Computational Cancer Biology: An Evolutionary Perspective
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and represents one of the biggest biomedical research challenges of our time. Tumor progression is caused by somatic evolution of cell populations. Cancer cells expand because of the accumulation of selectively advantageous mutations, and expanding clones give rise to new cell subpopulations with increasingly higher somatic fitness (Fig 1). In the 19...
متن کاملNatural Killer T Cells: An Ecological Evolutionary Developmental Biology Perspective
Type I natural killer T (NKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes that recognize glycolipid antigens presented by the MHC class I-like protein CD1d. Agonistic activation of NKT cells leads to rapid pro-inflammatory and immune modulatory cytokine and chemokine responses. This property of NKT cells, in conjunction with their interactions with antigen-presenting cells, controls downstream innate a...
متن کاملYawning: An Evolutionary Perspective
Evolutionary analyses of human behavior have illuminated a number of fundamental questions (i.e., foraging, mating systems, communication, etc.), and a wide array of behaviors have been targeted for investigation (infanticide, polygyny, child abuse, homicide, etc.). In general, investigation has centered on complex behaviors organized into broader functional units based on their context, or in ...
متن کاملPrions: an evolutionary perspective.
Studies in both prion-due diseases in mammals and some non-Mendelian hereditary processes in yeasts have demonstrated that certain proteins are able to transmit structural information and self-replication. This induces the corresponding conformational changes in other proteins with identical or similar sequences. This ability of proteins may have been very useful during prebiotic chemical evolu...
