Programmed Cell Death in the Developing Nervous System
Virtually all cell populations in the vertebrate nervous system undergo massive "naturally-occurring" or "programmed" cell death (PCD) early in development. Initially neurons and glia are overproduced followed by the demise of approximately one-half of the original cell population. In this review we highlight current hypotheses regarding how large-scale PCD contributes to the construction of th...
متن کاملProgrammed cell death in the Drosophila central nervous system midline
BACKGROUND During the development of the central nervous system, large numbers of cells die by programmed cell death. This process requires the activity of specific gene products and subserves functions that include regulating the sizes of interacting cell populations and removing cells that provide transient functions. Resolution of programmed cell death often involves the elimination of dying...
متن کاملProgrammed cell death in the nervous system--a programmed cell fate?
Studies of developmental cell death in the nervous system have revealed two different modes of programmed cell death (PCD). One results from competition for target-derived trophic factors and leads to the stochastic removal of neurons and/or glia. A second, hard-wired form of PCD involves the lineage-specific, stereotypical death of identifiable neurons, glia or undifferentiated cells. Although...
متن کاملProgrammed cell death in the developing limb.
The sculpturing of shape in the developing limb together with the regression of the tail in anuran tadpoles constitute, perhaps, the most paradigmatic processes of programmed cell death. The study of these model systems has been of fundamental importance to support the idea that cell death is a physiological behavior of cells in multicellular organisms. Furthermore, different experimental appro...
متن کاملProgrammed cell death in the reproductive system.
The reproductive system presents some of the best examples of programmed cell death, which is to be expected considering the dramatic cycles of tissue growth and regression in females. Hormones from the pituitary gland, gonads and uterus are responsible for coordinating cycles in which the preservation of cell survival and inhibition of apoptosis are important. In the ovary, atresia regulates t...
