Immature dendritic cells can be selectively differentiated into tolerogenic or mature dendritic cells to regulate the balance between immunity and tolerance. This work presents a means to generate from immature monocyte derived dendritic cells (moDCs), in vitro tolerogenic and mature moDCs that differ in metabolic phenotypes.

What is Metabolism?
0 Views •
2019
Overview Metabolism represents all of the chemical activity in a cell, including reactions that build molecules (anabolism) and those that break molecules down (catabolism). Anabolic reactions require energy, whereas catabolic reactions provide it. Thus, metabolism describes how cells transform energy through a variety of chemical reactions, which are often made more efficient with the help of enzymes.

Zebrafish represent a powerful vertebrate model that has been under-utilised for metabolic studies. Here we describe a rapid way to measure the in vivo metabolic profile of developing zebrafish that allows the comparison of different mitochondrial function parameters between genetically or pharmacologically manipulated embryos, thereby increasing the applicability of this organism.

An Introduction to Cell Metabolism

In cells, critical molecules are either built by joining together individual units like amino acids or nucleotides, or broken down into smaller components. Respectively, the reactions responsible for this are referred to as anabolic and catabolic. These reactions require or produce energy typically in the form of a “high-energy” molecule called ATP. Together, these processes make up “Cell Metabolism,” and are hallmarks of healthy, living cells.JoVE’s introduction to cell metabolism briefly...

Metabolic Labeling

2023
Metabolic labeling is used to probe the biochemical transformations and modifications that occur in a cell. This is accomplished by using chemical analogs that mimic the structure of natural biomolecules. Cells utilize analogs in their endogenous biochemical processes, producing compounds that are labeled. The label allows for the incorporation of detection and affinity tags, which can then be used to elucidate metabolic pathways using other biochemical analytical techniques, such as SDS-PAGE...
FAQs
Meiotic nondisjunction produces a gamete carrying an atypical number of sex chromosomes because chromosome separation does not occur normally during meiosis. When that gamete participates in fertilization, the resulting embryo can receive an additional X or Y chromosome. This establishes the chromosome complement associated with a metamale or metafemale phenotype before later developmental effects of gene dosage appear.
X-chromosome inactivation reduces the activity of most genes on one X chromosome, but some genes escape this process. Those genes can remain active on more than one X chromosome, creating altered gene dosage. This dosage imbalance helps explain why an extra X chromosome may contribute to physical, developmental, or reproductive differences despite partial chromosome-wide compensation.
Phenotypic variation reflects the combined effects of altered gene dosage, X-chromosome inactivation, and genes that escape inactivation. These influences do not produce an identical developmental pathway in every individual. Consequently, people with comparable chromosome complements may show different physical, developmental, or reproductive features, making the karyotype an important association rather than a complete prediction.
Cytogenetic diagnosis can characterize an individual's sex-chromosome complement and provide a biological framework for interpreting associated traits. It connects chromosome variation with the study of developmental and reproductive features while recognizing that outcomes vary between individuals. In human genetics, this information supports investigation of chromosome dosage and helps distinguish chromosomal findings from assumptions about a person's expected phenotype.
They are relevant when researchers investigate how sex-chromosome number and gene dosage influence development. Comparing these phenotypes with other chromosome complements can help examine the consequences of an additional X or Y chromosome and the contribution of X-chromosome inactivation. Such work contributes to human genetics and to broader research on variable relationships between karyotype and phenotype.
Findings should be interpreted as variable features associated with chromosome complements, not as a fixed list of traits that applies to every individual. The relevant biology includes altered gene dosage and incomplete compensation from X-chromosome inactivation. This approach keeps cytogenetic results scientifically useful while avoiding the mistaken conclusion that chromosome variation determines one uniform developmental or reproductive outcome.
