Not exact matches

One of the team's new biosensors is made from a nanoplasmonic material that is able to accommodate a large number of cells on a single substrate and to monitor cell proliferation, a fundamental process involving cell growth and division, in real time.

By measuring how the light has changed once it emerges through the other side of the slide, the researchers can detect and monitor processes occurring on the sensor surface, such as cell division.

The assay uses time - lapse microscopy to monitor individual yeast cells undergoing a small number of divisions to form microcolonies.

«Many cell types have been shown to reach a size threshold before they commit to cell division and this requires that they somehow monitor their own size,» says Professor Martin Howard from the John Innes Centre.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins recently learned that most cells will not divide without centrioles, and they found out why: A protein called p53, already known to prevent cell division for other reasons, also monitors centriole numbers to prevent potentially disastrous cell divisions.

«P53 was already known to monitor many things, like DNA damage and having the wrong number of chromosomes, that make division dangerous for cells,» says Andrew Holland, Ph.D., an assistant professor of molecular biology and genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The eggs are monitored to confirm that fertilization and cell division are taking place.

For endodermal cells, a window of 20 — 65 non-dorsal sox17: eGFP + cells were monitored for cell divisions from the onset of GFP expression to approximately 85 % epiboly in three time windows to allow for correction of focus (20 frames, 54 frames, 20 frames, respectively).
