@instituteofhumananatomy: 🧬 Cholesterol has a bad reputation — but your body literally can't function without it. Here's what cholesterol actually does: 🔬 Cell membranes — embedded in every single cell membrane in your body, regulating fluidity and structural stability ⚗️ Steroid hormones — testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, and progesterone are all synthesized from cholesterol 🫀 Bile production — the liver uses cholesterol to produce bile salts, which are essential for digesting dietary fats ☀️ Vitamin D synthesis — cholesterol is a key building block 🧠 Myelin sheaths — your nervous system uses cholesterol to insulate neurons, allowing electrical impulses to travel rapidly Cholesterol isn't a foreign invader. It's a molecule your body intentionally manufactures because it's essential for survival. The real story is far more nuanced than "cholesterol = bad." 💡 Follow for more anatomical awesomeness! & Watch our full cholesterol video on our YouTube channel! #tiktoklearningcampaign #anatomy #humananatomy #cholesterol #cellmembrane #hormones #myelin #nervoussystem #liver #bile #vitamind #physiology #anatomyandphysiology #healthscience #medschool #premed #learnontiktok

My daughter has a Pten gene variant C389G>(p.Arg30Pro) where her pathways are continuously open making her susceptible to cancers. It sounds like cholesterol has something to do with dephosphorylation or removing phosphates? I think she needs to go from PIP3 to PIP2? Any ideas? Ty

My dad passed from an abdominal aortic aneurysm that ruptured, he did not know it was there. Now I know what it is, in simple terms, but would you mind showing and explaining that?
