Apoptosis in the haemopoietic system

Aug 30, 1994 - Our previous studies have shown that haemopoietic stem cells undergo apoptotic death as a consequence of growth factor withdrawal. In this paper we review the new data that has accumulated since this observation and compare it with older data from

Epigenetic inheritance systems contribute to the evolution of a germline

Aug 19, 2016 - Differentiation within multicellular organisms is controlled by epigenetic markers transmitted across cell division. The process of differentiation will modify these epigenetic markers so that information that one cell type possesses can be lost in

Apoptosis and cancer chemotherapy

Aug 30, 1994 - The major disseminated cancers remain stubbornly resistant to systemic therapy. Drug-resistant tumours include both slow and fast growing types, with the carcinomas constituting the major problem. Strategies for drug discovery have, in the past,

Morphological aspects of self-repair of lesions caused by internal growth stresses in stems of Aristolochia macrophylla …

Jul 22, 2010 - This study reveals in detail the mechanism of self-repair during secondary growth in the vines Aristolochia macrophylla and Aristolochia ringens based on morphological data. For a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms during the

Opportunities from the use of protoplasts

Jun 10, 1981 - Plant protoplasts of several horticultural and crop species can now be readily regenerated into plants. There are now available several opportunities for their use in the manipulation of genetic systems in plant breeding. Protoplast cloning has

Expression of the neuropeptide SALMFamide-1 during regeneration of the seastar radial nerve cord following arm autotomy

Apr 24, 2019 - Arm loss through a separation at a specialized autotomy plane in echinoderms is inextricably linked to regeneration, but the link between these phenomena is poorly explored. We investigated nervous system regeneration post-autotomy in the asteriid

VII. Further experiments and histological investigations on intumescences, with some observations on nuclear division…

Jan 1, 1906 - In a paper published in 1900 a description was given of certain pathological outgrowths, first called intumescences by Sorauer, but known as œdemata to American writers, occurring spontaneously on Hibiscus vitifolius, Linn. The paper is mainly

Tumour–adipose tissue crosstalk: fuelling tumour metastasis by extracellular vesicles

Jan 5, 2018 - During metastasis, tumour cells must communicate with their microenvironment by secreted soluble factors and extracellular vesicles. Different stromal cell types (e.g. bone marrow–derived cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts)…

Maternal–fetal conflict, genomic imprinting and mammalian vulnerabilities to cancer

Jul 19, 2015 - Antagonistic coevolution between maternal and fetal genes, and between maternally and paternally derived genes may have increased mammalian vulnerability to cancer. Placental trophoblast has evolved to invade maternal tissues and evade structural
