    Lol, I enjoy watching these videos to study from since I am in anatomy at the college level and some of these are good "refreshers". I have also laughed at some of the word choice for example "Psychopath" and his "descendents" . This makes studying fun. Not only that. Sometimes I just watch these videos because I like watching them.

    The information you are giving will enrich people in terms of knowledge and take appropriate measure in controlling its menace.

    You did fine with pronouncing metastasizing, when a cell metastasized; based on it being hard for you to pronounce, I'd say, Mr. Khan, that you did a marvelous job of working your way through that problem... if you have difficulty pronouncing anything, take your time and do it right.

  • @przemkowaliszewski3290
    @przemkowaliszewski3290 3 роки тому +2

    I define cancer in a different way. Tumorigenesis is a
    complex, temporo-spatial, multistep phenomenon that begins locally in macromolecules
    at the level of quantum interactions during spontaneous thermodynamic
    fluctuations [Waliszewski P et al. On
    the holistic approach in cellular and cancer biology: nonlinearity, complexity,
    and quasi-determinism of the dynamic cellular network. J Surg Oncol 1998;
    68(2): 70-78]. Macromolecules undergo deterministic chaotic oscillations
    caused by physical forces whose average value in time is zero. Some of those fluctuations
    lead to the irreparable DNA damage in protein encoding genes as well as to the
    altered function of DNA polymerases. Those alterations result in both
    qualitative and quantitative changes in non-linear, non-bijective, and
    quasi-deterministic dynamic cellular network composed of genes, their
    regulatory elements, RNAs and functional proteins. In particular, mutations
    appear in some critical genes during DNA synthesis and replication (compare [Tomasetti C et al. Stem cell division, somatic
    mutation, cancer etiology, and cancer prevention. Science 2017; 355: 1330-1334.]).
    A novel cellular phenotype emerges. Since that process occurs random and
    parallel in different stem cells, malignant phenotype may appear in different
    tissue localizations. Usually, cells with the mutated DNA self-organize in a tumor,
    that is, a tissue structure composed not only of malignant cells, but also
    fibroblasts, muscle cells, and blood vessels. Although that lesion develops
    locally, phenotypically malignant cells spread over the body and colonize the
    distant organs as metastases. The metabolic influences of the local lesion
    change eventually metabolism at different levels of hierarchical organization of
    multicellular organism, from
    subcellular organelles up to the organism level. Those metabolic alterations lead
    to death of patients. Thus, a variety of interactions within that hierarchy determine
    the course of tumorigenesis as a disease.
