  • Warburg Effect(S)—A Biographical Sketch of Otto Warburg and His Impacts on Tumor Metabolism Angela M
    Otto Cancer & Metabolism (2016) 4:5 DOI 10.1186/s40170-016-0145-9 REVIEW Open Access Warburg effect(s)—a biographical sketch of Otto Warburg and his impacts on tumor metabolism Angela M. Otto Abstract Virtually everyone working in cancer research is familiar with the “Warburg effect”, i.e., anaerobic glycolysis in the presence of oxygen in tumor cells. However, few people nowadays are aware of what lead Otto Warburg to the discovery of this observation and how his other scientific contributions are seminal to our present knowledge of metabolic and energetic processes in cells. Since science is a human endeavor, and a scientist is imbedded in a network of social and academic contacts, it is worth taking a glimpse into the biography of Otto Warburg to illustrate some of these influences and the historical landmarks in his life. His creative and innovative thinking and his experimental virtuosity set the framework for his scientific achievements, which were pioneering not only for cancer research. Here, I shall allude to the prestigious family background in imperial Germany; his relationships to Einstein, Meyerhof, Krebs, and other Nobel and notable scientists; his innovative technical developments and their applications in the advancement of biomedical sciences, including the manometer, tissue slicing, and cell cultivation. The latter were experimental prerequisites for the first metabolic measurements with tumor cells in the 1920s. In the 1930s–1940s, he improved spectrophotometry for chemical analysis and developed the optical tests for measuring activities of glycolytic enzymes. Warburg’s reputation brought him invitations to the USA and contacts with the Rockefeller Foundation; he received the Nobel Prize in 1931.

  • Sir Charles Sherrington'sthe Integrative Action of the Nervous System: a Centenary Appreciation
    doi:10.1093/brain/awm022 Brain (2007), 130, 887^894 OCCASIONAL PAPER Sir Charles Sherrington’sThe integrative action of the nervous system: a centenary appreciation Robert E. Burke Formerly Chief of the Laboratory of Neural Control, National Institute of Neurological Disorders, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA Present address: P.O. Box 1722, El Prado, NM 87529,USA E-mail: [email protected] In 1906 Sir Charles Sherrington published The Integrative Action of the Nervous System, which was a collection of ten lectures delivered two years before at Yale University in the United States. In this monograph Sherrington summarized two decades of painstaking experimental observations and his incisive interpretation of them. It settled the then-current debate between the ‘‘Reticular Theory’’ versus ‘‘Neuron Doctrine’’ ideas about the fundamental nature of the nervous system in mammals in favor of the latter, and it changed forever the way in which subsequent generations have viewed the organization of the central nervous system. Sherrington’s magnum opus contains basic concepts and even terminology that are now second nature to every student of the subject. This brief article reviews the historical context in which the book was written, summarizes its content, and considers its impact on Neurology and Neuroscience. Keywords: Neuron Doctrine; spinal reflexes; reflex coordination; control of movement; nervous system organization Introduction The first decade of the 20th century saw two momentous The Silliman lectures events for science. The year 1905 was Albert Einstein’s Sherrington’s 1906 monograph, published simultaneously in ‘miraculous year’ during which three of his most celebrated London, New Haven and New York, was based on a series papers in theoretical physics appeared.

  • Emil Von Behring (1854–1917) the German Bacteriologist
    Emil von Behring (1854–1917) The German bacteriologist and Nobel Prize winner Emil von Behring ranks among the most important medical scientists. Behring was born in Hansdorff, West Prussia, as the son of a teacher in 1854. He grew up in narrow circumstances among eleven brothers and sisters. His desire to study medicine could only be realized by fulfilling the obligation to work as an military doctor for a longer period of time. Between 1874 and 1878 he studied medicine at the Akademie für das militärärztliche Bildungswesen in Berlin. In 1890, after having published his paper Ueber das Zustandekommen der Diphtherie- Immunität und der Tetanus-Immunität bei Thieren, he captured his scientific breakthrough. While having worked as Robert Koch’s scientific assistant at the Berlin Hygienic Institute he had been able to show – together with his Japanese colleague Shibasaburo Kitasato (1852–1931) – via experimentation on animal that it was possible to neutralize pathogenic germs by giving „antitoxins“. Behring demonstrated that the antitoxic qualities of blood are not seated in cells, but in the cell-free serum. Antitoxins recovered of human convalenscents or laboratorty animals, prove themselves as life-saving when being applied to diseased humans. At last – due to Behring’s discovery of the body’s own immune defence and due to his development of serotherapy against diphtheria and tetanus – a remedy existed which was able to combat via antitoxin those infectious diseases which had already broken out. Having developped a serum therapy against diphtheria and tetanus Behring won the first Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1901. Six years before, in 1895, he had become professor of Hygienics within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Marburg, a position he would hold for the rest of his life.

  • The Prime Cause, Prevention and Treatment of Cancer
    International Science and Investigation Journal ISSN: 2251-8576 2016, 5(5) Journal homepage: www.isijournal.info The Prime Cause, Prevention and Treatment of Cancer Somayeh Zaminpira *1, Sorush Niknamian 2 *1 Ph.D. in Cellular and Molecular Biology, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom 2 Ph.D. in Cellular and Molecular Biology, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom 102 International Science and Investigation Journal Vol. 5(5) Abstract This meta-analysis research has gone through more than 200 studies from 1934 to 2016 to find the differences and similarities in cancer cells, mostly the cause. The most important difference between normal cells and cancer cells is how they respire. Normal cells use the sophisticated process of respiration to efficiently turn any kind of nutrient that is fat, carbohydrate or protein into high amounts of energy in the form of ATP. This process requires oxygen and breaks food down completely into harmless carbon dioxide and water. Cancer cells use a primitive process of fermentation to inefficiently turn either glucose from carbohydrates or the amino acid glutamine from protein into small quantities of energy in the form of ATP. This process does not require oxygen, and only partially breaks down food molecules into lactic acid and ammonia, which are toxic waste products. The most important result is that fatty acids or better told fats cannot be fermented by cells. This research mentions the role of ROS and inflammation in causing mitochondrial damage and answers the most important questions behind cancer cause and mentions some beneficial methods in preventing and treatment of cancer. Keywords Cancer, Respiration, Fermentation, ROS, Prevention Introduction 1.

    Microbiology: Example SAQs Level 1: remembering. Frequently used task words: define, list, label, name. Can the student recall or remember the information? Identify TWO methods used to treat drinking water to reduce the risk of infection. This question just asks for the name of the methods, and nothing else is required. You don’t need to write an explanatory paragraph. You don’t even need to put the answer into a sentence. Boiling water Chlorination Microbiology: Example SAQs Level 2: understanding. Frequently used task words: describe, explain, identify & example. Can the student explain ideas or concepts? Explain the importance of using controls in microbial experiments. This question can have more than one answer and the length required is difficult to determine by looking at the question. Does your academic want an essay or do they want a one-liner? You can address this by looking at how much this question is worth. In an exam each mark is worth about a minute of time, so the amount you need to write depends on the mark value. Controls in microbial experiments allow us to validate the results. The control ensures that the microbial growth is a result of experimental conditions rather than contamination. For example, when testing the presence of microbes in food, the control agar plate is left unopened / unexposed. No growth in the control culture plate will make sure the microbial growth in experimental plates is from food rather than from the contamination of nutrient agar. Microbiology: Example SAQs Level 3: applying. Frequently used task words: apply, illustrate, solve, use & demonstrate.
