Stemness as a cell default state.
The potential of stem cells to generate all cell types while retaining the ability to self-renew has attracted much attention; a degree of focus comparable to that of developmental biologists on the capacity of an egg to produce a full organism. This interest has been enhanced by the prospective biomedical applications of stem-cell-derived technologies. As such, efforts are under way to identif...
متن کاملLung Cancer Stem Cell Lose Their Stemness Default State after Exposure to Microgravity
Microgravity influences cell differentiation by modifying the morphogenetic field in which stem cells are embedded. Preliminary data showed indeed that stem cells are committed to selective differentiation when exposed to real or simulated microgravity. Our study provides evidence that a similar event occurs when cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cultured in microgravity. In the same time, a signifi...
متن کاملStemness is only a state of the cell.
How the programming and reprogramming of stem/progenitor cells regulate normal cell development and cancer is still not well known. One of the tools that we have chosen to use to investigate stem cell regulation is the transcriptional repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST). REST contains a DNA-binding domain and two repressor domains. Once bound to its target genes, REST can ...
متن کاملDefault Finite State
We propose DFSM's as an extension of nite state machines, explore some of their properties, and indicate how they can be used to formalize naturally occurring linguistic systems. We feel that this implementation of two-level rules may be more linguistically natural and easier to work with computationally. We provide complexity results that shed light on the computational situation.
متن کاملThe default state of the cell: Quiescence or proliferation?
There exists abundant evidence that mutations that change the function or expression of growth-regulatory genes can lead to progression to a cancerous phenotype, and the progressive accumulation of such changes as the underpinning of tumorigenesis forms the basis for the somatic mutation theory (SMT) of cancer [1]. At a molecular level, that model of tumorigenesis suggests that progression to a...
