CELL TURNOVER IN EPITHELIAL POPULATIONS

The rescaling method for quantifying the turnover of cell populations.

The dynamic nature of immune responses requires the development of appropriate experimental and theoretical tools to quantitatively estimate the division and death rates which determine the turnover of immune cells. A number of papers have used experimental data from BrdU and D-glucose labels together with a simple random birth-death model to quantify the turnover of immune cells focusing on HI...

P.oleracea induced apoptosis and inhibited the cell growth in oral epithelial cancer cell line

Despite the progress in cancer therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation, its eradication remains as unattainable dream for the patients and doctors. Recently, using supplementary agents such as herbal medicine with fewer side effects seems efficient and attractive. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to investigate if the ethanolic extract of P.oleracea has cytotoxicity and apopt...

A Graph-Based Clustering Approach to Identify Cell Populations in Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Data

Introduction: The emergence of single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has provided new information about the structure of cells, and provided data with very high resolution of the expression of different genes for each cell at a single time. One of the main uses of scRNA-seq is data clustering based on expressed genes, which sometimes leads to the detection of rare cell populations. ...

Transcription factor NF-kappaB participates in regulation of epithelial cell turnover in the colon.

The transcription factor nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB regulates the expression of genes that can influence cell proliferation and death. Here we analyze the contribution of NF-kappaB to the regulation of epithelial cell turnover in the colon. Immunohistochemical, immunoblot, and DNA binding analyses indicate that NF-kappaB complexes change as colonocytes mature: p65-p50 complexes predominate in p...
