An enzymatically cross-linked polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based hydrogel was engineered to promote and align nerve cells in a three-dimensional manner. To render the injectable, otherwise bioinert, PEG-based material supportive for cell growth, its mechanica ...
Although cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) controls the G1/S transition and promotes DNA replication, it is dispensable for cell cycle progression due to redundancy with Cdk1. Yet Cdk2 also has non-redundant functions that can be revealed in certain genetic ...
The septation initiation network (SIN) regulates aspects of cell growth and division in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and is essential for cytokinesis. Insufficient signalling results in improper assembly of the contractile ring and failure of cytokinesis, gen ...
Bacterial cells behave as individuals despite being genetically identical and subject to the same environment. Although the underlying mechanisms of cellular individuality are not well understood, temporal variation of gene expression and protein levels in ...
How cells grow and divide is a question that was raised more than 100 years ago. Despite years of research and in-depth knowledge of several molecular mechanisms, the complete system that regulates and coordinates both of those activities within Schizosacc ...
During the bacterial cell cycle, chromosome replication and cell division must be coordinated with overall cell growth in order to maintain the correct ploidy and cell size. The spatial and temporal coordination of these processes in mycobacteria is not un ...
The toxicity of two types of ultra-small zeolites (8–18 nm) with LTL- and EMT-type structures is reported. Both the LTL- and EMT-type zeolites belong to the same group of molecular sieves; they have large pores (7.1–7.5 Å) and low silica content (Si/Al = 1 ...
Since stem cells have the unique ability to produce more of themselves (i.e. to "self-renew") and to generate specialized tissue cells, they are an ideal source of cells for regenerative medicine and in vitro tissue models. In order to fully exploit this p ...
We describe a rapid method for monitoring the cell growth and decline phases in suspension cultures of animal cells. During the cell growth phase, ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing components in the medium are consumed, but at later times as cells begin to die, U ...
Mitotic exit integrates the reversal of the phosphorylation events initiated by mitotic kinases with a controlled cytokinesis event that cleaves the cell in two. The mitotic exit network (MEN) of budding yeast regulates both processes, whereas the fission ...
