Explore the fundamental cellular mechanisms that govern three critical biological processes through this 30-minute lecture from NPTEL-NOC IITM. Examine the role of Oct4 transcription factor in embryonic development and discover how similar cellular pathways operate across regeneration, embryonic development, and cancer progression. Analyze the molecular similarities and differences between these processes, understanding how cells utilize common signaling mechanisms to achieve distinct biological outcomes. Investigate the regulatory networks that control cell fate decisions, proliferation, and differentiation in each context. Learn how disruptions in these shared pathways can lead to developmental abnormalities or contribute to cancer formation, while also enabling remarkable regenerative capabilities in certain organisms and tissues.
