Apoptosis promoters spur cell division
Apoptosis promoters spur cell division T wo cell-killing proteins also have a nurturing side, say Russell Jones, Craig Thompson (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA), and colleagues. Although the proteins prod lymphocytes to commit suicide, they also prompt the cells to proliferate—and might do the same for a variety of cell types. The two proteins, Bax and Bak, are part of the apoptot...
متن کاملControl of Apoptosis by Asymmetric Cell Division
Asymmetric cell division and apoptosis (programmed cell death) are two fundamental processes that are important for the development and function of multicellular organisms. We have found that the processes of asymmetric cell division and apoptosis can be functionally linked. Specifically, we show that asymmetric cell division in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is mediated by a pathway invol...
متن کاملReversibility of spur cell anemia.
A diagnosis of spur cell anemia was made. Spur cell anemia is found in end-stage alcoholic liver disease. The morphologic changes of spur cells are caused by accumulation of excess membrane cholesterol, leading to an impaired deformability and consequently a reduced red cell survival. The prognosis of patients with spur cell anemia is poor, with a median survival of a few months. Liver transpla...
متن کاملFluidization of tissues by cell division and apoptosis.
During the formation of tissues, cells organize collectively by cell division and apoptosis. The multicellular dynamics of such systems is influenced by mechanical conditions and can give rise to cell rearrangements and movements. We develop a continuum description of tissue dynamics, which describes the stress distribution and the cell flow field on large scales. In the absence of division and...
