Key developments in the research on reproductive endocrinologyEFSA EU
This document summarizes key developments in research on reproductive endocrinology. It discusses how reproductive hormones regulate development and influence health risks. Males and females have different fat deposition and disease risks due to evolutionary reproductive roles. Disorders like cryptorchidism and low sperm counts are surprisingly common. Evidence suggests fetal exposure to hormones and nutrition can impact adult health and even grandchildren's health via epigenetic changes. Reproduction allows offspring to potentially adapt to environments, though current Western diets may impair this process.
Epigenetics refers to modifications in gene expression that are not caused by changes to the underlying DNA sequence. These modifications can be influenced by environmental factors and experiences. The document discusses the history of epigenetics and provides examples of how early life experiences like nutrition, stress, and maternal care can lead to epigenetic changes that affect gene expression and influence health outcomes across generations. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, and stress management can help promote positive epigenetic changes.

Genetic screening and gene therapy can detect and treat genetic disorders. Genetic screening techniques like carrier screening, newborn screening, and prenatal diagnosis identify genetic risks. Gene therapy aims to treat diseases by replacing faulty genes, such as inserting functional genes into somatic cells. While promising, gene therapy faces challenges like safety concerns over viral vectors and ensuring proper expression of inserted genes. Genetic counseling educates patients on genetic risks and testing options.
This document discusses Endobiogeny, a systems biology approach that views the human body as a complex system. It emphasizes that living systems are organized in a hierarchical manner with different levels consisting of subsystems. Endobiogeny uses a holistic approach and biomarkers to evaluate the manager of the system, which is the endocrine system. Biomarkers provide objective data but must be interpreted qualitatively within a systems framework using ratios that reveal relationships between components. The document outlines how various biomarkers relate to different aspects of the neuroendocrine system and provides examples of direct and indirect ratios that can be used in Endobiogeny's systems-based approach.
New Approach to Protecting Prion from Altering and 'Cowcatcher' Enzyme Fixes ...oscarandresparra
Researchers made two discoveries about proteins involved in DNA replication and prion diseases:
1) Scientists at UTMB found that the protein NEIL1 acts as a "cowcatcher" by scanning DNA for errors ahead of the replication machinery and signaling it to stop so repairs can be made. This revealed NEIL1's previously unknown role in replication error correction.
2) Researchers at Case Western modified a prion protein to stabilize its normal shape and prevent conversion to the abnormal form that causes diseases. Mice with this variant were resistant to prion infection, demonstrating this approach could block prion disease progression.
These studies provide new insights into DNA repair mechanisms and potential treatments for prion diseases.
Gene therapy involves inserting a normal gene to replace an abnormal gene that causes disease. It can result in permanent changes and potentially cure genetic diseases. However, there are also risks like unintended effects on other genes or the virus used for delivery posing safety issues. While promising for certain diseases, challenges remain in delivering the new gene and regulating its expression.
Genetics deals with heredity and the transmission of inherited traits. Recent advances in genetics have impacted nursing practice in several ways. Nurses now play roles in identifying genetic disorders, supporting patients, referring patients for genetic counseling, and caring for those with genetic conditions. The practical applications of genetics in nursing include understanding the genetic basis of diseases, early diagnosis of genetic disorders, preventing genetic conditions, managing genetic disorders, providing genetic counseling and information services, and addressing the ethical issues surrounding genetics. Genetics affects patients and families in psychological, social, financial, cultural, and spiritual ways.
Prevention of lysosomal storage diseases and derivation of2Palaelo
This study evaluated the use of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to prevent the transmission of four lysosomal storage disorders (TSD, GD, FD, HS) in couples at risk. PGD was performed on 28 embryos from 8 couples, identifying 2 embryos with mutations for Hunter syndrome and GD. These embryos were used to derive 2 human embryonic stem cell lines expressing markers of an undifferentiated state. PGD accurately diagnosed mutations in embryos and allowed derivation of disease-specific stem cell lines, demonstrating the potential of PGD to avoid inherited diseases while generating disease models.
Genetic screening uses techniques like karyotyping, amniocentesis, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis to detect abnormalities or predict diseases. Karyotyping examines chromosomes for changes in number or structure. Amniocentesis analyzes amniotic fluid to detect fetal abnormalities, while chorionic villus sampling analyzes placental tissue. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis screens embryos before implantation. Genetic screening can prevent birth of babies with diseases but also raises issues like determining which genes to screen and the economic and social impact of results.

1) The mechanism of action of Body Waves involves biological systems resonating with bio-physical information and regulating processes through reciprocal interaction.
2) Analogous to Weismann's Barrier Theory in agriculture, it is proposed that cell receptors can help transmit this information by getting into resonance with electron transport systems in the cell.
3) Regulation diseases as described by Jurgen Schole involve classifying diseases based on their etiology and pathogenesis into homologous, heterologous, or cascading patterns to better understand imbalances at different levels (psyche, metabolism, matter) that manifest as disease.
Biology and medicine have a close relationship where biology serves as an important tool for medicine. Studies on cellular metabolism and the role of proteins in cell division have helped further our understanding of diseases from the beginning. Research on a single protein that controls genetic networks essential for sperm development found that without this protein, sperm development is abnormal. A separate study on mitochondrial diseases found they are becoming more frequent and costly to healthcare systems, highlighting the need for improved prevention and treatment strategies. Advances in understanding basic biological mechanisms allow for more effective diagnosis and management of illnesses.
Oncogenes, proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor geneVaishnaviJanjal
An oncogene is a mutated gene that has the potential to cause cancer. Before an oncogene becomes mutated, it is called a proto-oncogene, and it plays a role in regulating normal cell division. Cancer can arise when a proto-oncogene is mutated, changing it into an oncogene and causing the cell to divide and multiply uncontrollably. Some oncogenes work like an accelerator pedal in a car, pushing a cell to divide again and again. Others work like a faulty brake in a car parked on a hill, also causing the cell to divide unchecked.
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that slow down cell division or tell cells to die at the right time (a process known
as apoptosis or programmed cell death). When tumor suppressor genes don't work properly, cells can grow out of control, which can lead to cancer.
The document discusses recent advances in understanding DNA regulation and replication. A key finding was the discovery of an enzyme thought to reside only in mitochondria, but is also found in the nucleus and may be involved in epigenetic regulation of DNA. Additionally, researchers created the first model of the eukaryotic DNA replication fork using yeast enzymes. This model allows study of the replication process and its regulation in fine detail. These discoveries provide insights into normal biological functions and disease states, aiding medical research and potential new treatments.
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.
- A study found that endogenous retroviruses, which make up 8-10% of our genome, may play an important role in gene expression and development in the brain. Retroviruses can affect gene expression through a protein called TRIM28. Understanding this could provide insight into genetic brain diseases.
- A separate study discovered that proteins involved in lipid and membrane formation are synthesized more efficiently during cell division. Identifying the proteins and processes involved in cell division could lead to new ways of controlling cell division and potentially treating diseases like cancer.
The document discusses two scientific findings: 1) Researchers found that the protein plasminogen stimulates the replication of prion proteins, which could lead to new treatments for prion diseases like mad cow disease. 2) A study showed that horizontal gene transfer, rather than gene duplication, is the primary driver of gene family expansion in bacteria, allowing them to rapidly adapt and gain antibiotic resistance. This has major implications for the spread of drug-resistant superbugs.
The document discusses the importance of DNA replication for life and medicine. DNA replication is essential for cell division and is targeted by chemotherapy drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells. Understanding DNA replication better through research could help develop preventative treatments for diseases and improve medical knowledge.
1. Amenorrhea, or the absence of menstrual periods, can be either primary or secondary. Primary amenorrhea refers to the lack of menses by age 15, while secondary amenorrhea is the absence of periods for 3 months after menarche.
2. A thorough history and physical exam is important to evaluate the potential causes of amenorrhea, which can include pregnancy, eating disorders, medical conditions, or anatomical abnormalities.
3. Laboratory tests and imaging may be needed to diagnose endocrine disorders, such as hypothalamic, pituitary, ovarian, or thyroid issues, which can cause amenorrhea. Genetic testing may be considered if Turner syndrome is suspected.
This document discusses the ethical implications that arise from recent developments in molecular medicine, specifically genome sequencing and induced pluripotent stem cells. It outlines two competing paradigms of genetics - genetic determinism vs seeing phenotypes as resulting from genetic and epigenetic networks. The document argues that understanding human development as a complex, dynamic process rather than a genetic program has divergent ethical implications. It claims bioethics must engage in dialogue with science and critically analyze how new understandings of genetics shape perceptions of human life, health, disease, and the goals of medicine.

lower portion of the esophagus.
More men than women get
esophageal cancer.

7. Dysphagia and odynophagia are the
most common symptoms of
esophageal cancer. Dysphagia is the
first symptom in most patients.
Odynophagia may also be present.
Fluids and soft foods are usually
tolerated, while hard or bulky
substances (such as bread or meat)
cause much more difficulty.

8. p73 is a protein related to the p53
tumor protein, it has been considered
a tumor suppressor, also this gen It is
involved in cell cycle regulation, and
induction of apoptosis.
The p73 gene encodes a protein with
a significant sequence homology and
a functional similarity with the tumor
suppressor p53. The over-expression
of p73 in cultured cells promotes a
growth arrest and/or apoptosis
similarly to p53.

9. I consider that the development
of this techniques (use of the
p73) are a good advance for
the medicine and a new
opportunity for cure the cancer,
because this diseases it´s one
of the conditions that every day
kills millions of people across all
the world so, try to improve the
life of this persons it´s one of
the most important
achievements of our society
and the reason by every day be
better in all the things that we
do, we said, we think. Taken from:

11. • The menopause is formally
medically defined as the time of
the last menstrual period (or
menstrual flow of any amount,
however small).
• The transition from reproductive
to non-reproductive is the result
of a reduction in female hormonal
production by the ovaries.
• The menopause transition, and
postmenopause itself, is a natural Taken from: http://www.healblog.net/health-

life change, not a disease state or
a disorder.
12. The new loci contained
candidate genes involved in
DNA repair and immune
function. Pathway analyses
indicated that biological
processes associated with
these loci were
exodeoxyribonuclease, NFκB
signaling, and mitochondrial
dysfunction.

13. Menopause is based on the natural or
surgical cessation of estradiol and
progesterone production by the ovaries,
which are a part of the body's endocrine
system of hormone production, in this case
the hormones which make reproduction
possible and influence sexual behavior.
Common symptoms are:

Night Sweats

14. After reading this new, I recognize
the importance of the menopause
phenomenon like a biological
change in the woman that can
open the door to a body´s health
decrease, accelerating the aging
of the senses. In that way, a closer
study of loci focused in age of
menopause, will bring welfare for
the woman all over the world,
because this loci it´s related to
multiple diseases that are very
common and significant in the
females population and their
family.
