  • Specimens were processed, stored and shipped to Division of Laboratory Sciences, National Center for Environmental Health. (cdc.gov)
  • To check if valproic acid could trigger senescence in human cells, the team ran a similar experiment using 3D clusters of human nerve cells, known as cerebral organoids. (livescience.com)
  • The researchers exposed the organoids to valproic acid and found that the drug pushed the organoids' neuroepithelial cells into senescence, just as it had in the mouse embryos. (livescience.com)
  • When a cell stops dividing, it is called senescence. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The conventional view of how stem cells differentiate assumes that cells are "instructed" to progress along prescribed signaling pathways. (sciencedaily.com)
  • A new study suggests that the conventional view, which assumes that cells are "instructed" to progress along prescribed signaling pathways, is too simplistic. (sciencedaily.com)
  • But in many different areas, we also have pathways now where we're able to create drugs. (medscape.com)
  • Here, we show that primitive (CD34(+)CD38(-)) CML cells, in contrast to corresponding normal cells, express a functional interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor complex and respond with NF-κB activation and marked proliferation in response to IL-1. (lu.se)
  • By using growth and division-inhibition at 16 hr as indices of activity, eight penicillins, differing in the side chain, were tested against an Erwinia species, and compared with benzylpenicillin. (microbiologyresearch.org)
  • It was concluded that the side chain of these penicillins is not essential for the inhibition of growth and division of this Erwinia sp. (microbiologyresearch.org)
  • Inhibition of division by d -amino acids. (microbiologyresearch.org)
  • Reversal of inhibition of cell division caused by d -amino acids, penicillin, and ultraviolet light. (microbiologyresearch.org)
  • The microtubule is an organelle that is essential for plant cell division . (tutorialspoint.com)
  • During the project I will learn new techniques, such as plant genetics, plant cell culturing, and classical and confocal fluorescence microscopy. (europa.eu)
  • In particular, they found that certain chromatin regions, with marks telling cells not to read a particular segment of DNA, attract each other and form dense clumps called heterochromatin, which are difficult for the cell to access. (mit.edu)
  • As each of the cell progeny divides, the new pattern lives on in each new clone. (cdc.gov)
