Dr Guerra discusses the induction of transcription factor SREBP in activated T lymphocytes  and the regulation of cellular translocation from the ER to the Golgi to the nucleus for the induction of prenyl and acyl lipogenesis, Published 18 August 2020 by Dr Daniel J. Guerra.  Review of: Front. Pharmacol., 17 March 2020.   https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2020.00265

In this segment I discuss the phenomenon of DNA and genomic instability and the DNA repair systems implemented  as mechanisms to drive cellular longevity . 06 August 2020 .

Programmed Cell Death is a classical cell fate that occurs during embryonic development, tissue repair and both leucocyte and lymphocyte turnover. Various subforms of apoptosis ( classical, necroptosis and ferroptosis) are also involved during infection, genotoxicity, oncogenesis and aging. Published By Dr Guerra 05 August 2020.

Dr Guerra discusses the cancer marker gene mKI67 and its turnover linked to predisposition to euchromatin formation and the progression toward a senescent phenotype. Published 04 August 2020.

The mevalonic acid biosynthetic pathway maintains canonical cell activation triggers that link intermediary metabolism to T lymphocyte differentiation. 02 August 2020

The master regulator of protein translation, mTORC, is itself regulated by the stress-induced AMPK pathway. Rapamycin and semi-selective drugs regulating  AMPK may reduce glioblastoma progression and this observation helps to advance a theory for healthy longevity that requires a reduction in anabolism.

In this lecture I gather some of the notable molecular components of age-related decline and the contrarion opposition imposed by cell proliferation. Published 30 July 2020. DJGPhD. 

Dr Dan Guerra examines nutritional restriction and exercise in combination with anti-diabetic drugs to impact the aging process. Published 27 July 2020.

Dr Guerra explains chain initiation, propagation and  termination during  lipid oxidation and the REDOX reactions of the electron transport chain  as a lead in to enzymatic oxidations and the plasticity of immune linked senescence. 26 July 2020.

Dr Guerra lays out the reduction of molecular oxygen to water and the accumulation of intermediate free radical oxygen species that are reduced via enzymatic activity and anti=oxidants. Aging is related to the auto-oxidation of nucleic acids, protein and significantly, membrane unsaturated molecular species of lipids. 24 July 2020

Dr Guerra explains how  mutations in the glycolytic enzyme, pyruvate kinase,  may lead to histone phosphorylation and the florid production of pro-oncogenic events. 24 July 2020.

Dr. Guerra delivers lecture 2 on human aging with a walk on the other side of cell fate:-pathobiochemical immortalization during oncogenesis. Published 21 July 2020

Dr Guerra presents how a protease inhibitor protects a serine protease that is linked to ovarian cancer progression plus how protease inhibitor polymerization overloads the Endoplasmic Reticulum Associated Degradation pathway and Unfolded Protein Response to induce autophagy-linked Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Finally,  a mechanistic step-wise summary of the serine protease catalytic triad &nbsp...

Far from becoming monomeric and unimodal in effect, the anti-trypsin protease inhibitor functions to modulate the transcriptome and proteome of induced pro-inflammatory responses in both systemic and  tumor microenvironments.  Dr Dan Guerra 30 June 2020

Dr Guerra targets his lecture on protease inhibitors as positive acute phase proteins serving a modality of repression against proteolytic degradation processes as induced by the pro-inflammatory cytokine mediated hyper-immune response. Published 29 June 2020.

In this  session Dr Guerra discusses the physiological and pathophysiological roles of serine protease inhibitors (SERPINS). For example,  the physiological role of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) involves control over fibrinolysis  which is an essential  hemostatic mechanism for regulating the dissolution of fibrin clots associated with airway passage remodeling &nbs...

In this Lecture I define and then implement  a dialectical approach to biomedical scientific research methods that involves event ontologies relative to a non-paradoxical understanding of cancer pathobiochemistry. Published 19 June 2020 by Dr Daniel Guerra

Dr. Dan Guerra apprehends several research publications going back to 2012  and proceeding through 2019 in a synthesis of oppostional logic and the published scientific evidence to explain the mediation of metabolic zonation, transcriptional control, and bioenergetcs using PEDF to mitigate cancer progression.
