Fluidization of tissues by cell division and apoptosis.
During the formation of tissues, cells organize collectively by cell division and apoptosis. The multicellular dynamics of such systems is influenced by mechanical conditions and can give rise to cell rearrangements and movements. We develop a continuum description of tissue dynamics, which describes the stress distribution and the cell flow field on large scales. In the absence of division and...
متن کاملCELL DIVISION IN TISSUES LIKE DISLOCATION UNBINDING IN 2D SOLIDS? Fluidization of tissues by cell division and apoptosis
A growing body of experiments has demonstrated that mechanical forces play an important role in regulating tissue formation, morphogenesis and tumor growth. Growing tissues, notably cancerous tumors, are continuously remodeled by cell division and apoptosis (cell death) that couple to the elastic deformations of the material, changing its mechanical properties. The paper by Ranft et al. propose...
متن کاملControl of Apoptosis by Asymmetric Cell Division
Asymmetric cell division and apoptosis (programmed cell death) are two fundamental processes that are important for the development and function of multicellular organisms. We have found that the processes of asymmetric cell division and apoptosis can be functionally linked. Specifically, we show that asymmetric cell division in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is mediated by a pathway invol...
متن کاملApoptosis promoters spur cell division
Apoptosis promoters spur cell division T wo cell-killing proteins also have a nurturing side, say Russell Jones, Craig Thompson (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA), and colleagues. Although the proteins prod lymphocytes to commit suicide, they also prompt the cells to proliferate—and might do the same for a variety of cell types. The two proteins, Bax and Bak, are part of the apoptot...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in human tumor cell lines by platelets
Introduction: It has been reported that platelets can eradicate tumor cells in vitro, although the mechanism of this effect has not been determined. The effect of platelets on the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells is largely unknown. Materials and methods: To investigate this effect, two human hematologic cell lines, K562 and Daudi, were independently faced with unstimulated and thromb...
