Cortical regulation of cell size by a sizer cdr2p
Cells can, in principle, control their size by growing to a specified size before commencing cell division. How any cell actually senses its own size remains poorly understood. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are rod-shaped cells that grow to ∼14 µm in length before entering mitosis. In this study, we provide evidence that these cells sense their surface area as part of this size co...
متن کاملSize dependence of rate-controlling deformation mechanisms in nanotwinned copper
Nanotwinned metals exhibit an unusual combination of ultrahigh strength, considerable ductility and enhanced rate sensitivity. We find that a Hall–Petch-type relationship closely fits the experiment data of activation volume as a function of twin spacing. The results suggest a transition of the rate-controlling mechanism from intra-twinto twin-boundary-mediated processes with decreasing twin la...
متن کاملCytokinins Determine Arabidopsis Root-Meristem Size by Controlling Cell Differentiation
Plant postembryonic development takes place in the meristems, where stem cells self-renew and produce daughter cells that differentiate and give rise to different organ structures. For the maintenance of meristems, the rate of differentiation of daughter cells must equal the generation of new cells: How this is achieved is a central question in plant development. In the Arabidopsis root meriste...
متن کاملControlling cell division in yeast and animals: does size matter?
In yeast, cell-size checkpoints coordinate cellular growth with cell-cycle progression. Now, evidence has been provided that such checkpoints probably do not exist in mammalian cells. These findings highlight an important difference between how yeast and animal cells proliferate in response to extracellular cues.
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms controlling Sertoli cell proliferation and differentiation.
Whereas spermatogonia stem cells continually divide to populate the testis with developing germ cells, the major supporter of this process, the Sertoli cell, ceases to proliferate shortly after birth in rodents and during puberty in higher primates including men. Because Sertoli cells are capable of supporting only a fixed number of germ cells, the timing of Sertoli cell exit from the cell cycl...
