Breast Cancer Gene Issues Surface
Story Summary: GRB-7 and HER-3 emerged as genes (proteins) that, when over-expressed are capable of disrupting the homeostatic relationship (balance) between the genes (proteins) HER-1 and HER-2. Craig Angelini, The Centers biology advisor commented, While the model for homeostasis and its associated concepts will transform most of the processes used in biological research, caution must be exercised not to make assumptions without thorough laboratory research using established protocols. The Centers findings will enable the research community to use a new lens to identify possible and highly probable causal paths and variables that can lead to illnesses and diseases. The additional variables identified include but are not limited to those involving signaling dynamics for mitochondria, possible disruptions in processes for apoptosis (cell death), imbalances in surface proteins responsible for apoptosis, and the disruption of homeostatic relationships of other tumor markers currently used as individual biomarkers (e. g. alpha-fetoprotein AFP). Included in discoveries made by The Center, the application of the rate of cellular absorption also appears to be a major factor in breast cancer as well as most other disease entities. The model for cellular absorption is explained on The Centers web site in the tab for Life Sciences. Angelini explained, Identifying causal paths for any disease state has been elusive because so many disruptions must occur at the same time. A separate Life Sciences group was then formed to address the model of corollary relationships of substances in the body. The outcome of these investigations into process beyond neurobiology led to the formulation of the irrefutable model for assessing homeostatic relationships between substances in the body.
