## 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) - A Powerful Research Tool
You're likely referring to **12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)**, also known as **phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)**. It's not **12-o-retinoylphorbol-13-acetate**.
TPA is a **potent tumor promoter**, a compound that does not directly cause cancer but promotes the growth and development of tumors initiated by other carcinogens. This makes it a crucial tool in cancer research.
**Here's why TPA is important in research:**
* **Understanding Cancer Development:** TPA helps scientists study the mechanisms of tumor promotion and progression. It allows them to investigate the signaling pathways and cellular changes involved in the development of cancer.
* **Developing Cancer Therapeutics:** TPA is used to screen for potential anti-cancer drugs that can inhibit its tumor-promoting effects.
* **Investigating Immune Responses:** TPA is also a powerful activator of immune cells like T lymphocytes, making it valuable in research on immune system function and responses.
* **Studying Cellular Signaling:** TPA is known to activate protein kinase C (PKC), a key enzyme involved in cellular signaling. It allows researchers to study PKC activation and its downstream effects on various cellular processes.
**However, it's important to note:**
* TPA is a **highly potent compound** and should be handled with extreme caution in a laboratory setting.
* While TPA is a valuable research tool, it's **not suitable for clinical use** due to its tumor-promoting properties.
If you are interested in learning more about TPA's role in specific areas of research, please be more specific in your question.

Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.

| Cysticercosis Infection with CYSTICERCUS, the larval form of the various tapeworms of the genus Taenia (usually T. solium in man). In humans they penetrate the intestinal wall and invade subcutaneous tissue, brain, eye, muscle, heart, liver, lung, and peritoneum. Brain involvement results in NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS. | 0 | 2.04 | 1 | 0 |

| Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
