Sentences with phrase «symmetric cell»

As a result, cell division occurred at the position of the nucleus, leading to nearly symmetric cell division, where the generated cells were similar in size.»

Although unequal division occurs among stem cells — allowing one daughter cell to remain a stem cell while the other matures into another cell type, such as a skin or muscle cell — the goal of a normal symmetric cell division is to generate identical daughter cells and increase cell number.

Not exact matches

One of the biggest puzzles in developmental biology is how a symmetric ball of cells ends up with left and right sides that differ.

In parallel, the roles of symmetric and asymmetric cell divisions are investigated as a mechanism for governing stem cell self - renewal and differentiation during embryonic development and in the adult.

ASPM regulates symmetric stem cell division by tuning Cyclin E ubiquitination.

Stem cell replacement is thought to be driven by symmetric division of existing stem cells; however, alternate mechanisms to symmetric divisions are largely unexplored.

No significant differences were seen between the normoxic and hypoxic anoikis - resistant populations collected from MCF7 cells and a single significant gene change (PIP) was seen in T47D (Table 1) suggesting that the CSC - enriched population remains virtually unchanged following hypoxic culture and the increase in MFC, HFC, and tumor initiating cells is, therefore, due to expansion of the population, perhaps by increased symmetric self - renewal of the CSC or de-differentiation of early progenitor cells, rather than simply the acquisition of anoikis resistance in non-CSC.

The first talk of the meeting was by Juergen Knoblich, and it was great to hear about his current projects, using Drosophila genetics to understand cell cycle exit and quiescence plus the contribution of changing the balance of asymmetric versus symmetric divisions in development of various disorders.

SDMA, symmetric dimethylarginine, is produced in every cell and released into the body's circulation during protein degradation.
