  • Within a few days, a large proportion of cells formed in embryoid bodies expressed NANOS3-mCherry as well as other key PGC genes, indicating that they were probably nascent germ cells. (nature.com)
  • These analyses revealed that induced PGC-like cells shared expression profiles (including core germ cell genes) with early PGCs and seminomas. (nature.com)
  • Biologists have used microscopes to reveal how tiny structures inside cells prop them up and help them move, reproduce, activate genes, and much more. (harvard.edu)

  • Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, whose products normally provide negative control of cell proliferation, contributes to malignant transformation in various cell types. (medscape.com)
  • how can a mutant cell make other non-mutant cells exhibit a mutant phenotype? (stackexchange.com)
  • One thing that I am wondering is, in the context of non-cell autonomous, how can a mutant cell make other non-mutant cells exhibit a mutant phenotype? (stackexchange.com)
  • William Kaelin, Jr. was in 1995 engaged in the study of the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor gene, and after isolation of the first full-length clone of the gene showed that it could suppress tumor growth in VHL mutant tumorigenic cell lines. (nobelprize.org)
  • Such membrane structures were assumed to be absent in pex3 and pex19 mutant cells and, consequently, it was proposed that Pex3 and Pex19 are involved in peroxisomal membrane formation 1,7 . (rug.nl)
  • In the same way that integrated circuits enabled the explosion of the computer chip industry, these versatile and dynamic biological switches could soon unlock precise control over the behavior of living cells and, ultimately, our health," said El-Samad, who is also a Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator. (ucsf.edu)
  • To characterize these induced PGC-like cells and confirm their germ cell identity, the authors performed gene expression profile analyses, comparing the induced cells to human PGCs from 7-week-old male embryos and to a human seminoma originating from the germline in vivo . (nature.com)
  • Expression of EGFR variant III induces transactivation of JNK2 in GBM cells, which is required for a tumorigenic phenotype in vivo. (aspetjournals.org)
  • My group seeks precise molecular definition of the epigenetic plasticity that promotes homeostasis of tumor cells that retain malignant potential in the face of standard therapy. (upenn.edu)
  • Apoptotic cells can produce signals to instruct cells in their local environment, including ones that stimulate engulfment and proliferation. (elifesciences.org)
  • Although this process can occur in individual cells, apoptotic signals may also dictate the 'communal death' of many cells simultaneously. (elifesciences.org)
  • Apoptosis has been thought to resemble a form of silent suicide by cells, but more recent work suggests that apoptotic cells can also transmit signals. (elifesciences.org)
  • Only more recently has it become clear that apoptotic cells are the source of signals that can have profound effects on their neighbors. (elifesciences.org)
  • The formation of longitudinal axon tracts in the CNS is complex and requires a myriad of molecular signals and specialized cell types, such as intermediate target and guidepost cells. (jneurosci.org)
  • When you describe some mutation as 'cell-autonomous', you're basically saying that the phenotype is just dependent on the cell where the mutation is expressed. (stackexchange.com)
  • Mechanochemical Principles of Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Cells and Tissues. (mpi-cbg.de)
  • Patterns are ubiquitous in living systems and underlie the dynamic organization of cells, tissues, and embryos. (mpi-cbg.de)
  • The tissues of developing organisms can be shaped by apoptosis, a form of regulated cell killing. (elifesciences.org)
  • Cells and tissues comprise viscoelastic materials that exert forces and can actively change shape. (amolf.nl)
  • Moreover, PGC-like cells initiated DNA demethylation, consistent with a germline-specific epigenetic programme. (nature.com)
  • Individual oscillating cells are synchronized with their neighbors, forming a coherent wave pattern of gene expression. (ens-lyon.fr)

  • Targeted molecular therapy, like therapy with monoclonal antibodies, gene therapy, and other therapies, has limited or nonexistent side effects on normal cells of the body, unlike present modalities such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. (medscape.com)
  • But they've also endured incredibly strong and scary side effects, in part because of the lymphodepleting chemotherapy that is performed before the CAR-T-cells are reinfused. (news-medical.net)
  • Lymphodepleting chemotherapy kills off existing T-cells to create a blank slate for the CAR-T-cells, and research has shown that the therapy is more effective after lymphodepleting chemotherapy. (news-medical.net)
  • O'Neil said that eliminating the need for lymphodepleting chemotherapy could mean that CAR-T-cell therapy would become viable for more types of diseases. (news-medical.net)
  • Cells interact with each other all the time, particularly in a multicellular organism: it's absolutely essential that they do. (stackexchange.com)
  • For an example off the top of my head, a mutation in a pigment-producing enzyme causing albinism is almost certainly going to be cell-autonomous: if you introduced the mutation in only the pigment-producing cells, you'd get exactly the same result as if the entire organism had the mutation.
