  • Here we tracked micronucleated chromosomes with live-cell imaging and show that acentric fragments cluster in close spatial proximity throughout mitosis for asymmetric inheritance by a single daughter cell. (nature.com)

  • When cells proliferate in the absence of appropriate driving signals, cancer is the undesirable consequence. (janechin.net)
  • Extracellular signals direct the cell-cycle 'engine. (janechin.net)
  • The Restriction point is also known as a checkpoint, where 'the cell is arrested at a particular phase of the cycle due to a lack of appropriate signals' (Hartwell and Weinert, 1989). (janechin.net)
  • This allows for the spread of electrical and chemical signals to cells within a defined radial compartment within the VZ. (jneurosci.org)

  • The ability of cancer cells to sustain proliferative signals was the first of six hallmarks of cancer that were described in a seminal review attempting to rationalise the complexity of neoplastic disease [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • During a person's lifetime, each hair follicle undergoes several growth cycles that consist of three phases . (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • Did you know that every organ and tissue in your body was formed as the result of individual cells making copies of their DNA and separating themselves into two identical cells? (visionlearning.com)
  • Mitosis ends with 2 identical cells, each with 2N chromosomes and 2X DNA content. (heimduo.org)
  • Hair follicles contain several different types of cells, including melanocyte stem cells that generate cells that produce the pigment melanin responsible for hair color. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • The study found that aging results in a greater portion of these melanocyte stem cells getting stuck at the site where they produce stem cells, which leaves a smaller portion of stem cells to generate melanin-producing cells, resulting in the graying of hair. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • The stem cells in the hair follicle generate the cells to help regenerate hair follicle cells and facilitate hair growth. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • Smaller cells often have a higher density of mitochondria, enabling them to generate energy more efficiently. (motherhoodsbliss.com)
  • In addition to bud formation at the distal end of the stalk, these mutants can generate buds directly from the cell body of the mother cell. (uni-marburg.de)
  • It's hard to imagine, but the cells present in a tiny embryo ultimately generate all of the cells that make up the body of an adult human being. (visionlearning.com)
  • The anchor cell induces nearby epidermal precursor cells to generate vulval cells via an epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling pathway. (wormbook.org)
  • The two 2 ° precursor cells generate vulA, vulB1, vulB2, vulC and vulD cells but in mirror symmetric polar patterns: ABCD and DCBA. (wormbook.org)
  • The anchor cell also patterns nearby uterine cells, via the DSL ligand LAG-2 and LIN-12 , to generate the four uv1 cells that form the tight connection with the vulva. (wormbook.org)
  • During the L3 stage, a signal from the gonad and signaling among the VPCs specifies three VPCs to generate vulval cells ( Figure 2 ). (wormbook.org)
  • The vulval lineages are of two types, 1 ° and 2 ° , each of which generate distinct sets of progeny. (wormbook.org)
  • The uninduced VPCs generate a 3 ° lineage, which make epidermal cells that fuse with the large syncytial epidermis hyp7. (wormbook.org)
  • The chromosomes are pulled apart by the spindle fibers and move to opposite ends of the cell. (careforlifee.com)
  • What would happen if DNA was not condensed into chromosomes during mitosis?A.)DNA would not be replicated.B.)The spindle would not form.C.)DNA could become tangled or tear while moving to opposite sides of the cell.D.)All of the above.Q60. (oneclass.com)
  • Mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, are responsible for energy production. (motherhoodsbliss.com)
  • Using an intact cortical mantle and confocal laser microscopy, we examined the spatiotemporal patterns of spontaneous [Ca 2+ ] i fluctuations in neocortical ventricular zone (VZ) cells in situ . (jneurosci.org)
  • These results demonstrate distinct patterns of spontaneous [Ca 2+ ] i change in cortical precursor cells and raise the possibility that these dynamics may contribute to the regulation of neurogenesis. (jneurosci.org)
  • Thus, distinct patterns of chromothripsis can be explained by the spatial clustering of pulverized chromosomes from micronuclei. (nature.com)
  • However, in most cases, these patterns of chromothripsis differed from those in cancer genomes as the rearrangements were largely restricted to a single daughter cell and lacked the canonical oscillations in DNA copy-number states 2 . (nature.com)
  • Mitotic clustering drives the unequal inheritance of acentric fragments by a single daughter cell, providing an explanation for the origins of distinct patterns of chromothripsis found across diverse cancer types and congenital disorders. (nature.com)
