This dependence on signaling processes is also a protective mechanism. If stem cells were able to multiply uncontrollably, this would lead to uncontrolled growth, as in the case of cancer.

Chloride ion flows that enter the cells play an important role in the duplication of glioblastoma cells, a highly aggressive brain tumor. This is the finding of research recently published in the ...

Prior research on this process has mainly concentrated on the initiation of cell proliferation. However, few studies have explored the inhibitory mechanisms that act as a brake on proliferation.

Understanding this mechanism is relevant for breeding more resilient or higher-yielding crops. Plants form new leaves, flowers and roots at the tips of shoots and roots, in specific growth regions ...

Oct. 11, 2024 — Researchers have developed a new method to recreate a robust and functional human immune system in mice using mononuclear cells from the cord blood. This new kind of mice ...

This is a very unusual ‘upside-down’ orientation. Credit: Isabel Romero Calvo/EMBL Scientists from EMBL Heidelberg and the University of Virginia have uncovered an intriguing mechanism by which cells ...

Researchers from Umeå University, Sweden, and Cornell University, U.S., have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria ... mode in the peptidoglycan cell wall inhibits the activity of certain ...

Independent of its normal function in blood coagulation, FXII has a different effect on the tubular epithelial cells of the kidney: through a receptor mechanism, it forms a complex with two other ...
