Στην βιολογία, το περιβάλλον μπορεί να καθοριστεί σαν ενα σύνολο κλιματικών, βιοτικών, κοινωνικών και εδαφικών παραγόντων που δρουν σε έναν οργανισμό και καθορίζουν την ανάπτυξη και την επιβίωση του. Έτσι, περιλαμβάνει οτιδήποτε μπορεί να επηρεάσει άμεσα τον μεταβολισμό ή τη συμπεριφορά των ζωντανών οργανισμών ή ειδών, όπως το φως, ο αέρας, το νερό, το έδαφος και άλλοι παράγοντες. Δείτε επίσης το άρθρο για το φυσικό περιβάλλον και τη φυσική επιλογή.
Στην αρχιτεκτονική, την εργονομία και την ασφάλεια στην εργασία, περιβάλλον είναι το σύνολο των χαρακτηριστικών ενός δωματίου ή κτιρίου που επηρεάζουν την ποιότητα ζωής και την αποδοτικότητα, περιλαμβανομένων των διαστάσεων και της διαρρύθμισης των χώρων διαβίωσης και της επίπλωσης, του φωτισμού, του αερισμού, της θερμοκρασίας, του θορύβου κλπ. Επίσης μπορεί να αναφέρεται στο σύνολο των δομικών κατασκευών. Δείτε επίσης το άρθρο για το δομημένο περιβάλλον.
Στην ψυχολογία, περιβαλλοντισμός είναι η θεωρία ότι το περιβάλλον (με τη γενική και κοινωνική έννοια) παίζει μεγαλύτερο ρόλο από την κληρονομικότητα καθορίζοντας την ανάπτυξη ενός ατόμου. Συγκεκριμένα, το περιβάλλον είναι ένας σημαντικός παράγοντας πολλών ψυχολογικών θεωριών.
Στην τέχνη, το περιβάλλον αποτελεί κινητήριο μοχλό και μούσα εμπνέοντας τους ζωγράφους ή τους ποιητές. Σε όλες τις μορφές της Τέχνης αποτελεί έμπνευση και οι Καλές Τέχνες φανερώνουν την επιρροή οπού άσκησε σε όλους τους καλλιτέχνες με όποιο είδος Τέχνης κι αν ασχολούνται. Ο άνθρωπος μέσα στο περιβάλλον δημιουργεί Μουσική, Ζωγραφική, Ποίηση, Γλυπτική, χορό, τραγούδι, θέατρο, αλλά και όλες οι μορφές τέχνης έχουν άμεση έμπνευση από το περιβάλλον.

Metabolic Syndrome Modulates Protein Import into the Mitochondria of Porcine Mesenchymal Stem CellsAbstractMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are currently being tested in several clinical trials. Mitochondria regulate many aspects of MSC function. Mitochondrial preproteins are rapidly translated and trafficked into the mitochondrion for assembly in their final destination, but whether coexisting cardiovascular risk factors modulate this process is unknown. We hypothesized that metabolic syndrome (MetS)...

The Therapeutic Potential of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in the Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Tissue DamageAbstractChemotherapy constitutes one of the key treatment modalities for solid and hematological malignancies. Albeit being an effective treatment, chemotherapy application is often limited by its damage to healthy tissues, and curative treatment options for chemotherapy-related side effects are largely missing. As mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are known to exhibit regenerative capacity...

The Nlrp3 Inflammasome Orchestrates Mobilization of Bone Marrow-Residing Stem Cells into Peripheral BloodAbstractMobilization of stem cells from bone marrow (BM) into peripheral blood (PB) in response to tissue or organ injury, infections, strenuous exercise, or mobilization-inducing drugs is as we postulated result of a "sterile inflammation" in the BM microenvironment that triggers activation of the Complement Cascade (ComC). Therefore, we became interested in the role of the Nlrp3 inflammasome...

Targeting T Cell Malignancies Using CD4CAR T-Cells and Implementing a Natural Safety SwitchAbstractT cell malignancies are aggressive diseases with no standard treatment available, often resulting in poor patient outcomes. Lately, the recent FDA approval of a CD19 CAR T cell therapy for B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia has earned nationwide attention, leading to the possibility that success of CD19 CAR therapy can be extended to T cell malignancies. However, the impact of T cell depletion due...

Wnt Signaling Mediates the Aging-Induced Differentiation Impairment of Intestinal Stem CellsAbstractStem cell aging underlies aging-associated disorders, such as steeply increased incidences of tumors and impaired regeneration capacity upon stress. However, whether and how the intestinal stem cells age remains largely unknown. Here we show that intestinal stem cells derived from 24-month-old mice hardly form typical organoids with crypt-villus structures, but rather mainly form big, rounded cysts...

Radiochemotherapie des ZervixkarzinomsZusammenfassungDie primäre kombinierte Radiochemotherapie ist Standard beim lokal fortgeschrittenen und nodal positivem Zervixkarzinom. Eine Kombination aus radikaler Hysterektomie und Radiochemotherapie sollte vermieden werden. Bei histologisch gesicherten Lymphknotenmetastasen paraaortal wird mit EFRT („extended field radiation therapy") eine exzellente lokale Kontrolle erzielt, die Hälfte der Betroffenen erreicht ein Langzeitüberleben. Die neoadjuvante Chemotherapie...

Bildgebung bei NierenzellkarzinomZusammenfassungHintergrundDurch die Zunahme der Ultraschalluntersuchungen und der gleichzeitigen Verbesserung von Labortests (Blutnachweis im Urin) werden heute weiterführende bildgebende Verfahren angewandt, um unklare Läsionen der Nieren weiter abzuklären. Auf der anderen Seite führen bessere Ultraschallgeräte und die Einführung von Ultraschallkontrastmitteln (Ultraschall-KMl) zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung der Ultraschalluntersuchungen mit einer Zunahme an Nachweisraten...
