  1. Neurotrophic factors

    Neurotrophic factors are a family of proteins that are responsible for the growth and survival of developing neurons and the maintenance of mature neurons. Recent research has proven that neurotrophic factors promote the initial growth and development of neurons in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system and that they are capable of regrowing damaged neurons in test tubes and animal models 1 . Neurotrophic factors are often released by the target tissue in order to guide the growth of developing axons. Most neurotrophic factors belong to one of three families 1 neurotrophins , 2 glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor family ligands GFLs , and 3 neuropoietic cytokines 1 . Each family has its own distinct signaling family though the cellular responses elicited often do overlap 1 . Currently, neurotrophic factors are being intensely studied for use in bioartificial nerve conduits because they are necessary in vivo for directing axon growth and regeneration. In studies, neurotrophic factors are normally used in conjunction with other techniques such as biological and physical cues created by the addition of cells and specific topographies. The neurotrophic factors may or may not be immobilized to the scaffold structure, though immobilization is preferred because it allows for the creation of permanent, controllable gradients. In some cases, such as neural drug delivery systems , they are loosely immobilized such that they can be selectively released at specified times and in specified amounts.

  1. Method of Factors

    The Method of Factors is a technique in cognitive behavioral therapy to organise a session of exposure therapy . Rather than generating a list of objects or situations in advance a static Exposure hierarchy hierarchy representing escalating levels of arousal and intensity of fear for a particular phobia , the Method of Factors involves identifying a fear provoking stimulus, then identifying those features of the stimulus that control the intensity of fear. The hierarchy then emerges in the course of the exposure session as the patient seeks to maintain a moderately high arousal. Because of this emergent nature, it is referred to as a Dynamic Hierarchy Recommended Reading Brady A, Raines D 2010 Dynamic hierarchies a control system paradigm for exposure therapy.

  1. Posthuman factors

    Posthuman Factors is a strategically pragmatic approach to design, operating as an intuitive extension of posthuman theory in action.

The field uses speculative approaches of design and design strategy, and is especially skeptical of humanist values, mores, and practices in design.

  1. Regulating factors

    In population ecology , a regulating factor is something that keeps a population at Punctuated equilibrium equilibrium neither increasing nor decreasing in size over time . An example of a regulating factor would be food supply . ref cite journal title The Significance of Limiting and Regulating Factors on the Demography of Moose and White Tailed Deer author Francois Messier journal The Journal of Animal Ecology volume 60 issue 2 month June year 1991 pages 377 393 doi 10.2307 5285 jstor 5285 ref If the population increases to a certain size, there will be less food for each organism. This will lead to fewer births a decrease in fecundity and more deaths , making a negative population growth rate growth rate . As there are now fewer animal s, the amount of food for each organism will increase, meaning the growth rate will become positive. This would lead to a large population size again, and the cycle would start over. Therefore, food is a regulating factor in this scenario, as food supply keeps the population at relative equilibrium. All regulating factors are density dependent, meaning they keep populations at equilibrium by counteracting fluctuations in population size. Other regulating factors of the human population at present are drinking water supply, amount of arable land obviously a more fundamental term for food , air pollution and prevalence of communicable disease. The major regulating factor for the human population in current times is inadequacy of safe drinking water , since waterborne disease is the principal environmental cause of mortality.

  1. Hypoxia activated prodrugs

    Hypoxia Activated Prodrugs, or HAPs, target regions of tumor hypoxia within tumor cells. HAPs may offer the potential, alone and in combination with conventional chemotherapy, of improving cancer therapy. It is believed that tumor hypoxia contributes significantly to treatment failure and relapse among cancer patients because cells in the hypoxic zones of solid tumors resist traditional chemotherapy for at least two reasons first, most antitumor agents cannot penetrate beyond 50 100 micrometers from capillaries, ref Drug penetration in solid tumors A. Minchinton and I. Tannock Nature Reviews Cancer 6 583 592, 2006. ref thereby never reaching those cells in the hypoxic regions. Secondly, the lower nutrient and oxygen supply to cells in the hypoxic zones of tumors cause them to divide more slowly than their well oxygenated counterparts, so hypoxic tumor cells exhibit greater resistance to chemotherapies and radiation which target rapidly dividing cells or require oxygen for efficacy. Hypoxia also contributes to the invasive and metastatic phenotypes of aggressive cancers by promoting genetic instability and accelerating the accumulation of mutations that can ultimately give rise to drug resistance. ref Hypoxia and adaptive landscapes in the evolution of carcinogenesis R.J. Gillies and R.A. Gatenby Cancer Metastiasis Rev. 26 1573, 2007. ref ref Hypoxia driven selection of the metastatic phenotype R. Sullivan and C.H.

This gene encodes a nitric oxide synthase which is expressed in liver and is inducible by a combination of lipopolysaccharide and certain cytokine s. Three related pseudogene s are located within the Smith Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17 . Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. ref cite web title Entrez Gene NOS2A nitric oxide synthase 2A inducible, hepatocytes url http www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov sites entrez?Db gene&Cmd ShowDetailView&TermToSearch 4843 accessdate ref Interactions Nitric oxide synthase 2A has been shown to Protein protein interaction interact with Caveolin 1 ref name pmid11114180 cite journal last Felley Bosco first E authorlink coauthors Bender F C, Courjault Gautier F, Bron C, Quest A F year 2000 month Dec. title Caveolin 1 down regulates inducible nitric oxide synthase via the proteasome pathway in human colon carcinoma cells journal PNAS Proc.

  1. Kruppel-like factors

    The Kr ppel like family of transcription factors Klfs , so named for their homology to the Drosophila melanogaster Kr ppel protein, have been extensively studied for their roles in cell proliferation, differentiation and survival, especially in the context of cancer . All KLF family members are characterised by their three Cys2 His2 zinc finger s located at the C terminus Fig. 1A , separated by a highly conserved H C link, Fig. 1B and C Fig. 2 . DNA binding studies demonstrated that the KLFs have similar affinities for different GC rich sites, or sites with CACCC homology, and can compete with each other for the occupation of such sites. KLFs also share a high degree of homology between the Sp KLF family specificity protein Sp family of zinc finger transcription factor s and bind similar, if not the same sites, in a large number of genes. Members The following human genes encode Kruppel like factors KLF1 , KLF2 , KLF3 , KLF4 , KLF5 , KLF6 , KLF7 , KLF8 , KLF9 KLF10 , KLF11 , KLF12 , KLF13 , KLF14 , KLF15 , KLF16 , KLF17 Kr ppel like factors 4 & 5 Klf4 Fig. 2A , known also as gut enriched Kr ppel like factor GKLF acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor depending on the promoter context and or cooperation with other transcription factors. For example, Klf4 transactivation transactivates the Nitric oxide synthase iNOS iNOS promoter in cooperation with p65 RELA RelA , and the p21 p21Cip1 Waf1 promoter in cooperation with p53, but it directly suppresses the p53 promoter and inhibits ... like factors 4 & 5 in the vascular system Klf4 is upregulated in vascular injury.
