Analysis of the tumor genes affected by the two drugs revealed that cabazitaxel had a greater effect
on cellular division and regulation of chromatin — a spool for DNA that helps control which genes are in use and when — whereas docetaxel has a greater impact on DNA transcription and repair.

Instead, they enter their target less disruptively and move
on to disrupt the DNA within or block cell
division or trigger
cellular self - destruction.
«Our study
on the TACC3 - chTOG interaction will allow
cellular biologists and researchers
on microtubule dynamics to better understand how microtubule assembly is regulated during
cellular division,» says Montoya, and he anticipates that «it could also help in developing new anti-microtubule drugs, providing more effective therapeutic options in cancer treatment.»
Analyses were performed
on the frog Xenopus laevis, an animal model widely used by researchers from around the world to study laws governing
cellular division in depth.
This obligate arrangement - in which one partner relinquishes its own mitochondrial power supply to likely become reliant
on its partner for
cellular energy - suggests a genetic
division of labor that makes the resulting lichen more efficient, Tripp said, thereby perhaps conferring an ecological advantage.
She also investigates how asymmetric cell
division impacts
on the
cellular potential to give rise to multiple lineages in vivo.
Something as radical as making inanimate objects move isn't easy, but many researchers believe that commanding shape change will be invaluable as technology aids and replaces human functions: «Maybe every essential process of life is based
on shape transformation:
cellular division, the beating of a heart, embryogenesis,» says Nathalie Katsonis, a materials scientist at the University of Twente.
Bitumen (1986) is a work from the first decade of his career, when Winters was exploring such basic natural processes as crystal formation, fungal growth, and (as in this oil
on linen painting)
cellular division and was equally immersed in the natural history of painting itself.
