Activation of the cdk inhibitory protein p21 by ellagic acid suggests a role for ellagic acid in
cell cycle regulation of cancer cells.
Although the biological mechanisms through which this polymorphism could affect aging are not known, it is adjacent to two genes called CDKN2A and CDKN2B, which play an important role
in cell cycle regulation.
Sir Paul Nurse, a 2001 Nobel laureate for his discoveries
regarding cell cycle regulation, went on «The Moth» radio program earlier this year to talk about his discovery of his own origins.
The researchers said the findings fundamentally change the understanding of
G1 cell cycle regulation and the molecular origins of many associated cancers.
Hypermethylation of DNA is a key epigenetic mechanism for the silencing of many genes, including those
for cell cycle regulation, receptors, DNA repair, and apoptosis (5, 6, 7, 8).
Among these, genes involved in cell signaling, microtubule - based movement and
cell cycle regulation seems to be particular important for Stentor regeneration.
After twenty years of research, the cohesin complex still manages to surprise us regularly, as new functions in new areas of
cell cycle regulation come to light.
EGCg has been scientifically demonstrated to assist in maintaining healthy tissues during times of normal metabolic stress and to support
proper cell cycle regulation.
Immune and inflammatory responses and regulation; Mitotic kinases
in cell cycle regulation; Cytokinesis and aneuploidy; Cell migration and metastasis
The mammalian IRF family contains nine members to date, IRF - 1 to IRF - 9, which have diverse roles in host defense,
cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, oncogenesis, and immune cell development (5).
Forman - Kay has also found cases where disordered proteins provide precise tuning of
cell cycle regulation and protein degradation.
Methylation, a fundamental epigenetic process whereby carbon groups are attached to DNA to either silence it or promote its expression, is quintessential to cellular processes including detoxification, metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, mitochondrial energy production, central nervous system function,
cell cycle regulation, cellular integrity, and immune homeostasis — and derangements in methylation have been implicated in many diseases (Robertson, 2005).
