REOVIRUS GROWTH INHIBITION BY ROTAVIRUS FOLLOWING COINFECTION

Temporal Control of Plant Organ Growth by TCP Transcription Factors

The Arabidopsis petal is a simple laminar organ whose development is largely impervious to environmental effects, making it an excellent model for dissecting the regulation of cell-cycle progression and post-mitotic cell expansion that together sculpt organ form. Arabidopsis petals grow via basipetal waves of cell division, followed by a phase of cell expansion. RABBIT EARS (RBE) encodes a C2H2...

Inhibition of soluble immune response suppressor activity by growth factors.

Soluble immune response suppressor (SIRS), a protein of Mr 14,000, is a lymphokine produced by interferon- or concanavalin A-activated suppressor T cells and is oxidized to its activated form, SIRSox, by H2O2 produced by macrophages. SIRSox inhibits antibody secretion by B lymphocytes and cell division by normal or transformed cell lines. Effects of purified growth factors on suppression of ant...

Betulinic acid inhibits prostate cancer growth through inhibition of specificity protein transcription factors.

Betulinic acid is a pentacyclic triterpene natural product initially identified as a melanoma-specific cytotoxic agent that exhibits low toxicity in animal models. Subsequent studies show that betulinic acid induces apoptosis and antiangiogenic responses in tumors derived from multiple tissues; however, the underlying mechanism of action is unknown. Using LNCaP prostate cancer cells as a model,...

Growth and Transcription Factors in Tooth Development

Odontogenesis is a complex embryonic process originated by the interaction between two main embryonic components, dental epithelium and ectomesenchyme. This ectomesenchymal interaction is mediated by growth and transcription factors controlling the different aspects of tooth development such as tooth initiation, enamel knot formation and/or cell proliferation and differentiation. The aim of thi...
