and manufacturing techniques that replicate the geometry, dynamics, heterogeneity, metabolic gradients, and cell connectivity of the native tumor microenvironment. We address existing laboratory models and evaluate their ability to reflect the systemic organization and physiological conditions of the human body, as well as current and emerging strategies to recapitulate the tumor niche utilizing tissue engineered platforms in this study. Finally, well talk about how innovative 3Din vitroculture systems might be used to answer unanswered questions in neuroblastoma biology. V.

1) The document examines using infrared spectroscopy for rapid intra-operative analysis of human brain tumor tissue to help delineate tumor borders during neurosurgery. Spectra were obtained from excised tissue within minutes after removal and matched with histopathological diagnoses.
2) Preliminary results found differences between tumor and non-tumor tissues may arise from higher RNA levels in freshly excised tumor tissue, which degrades quickly. Additional infrared studies were done on tumor cell lines, mouse brain tissue, and yeast RNA to help interpret the spectral differences.
3) The work highlights the need to acquire infrared spectra within ten minutes of removal and demonstrates the potential of infrared spectroscopy for fast, chemically-based analysis to help guide surgery.
Biology m(1)
The document discusses two studies on the causes of cancer at the chromosomal and DNA level. The first study found that dramatic structural changes to chromosomes could not be explained by standard models of DNA damage and were a major cause of cancer proliferation. The second study discovered the overexpression of repetitive satellite DNA sequences in common tumor cells that are normally found in heterochromatin and centromeres. Understanding the molecular causes of diseases like cancer will enable early diagnosis, new therapeutic targets, and improved treatment strategies.

The document then discusses how three-dimensional culture techniques have enabled the real-time study of mammalian tissues by allowing independent manipulation of genetic and microenvironmental factors. Examples are provided of different cellular inputs used in 3D cultures as well as different culture formats. The roles of 3D cultures in advancing cancer therapeutics through predictive and prognostic testing of preclinical treatments are also summarized.
Plegable%20bio%20mol
The document discusses several animal models used to study various aspects of cellular and molecular biology, including their applications to human health. Drosophila melanogaster is used to study the molecular causes and potential treatment of cardiac dysfunction in myotonic dystrophy. Researchers were able to reproduce symptoms of the disease in fruit flies and found that the drug pentamidine improved arrhythmias and contractility issues. Xenopus laevis is discussed as a model to better understand nerve tissue regeneration and neurogenesis through the study of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in stem cells of the olfactory epithelium. Various cellular models allow researchers to overcome the complexity of humans and apply findings to therapy.
Chromosomes and Chromatin
The document discusses two recent discoveries related to genetics and disease. Researchers discovered a mechanism of gene silencing in hormone-dependent breast cancer cells involving a protein that interacts with the progesterone receptor and compacts chromatin. Scientists also discovered an X-chromosome inherited form of brittle bone disease osteogenesis imperfecta caused by two mutations in the MBTPS2 gene on the X chromosome, making men more vulnerable. These findings provide insights that can help improve diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.

The document discusses two recent scientific discoveries:
1) Researchers at the University of Edinburgh discovered a protein complex called Ska that helps stabilize cell division and the distribution of genetic material between daughter cells. Disruptions to this process could lead to cancer, offering new insights into cancer development.
2) A team at the University of California, Davis found that new genes can arise from ancestral non-coding DNA sequences, which is occurring at a high rate across animals and plants. Random mutations can cause non-coding DNA to be transcribed, forming new genes over time through selection. Understanding how genomes change could inform future therapies.
The Opposing Viewpoint of Stem CellStem cell research explores t.docx
The Opposing Viewpoint of Stem Cell
Stem cell research explores the nature and growth capabilities of cells essential for ensuring replacement of cells in living organisms (Paddock, 2017). Such cells have an advantage of being manipulated to any type of cells as it is deemed necessary by the scientists based on scarcity or slow rejuvenation process of the natural cells. The general public has largely adopted a reserved approach to stem cell research and therapy despite the positive research and development showcased by leading scientists including;
· Jun Takahashi: he explored the safety and applicability of stem cell therapy in primates in relations to the Parkinson’s disease, recording a major success between the interaction of human cells and animals (Sandoiu). Furthermore, no long-term negative effect was established from the treatment that saw full recovery of the primates.
· Hai Nguyen, Aileen Anderson and colleagues: carried a similar exercise on injured mice to record tremendous success of the donor cells in a period ranging immediately after the induction process to at most one month (Society for Neuroscience. 2017).
· Scientists from the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles CA: highlighted the need for stem therapy in replacing aging heart muscles using rats (Paddock, 2017). The induced cells were able to grow and multiply thus repair the heart muscles of the older rats to improve the general body functioning.
Despite the breathtaking discoveries as tested and presented by these scientists, ethical concerns have prevailed to the dismay of an excited global scientists’ fraternity. The general public is cautious in its approach to stem cell therapy from various reasons ranging from the potential to cause cancer to how the media overrates the treatment process that still has critical gaps to full implementation (Begley, 2017). There are two major concerns that arise from the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute research as reported by Paddock. The first concern as perceived by the layman defined as the general public is the fact the findings are based on animals other than human beings. This experiment was purely run on rodent tissue thus raising a legitimate query as to the consistency if replicated in humans. The second concern arises from Paddocks admission that the scientists proposed the need for further research to determine whether the findings are only valid when the donors are young (2017).
Since the same article admits the fact modern day medicine has seen prolonged life with a possibility of the elderly to exceed the children population, such a dependency on young donors may endanger the human species in the long run.
The excitement surrounding Stem Cell Research is magnified through mainstream media that often cares about moving volumes in sales rather than realistically highlight the caution or reservations pronounced by scientists. However, Sharon Begley is exemplary in her revelation of a high-risk gap in research that li ...
Stem Cell ResearchStem cells are cells that can grow and differe.docx
Stem Cell Research
Stem cells are cells that can grow and differentiate into other types of cells. These cells have great potential for the treatment of various disorders such as cancer or Parkinson’s disease where the body cannot regenerate healthy cells to cure the disease. Stem cell research has been going on for a long time, and there have been great breakthroughs in the research. One such breakthrough has been the use of stem cells in the rejuvenation of neural cells of monkeys suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Scientists have used induced pluripotent cells to form some types of brain cells that have been damaged by the disease. Parkinson’s disease is caused by the degeneration of specific brain cells that control motor functions and mood. Researchers have previously been able to restore motor functions in rats that have shown characteristic symptoms of Parkinson’s disease by using dopamine neurotransmitters grown from human induced pluripotent cells. In spite of this, there has not been any investigation on the long-term effects of the use of this practice on the primates.
Researchers from California have demonstrated that injecting stem cells taken from the hearts of newborn rats into older rats improved the latter’s cardiovascular function and capacity.
A study done by Jun Takahashi was done to evaluate the safety and applicability of the practice in primates. Human induced pluripotent cells were used to generate dopamine neurons which were transplanted into primates that had been induced to have the Parkinson’s disease. The primates showed increasing spontaneous increase in the motor cells after transplantation and complete functioning in the midbrain. There was no long-term effect of the cells on the primates after two years since no brain tumors were observed (Sandoiu, 2017). This information is critical as it has opened a gateway to the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The study shows that once more research is done this could be a method to treat people suffering from the disease and will help to relieve human suffering. The study has unlocked one of the many possibilities of the use of stem cell research and will, therefore, earn it more favor and support from the public.
Human neural stem cells are derived via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) from donated fetal brain tissue.
A study was done on mice by Hai Nguyen, Aileen Anderson and colleagues found that mice receiving stem cells grown from human brain tissue required the depletion of some types of immune cells to improve the motor skills of the mice. The donor cells survived equally when transplanted either immediately or after a month after the injury. Their location however continuously changed and this suggested that the cells were populating the spinal cord at different times after the injury and it affected the ability of the transplants to provide functional recovery of the motor skills (Society for Neuroscience. 2017). This means that the stem cells could .

The document discusses recent discoveries about cell division and chromosomes that could help understand disorders like cancer. Researchers discovered the Ska complex of proteins that stabilize cell division by anchoring DNA to cell strands during division. Mistakes in this process can cause cancer. Scientists also used normal chromosomes to replace defective ring chromosomes in skin cells, correcting genetic disorders. Understanding these processes may enable new treatments for cancer and genetic disorders by controlling cell division and repairing chromosome defects.
Argumentative essay power point
Stem cell research offers potential benefits for treating diseases like cancer, neurological disorders, and skin damage. It may provide cures through cell replacement and regeneration of tissues. However, some argue that using embryonic stem cells is unethical as it involves destroying embryos. While opponents see no moral issue as embryos are just clusters of cells at early stages. Overall stem cell research promises progress but also debates around its application that require ethical guidelines.
Plegable molecular
The document discusses two scientific studies. The first study found that a specific stage in the cell cycle (G1 phase) being altered can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer development when telomeres are shortened. The second study discovered that after a heart attack in zebrafish, muscle cells from the undamaged atrium migrated into the damaged ventricle and transformed into ventricular cells, helping regenerate the heart tissue and restore cardiac function.
Molecular biology
The document summarizes several studies on DNA replication and the molecular machinery involved. It describes how researchers used tools like molecular biology and biochemistry to slow down and "freeze" the replication process at intermediate steps. This allowed them to observe conformational changes in proteins like the origin recognition complex (ORC) as it recruits the helicase enzyme to unwind DNA. Cryo-electron microscopy was then used to capture 3D structures of the protein components and reveal how they interact during replication initiation. The studies provide new insights into this critical cellular process.
Folding
This document summarizes two scientific articles. The first article discusses how the condensin protein folds chromosome arms during cell division in yeast, helping prevent errors. The second article discusses how scientists identified molecular mechanisms behind DNA breakage, a hallmark of cancer cells, finding some DNA regions are more susceptible to damage and cancer results when repair mechanisms fail. The document discusses potential medical applications, like developing new treatments that target these molecules to help prevent genetic disorders and cancers.
Presentacion molecular
The document discusses advances in stem cell research and transplantation. It summarizes a study where stem cells were injected into mice with ALS, which improved their motor functions by 15%. The transplant of stem cells may be a future treatment for ALS and other diseases like heart failure and cancer. The document also discusses how hematopoietic stem cells are regulated in the body and protection of cells by selectin E, which could help treat cytopenia and damage from medical treatments or the environment.

The central-dogma-oh-genetic-information
The central dogma of genetics describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins. Two articles discuss cancer-causing mechanisms related to this dogma. One found that the enzyme APOBEC3G can induce mutations during DNA replication that lead to cancer. The other identified that cancer cells rely on the protein SMARCAL1 to resolve replication stress and maintain telomere length through the ALT pathway. Further research is needed to identify targets of these carcinogenic processes to develop new treatment strategies.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
