Name and explain the functions of the main organs that compose the lymphoid system. Identify the region or organ of the digestive system in which the pancreatic duct is found and describe its function. Describe the anatomy of the digestive system including the structures ...
Identify the term: A gland that is considered to be a part of the lymphatic system. Endocrine and lymphatic systems: The endocrine system consists of a collection of various body organs and glands that secrete hormones in the blood stream. The lymphatic system is an im...
Hormones are chemical messengers the body uses to relay information from one organ to another so they can work together to support optimal body function. But sometimes, these hormones can fall out of balance. Especially in times of stress or when dealing with an infection, a hormone called ...
We validated this hypothesis in a large-scale study of patients with 13 different autoimmune, allergic, infectious, malignant, endocrine, metabolic, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as a therapeutic study of the mouse arthritis model. Conclusions Overall, our results support that our strategy has...
Women who have a tumor that is an ultralow-risk tumor by 70-gene signature can be reassured that their long-term outcome is expected to be excellent, with or without endocrine therapy. In the tamoxifen-treated arm, most had only 2 years of therapy and still had excellent long-term ...
Mutations in the pseudohypoxic marker HIF-2α correlate to an aggressive tumor phenotype. We show that HIF-2α localized to the cytoplasm in PPGLs. This subcompartmentalized protein expression differed between tumor subtypes, and strongly correlated to proliferation. Half of all sPGLs were ...
Known and suspected environmental risk factors include organochlorine pesticides and other synthetic chemicals, hormonal factors (including exogenous endocrine disrupters), diet, tobacco and alcohol use, radiation, and magnetic fields. In at least 50% of breast carcinoma cases, none of the known risk ...
irAEs are broadly defined as instances of immune-mediated host organ dysfunction caused by abnormal immune system activity following immunotherapy [6]. In brief, immune checkpoint inhibitors activate the immune system, enhance the immune response, cause a large number of inflammatory cytokines to attack...
Identify the major cell types that are found in this lymphoid organ. Explain briefly the structure, function, and characteristics of the pericardium Describe and classify the structural and functional properties of exocrine and endocrine glands. What are the roles of the peritoneum? Describe...
These enteroendocrine cells (EECs, endocrine cells of the gut) are very rare cells that release hormones in response to various triggers, such as stretching of the stomach, energy levels and nutrients from food. These hormones in turn regulate key aspects of physiology in response to the incomin...
