😲 Imran Khan's lawyers seek adjournment due to medical reasons

Imran Khan's lawyers Sikandar Sultan Raja and Babar Awan sought adjournment of the cyber crime case trial citing medical emergencies. Sikandar said he had a dental surgery done in Lahore and was on bed rest, while Babar said he was in Multan for political engagements and requested the hearing be postponed to Monday.

😡 Judge refuses adjournment, appoints prosecutors for cross examination

The judge refused to grant any adjournment despite calls being made to Imran Khan and Babar Awan confirming their availability on Monday. Instead, he appointed two prosecutors as defence lawyers for the accused and started cross examination proceedings, drawing protests from Imran Khan's lawyer.

😮 Prosecution by state's lawyers instead of defence counsels

In an unprecedented move, the prosecution and cross examination was being done by the state's lawyers instead of the defence counsels. Imran Khan's lawyer objected that this was being done deliberately by the prosecution team to convict Imran Khan and sought presence of media to witness the irregular proceedings.

Highlights

Multicellular organisms rely on intercellular communication to coordinate growth, development and responses to the environment.

Chemicals released by one cell can travel to receptors on other cells to elicit responses.

Animal development begins with a single fertilized egg cell that divides and differentiates into specialized cell types.

The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved intercellular communication mechanism that regulates cell fate decisions.

Notch receptors on one cell bind ligands on an adjacent cell, leading to cleavage of the Notch intracellular domain which regulates gene transcription.

Alterations in Notch signaling are associated with developmental disorders and multiple cancers.

Wnt proteins are secreted signals that bind cell surface receptors and regulate differentiation, proliferation, polarity and movement.

Aberrant Wnt pathway activation contributes to cancer by increasing cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis.

Hedgehog signaling controls tissue patterning and regeneration through effects on cell growth, survival and fate.

Mutations causing excessive Hedgehog signaling are linked to birth defects and cancers like basal cell carcinoma.

The Hippo pathway controls organ size by regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis in response to cell density.

Disruption of Hippo signaling leads to hyperproliferation and tumor growth.

Growth factor signaling through receptor tyrosine kinases influences diverse cell behaviors including proliferation, differentiation, migration and metabolism.

Aberrant growth factor signaling contributes to diseases like cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disorders.

Cell-cell communication pathways are critical for coordinated cell behaviors and disruption of these pathways leads to developmental defects and diseases.
