Which enzymes important for glycosylation are discussed to play a role in tumorigenesis, particularly in breast cancer?
Topic: Glycoproteins, glycosylation & Cancer
This week you learned about the importance of glycoproteins, glycosylation and the “sugar code” and its importance for many important cellular processes, ranging from cell-cell interaction, immune function and cancer. You heard that the extracellular carbohydrate coat, called glycocalyx, plays a role in tumor formation and progression. As you work on this assignment, consider that approximately half of all human proteins known to date are glycosylated and the majority cancer biomarkers are comprised of glycoproteins. About 270,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. per year and 6.9% of all cancer related deaths will result from breast cancer. Also consider that the human receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (HER2), one of the proteins found mutated in many breast cancer patients, has multiple sites of N-glycosylation important for its biological function.
This week I want you to read the following scientific review article:Scott D.A. & Drake R.R. Glycosylation and its implication in breast cancer. Exp. Rev. Proteomics. 2019 Aug.; 16(8): 665-680) and also do some additional literature research on NCBI PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) on this week’s topic.Then discuss the following aspects with your class mates:
Is there scientific evidence showing a role of glycosylation in tumor development and/or metastasis?
Which sugar residues and “glyco-antigens” are discussed to play a role in tumorigenesis, particularly in breast cancer?
What are the diagnostic methods used to detect alterations in glycosylation patterns amongst normal cell and tumor cells?
What is meant by the term “sugar code”?
What are the challenges in the field of glyco-biology?

Describe the types of costs that you share with your insurance companies after you have visited the doctors or pay for your health services and what it does not include. Who do you think benefits most from cost-sharing and why?
Insurance companies always practice cost-sharing, which is the share of costs covered by your insurance that you pay out of your pocket.

Many people frequently use the terms leader and manager interchangeably, but these roles involve two different sets of skills. According to Steven Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Leaders and managers are two different things. Leadership is not management. Leadership has to come first. Management is a bottom-line focus: How can I best accomplish certain things?
Many people frequently use the terms leader and manager interchangeably, but these roles involve two different sets of skills. According to Steven Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Leaders and managers are two different things. Leadership is not management. Leadership has to come first. Management is a bottom-line focus: How can I best accomplish certain things? Leadership deals with the top line: What are the things I want to accomplish? (2017, p. 107).
The roles of leader and manager are both fundamentally important to an organization. Managers are required to keep things running smoothly and leaders are needed to provide direction and motivation and to produce change. A person can be both a good manager and a good leader, but this is not always the case. For this Discussion, you will examine the leadership skills and management skills of the leaders with whom you have worked.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Reflect on your professional experience with leaders with whom you have interacted as a follower, colleague, or supervisor. Consider the strengths and weaknesses these professionals had with regard to leadership and management skills. How well did they perform their roles as managers and as leaders?
Then, drawing from your professional experience, identify a leader with whom you have interacted as a follower, colleague, or supervisor that matches only one of the following descriptions:
They are a good leader lacking effective managing skills.
They are a good manager lacking effective leadership skills.
They are an effective leader and manager.
They are neither a good leader nor manager.
Post an analysis of leadership versus management in business, being sure to address the following:
Without giving the actual name of the leader you have selected, identify their strengths and weaknesses as a leader and as a manager. Then distinguish the individuals leadership skills from their management skills.
Analyze the effect the leader had on the business environment where you worked at the time. Was there a need for both management and leadership from this individual? Explain why or why not.
Identify two lessons learned from working with this leader that you could apply to your own professional practice as a leader and/or manager.
Refer to the Week 1 Discussion 2 Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this grading rubric to assess your work.
Important Note About Discussion Rubrics: In the peer-to-peer engagement section of the Discussion, the focus of your posts and responses should be to promote quality interaction with your colleagues and Instructor, to further the dialogue on the particular topic, to deepen your mutual understanding of concepts, and to draw out new ideas. Although you are encouraged to provide support for ideas you bring in from other sources, which is appropriate for discourse within a masters-level classroom, emphasis is placed on the quality of the engagement as noted in the Discussion rubrics, with 40% of your score based on your level of engagement in the ongoing conversation with your colleagues.
Read some of your colleagues postings.
