Cell death/apoptosis: normal, chemically induced, and teratogenic effect

Mutation Research
Z Zakeri, H S Ahuja

Abstract

Cell death is an integral part of a variety of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, and morphogenesis. We review here the morphological and biochemical nature as well as the genetic basis for cell death during normal and abnormal development. Most often referred to in normal development as programmed cell death, this controlled process determines the size, patterning, and function of many tissues. The importance of its proper genetic regulation is demonstrated by the discovery of cell death-specific genes and the several disorders including cancer and teratogenesis that result from repression or enhancement of cell death. In our studies we employed the developing mouse limb, which provides a defined window of active cell death, to elucidate mechanisms of cell death. We have developed markers that reveal in the developing normal limb an apoptotic morphology with phagocytosis and DNA fragmentation. In the limb deformity mutant Hammertoe there is a defective (restricted) cell death pattern, but the morphology remains apoptotic. By the use of these markers, we were able to observe that the teratogen retinoic acid produced enhanced apoptotic cell death. Most interestingly, retinoic acid-induced cell de...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
