Tail wags dog: primary cilia and tumorigenesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aberrant activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway contributes to many forms of cancer. Primary cilia are Hh signal transduction centers. Two papers in a recent issue of Nature Medicine (Han et al., 2009; Wong et al., 2009) show that mutating cilia can increase or reduce the rates of tumorigenesis depending on how the Hh pathway is disrupted.

The Tail that Wags the Dog
Tails are of paramount importance in shaping the risk profile of portfolios with credit risk sensitive securities. In this context risk management tools require simulations that accurately capture the tails, and optimization models that limit tail effects. Ignoring the tails in the simulation or using inadequate optimization metrics can have significant effects and destroy portfolio efficiency....
متن کاملWhen the tail can't wag the dog: the implications of CNS-intrinsic initiation of neuroinflammation
The CNS (central nervous system) is unquestionably the central organ that regulates directly or indirectly all physiological systems in the mammalian body. Yet, when considering the defence of the CNS from pathogens, the CNS has often been considered passive and subservient to the pro-inflammatory responses of the immune system. In this view, neuroinflammatory disorders are examples of when the...
متن کاملBeware the tail that wags the dog: informal and formal models in biology
Informal models have always been used in biology to guide thinking and devise experiments. In recent years, formal mathematical models have also been widely introduced. It is sometimes suggested that formal models are inherently superior to informal ones and that biology should develop along the lines of physics or economics by replacing the latter with the former. Here I suggest to the contrar...

متن کاملGrowls to Wags: Success Factors Regarding Food Care at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley
The Behavior Modification Program at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley addresses behavioral problems of dogs by using counter-conditioning, changing a stimulus from positive to negative, and desensitization, decreasing the emotional response to a stimulus, on a variety of behavioral issues. One of the most prevalent issues is food guarding and is addressed through the Food Care Protocol. The...
