The cancer gene we all have - Michael Windelspecht

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Within every cell in our body, two copies of a tumor suppressor gene called BRCA1 are tasked with regulating the speed at which cells divide. Michael Windelspecht explains how these genes can sometimes mutate, making those cells less specialized and more likely to develop into cancer. Lesson by Michael Windelspecht

Actually brca1 has much less effect in cell cycle control/reparation/cancer suppression than p53, cyclin dependent kinase genes such as CDK1-3, CDKL5 or p21 etc. But brca1 was selected as a sample to demonstrate how the system actually works. though the video is for general public and mentions not even 5% of the processes which take place in cells both on genetic and cellular levels.

I like to think of it like computer networking. The sum check is used for error detection when transferring data, there is a low chance of it not catching an error but there are a few cases where the error won't be caught and the file being transferred becomes corrupted like it got cancer when copying itself from the host computer.

We find it interesting and useful, therefore we have translated it to Hungarian language.
I would like to inquire whether it is possible to add the text file to the video?
If so, I would like to send you the text file in order to attach it to the video.
Thank you in advance for your reply!

I read an article years ago that said that the first multicellular organism on earth were almost identical to cancer cells, and that modern cells turning into cancer may be caused by a gene going missing or inactive, causing them to revert to an earlier evolutionary state.

So. last week Vsauce made a video about the web and TED-Ed followed with a similar video on that very same day. Today Vsauce made a video about cancer and you are doing the same video on the same day aswell? Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

WOW, actually I'm korean, and I saw this video through korean version. I think the translation of this is veryveryvery wonderful. Maybe translator is amazing person. I will give him a big hand.

How does crashing turn a car into a monster truck and how exactly is BRCA1 involved in regulating the progression through the cell cycle? But mainly how the monster truck got there

so if failed tumor suppressors are hereditary does that mean (with all technicality aside) that if both parents had a weak one, their child would be more susceptible to cancer?

We have two copies in each cell (one from the father, and one from the mother, but do we need both of them, or does only one suffice?
