Cancer, Alzheimer's & Protein Origami | David Pincus | TEDxBeaconStreet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The two diseases most likely to afflict us as we age - cancer and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's - may both have an Achilles' heel. David Pincus will argue that the two are fundamentally linked by the vital cellular process of "protein folding". This provocative talk posits that protein folding is the key to unlocking all cancers - not just for treating specific cancers, like breast cancer or lung cancer - and for all neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS.
David Pincus, a Fellow at the Whitehead Institute and recipient of the NIH Director's Early Independence Award, is a molecular and cell biologist given the rare opportunity to direct an independent research laboratory and pursue his scientific ideas immediately following completion of his PhD. His studies on how cells respond to stress point to an underlying connection between cancer and neurodegenerative diseases that he hopes to exploit through research to potentially solve both.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
this was so cool to learn. Thank you
Excellence discussion Davis !! Honor to your job.
Superb...
Thanks again.
What reduces protein aggregate? Low-protein diet?
Superb
Pretty legit. Dr.
it was really helpful. I would like to put your information in the my report regarding the correlation of Alzheimer's and cancer. and I would like to reference and cite some of your finding. How will I get this information online? please reply asap
Fatma Mandhry hope everything went well
Here's a thought, eliminate the excessive burden we place on chaperon's by reducing our consumption of complex proteins. The china study and other similar findings have shown this to be the case. I for one prefer the vegan approach. It's where all the science and clinical findings are pointing.
***** Nope. That's not how it works.
***** We're not eating complex proteins in meat and cheese that are cluttering our cells. We probably don't even have chaperons that deal with most of the proteins you consume, chaperons are for the infinitely complex proteins our cells make, not the ones we eat.
+Jack Tietjen im not sure abt the chaperones' role in cancers , but I am deadly sure that going vegan in many cancer cases lead to remission
Yeah because you're starving your cells on a vegan diet xD hahahahaha
Dude, I'm vegan, and I totally advocate a vegan diet. However, all you have demonstrated here is that you haven't understood any of the concepts he is talking about.
and also if you have any journals or articles on the correlation of cancer and Alzheimer's that would be helpful. thank you
want to know how to prevent cancer and alzheimer's ? exercise,plant based nutrition and intermittent fasting . you're welcome
Yeah. Ok. And your scientific studies and proof can be found where?
@@vitalitybypaul6966 basically everywhere
@@batroll1 basically your interpretation of it. Yes. It’s a better way to set ourselves up for success yet it only scratches the surface. What’s in the air you breathe? Are you closer to a city, the suburbs or the sticks? What’s in the water you drink? What do you think about on a daily basis?
French fries and beer are vegan. Is that a good start?
Lot of good info. Still doesn't deliver as regards how to fix.
Nor does he say what triggers these diseases.
@@reasoningwithrema there’s only so much one can accomplish in 15 minutes
There is a method to activate genes that take care of folding the protein properly :)
Which genes, and why are they silenced n the first place?
+Talat Aman - more than just genes, it is entire process including the support case of a group of enzymes, this happen so fast under fraction of a second.
Best to allow adequate energy flows to the cell membranes.
could you please point me in the right direction?
ما الفرق بين البروتينات و طي البروتينات
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been donated to cancer and other diseases, where is the money going? Why is the progress so slow? We have three main techniques or treatments if you will for cancer- chemotherapy, radiation, and slowly emerging, immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is in my opinion the most effective/promising, so why did it take so long?
Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe there are any animal models for immunotherapy which is why it is difficult to test. And there have been great strides in cancer research...but cancer is one of the ways that our bodies react to aging. I expect we will never fully be rid of it.
The cell are going from making balls to snakes. Is the problem - defective production or over production?
The audience laughing was so out of place. There’s nothing funny about cancer or Alzheimer’s disease. This guys research appears to be a major breakthrough and I hope by 2050 there will be a way to deal with these “chaperones” at just the right levels. It’s interesting that he said “people who have had cancer will probably never get Alzheimer’s-cancer is in my family and there’s been no history of Alzheimer’s disease -I truly believe he’s on the right track!
Hope we find a cure to both retro virus diseases and prion diseases as soon as possible. Enough people died from them already!
It's pronounced 'chapperoni'
I m Rishabh vatsa from India ,
And I m also want find the same .....
Can I work with you.
Quit meat starch milk eggs carrots spinach soy it’s more I can help you figure this out email me we could talk more
What are these chaperones made of?
+Atif Zaman chaperones are also proteins
