Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have an article that can explain cell to cell signaling? Please not one in french. Much Love, Roz

[Abbie]

Hey Roz...

I had this in site in my folder... don't know why... maybe it has something. (I really didn't look to far to see what it was)

http://www.cellsignal.com/


These too... again no idea why I have it...

I have no idea why I have these....

Any thing specific you are looking for.... I have all kinds of links... probably more in this area.

Hi Abbie,

I had an infection go to my heart, I had to be on IVs for the last 5 1/2 months. In my case I really think it could be RSD related. This is just my opinion but I believe people's roots could be different as to why we have it. The ring on my aorta is enlarged. My mum had this problem as well, but they say it is NOT genetic.

One of my MD's tried to explain cell to cell signaling to me. She is truly a wonderful MD and saved my life. Much Love, Roz

Good morning Roz...

Here is another link....
http://www.biology.arizona.edu/cell_bio/problem_sets/signaling/Index.html

It steps back the link that says biology.arizona.edu.......



I believe many oddities (things that can't be attributed to other illness or disease) are as a result of RSD. I know for me docs can't explain why I have what I have...even after running tests to see if it's this or that... they end up telling me it's due to RSD. (could be a cop out on their behalf but they do run tests...)


I'll check through my folders and see if I have anything that fits closer to you....


I hope you are feeling better....

Oh Roz!
I am so sorry to hear about the infection you had in your heart!! My, my.. oh, my!! My husband had an infection in his heart also. He was on an IV for a long, long time. How have you been feeling now? I do hope and pray, that you continue to feel better each and every day!! Love you!~Love, Desi

Hey Desi,

It is great to hear from you. I am soo sorry to hear about your husband. This heart stuff sucks, but I am doing alot better. The inflammation seems to have gone down some in my right limb.

How are you doing? You and your family are in my prayers. Much Love, Roz

Hi Roz,
If it helps they actually also call this :The "Immune Synapse".
I have quite a good article from Feb 2006 Scientific American which goes a long way towards explaining current thinking on it.
Will be in touch.

Cheers Auberon.

Hi Roz-
Cells are so cool! I'm a big bio nerd- my degree is in neuroscience and I just love this stuff. The body is amazing because cells are able to work in such intricate tandem, and for so long no one knew how they did it. Every single cell has the ability to communicate with its neighbors about its specific interior and exterior environment. And it does this by sending out literally thousands of different protein signals. Antibodies are just one type of protein signal to other cells. The G proteins that some of the articles posted mentioned indicate a change of metabolic state inside the cell and start a cascade of processes that change what's going on within the cell. We have an alphabet of 26 letters that we can arrange into thousands of words to communicate. Our body uses a similar system. It has thousands of signaling proteins. But what is it that turns these on? Often it is the conditions within the body, but just as often genes turn these signaling molecules on and off. Or at least the body's ability to produce them.

Hope this helps a little . . . it can get really complicated, but really this is really what it boils down to.

Do you know why my blood work came back with high levels of carbon dioxide? Nothing else wrong with the blood work except for that.
