6 Questions
What is the proposed mechanism for maintaining tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms?
Regulating cell cycle progression and programmed cell death
Which proteins are mentioned as potentially sensitizing cells to apoptosis?
C-Myc and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks)
What is the potential consequence of unregulated cell proliferation?
Neoplasias
Which factor may aid in identifying novel therapies to circumvent disease progression?
Knowledge gained from studying the connection between cell death and cell proliferation
Which proteins are suggested to function in proliferative pathways as well as sensitize cells to apoptosis?
Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and their regulators
What may result if unregulated cell proliferation is not countered by appropriate cell death?
Pathologic conditions including neoplasias
Explore the regulation of cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and programmed cell death in multicellular organisms. Understand the link between cell cycle and apoptosis and the shared factors that control these processes.
