6 Questions
What is the main purpose of regulating cell proliferation and death in multicellular organisms?
To prevent the accumulation of damaged cells
What evidence supports the link between the cell cycle and apoptosis?
Accumulated evidence suggests that cell cycle manipulation can prevent or induce an apoptotic response
Which proteins may act to sensitize cells to apoptosis, in addition to functioning in proliferative pathways?
c-Myc and several cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks)
How does unregulated cell proliferation potentially lead to pathologic conditions?
It can result in pathologic conditions, including neoplasias
What potential benefit may be gained from studying the connection between cell death and cell proliferation?
Identifying novel therapies to circumvent disease progression
Why is it important to regulate cell proliferation and death in multicellular organisms?
To maintain tissue homeostasis and prevent pathologic conditions
