A singular limit for an age structured mutation problem by Jacek Banasiak, Aleksandra Falkiewicz

“…On the other hand, it is recognized that cells have their own vital dynamics and mutations, leading to changes in their genome, mostly occurring during the cell division at the end of its life cycle. In this context, the process is described by a system of McKendrick type equations which resembles a network transport problem. …”

MEIOSIS: HOW TO HALVE THE CHROMOSOME NUMBER by A. A. Torgasheva

“…The notion of meiosis has been changed and refined for over a century since the discovery of this complicated way of cell division. Its success depends on precise time and space orchestration of many processes, such as chromosome replication, packaging, exchange of homologous regions, alignment in the plane of division, and disjunction. …”

An integrated cellular and sub-cellular model of cancer chemotherapy and therapies that target cell survival by Alexis B. Cook, Daniel R. Ziazadeh, Jianfeng Lu, Trachette L. Jackson

“…Apoptosis resistance is a hallmark of human cancer, and tumor cells often become resistant due to defects in the programmed cell death machinery.Targeting key apoptosis regulators to overcome apoptotic resistance and promote rapid death of tumor cells is an exciting new strategy for cancer treatment, either alone or in combination with traditionally used anti-cancer drugs that target cell division. Here we present a multiscale modeling framework for investigating the synergism between traditional chemotherapy and targeted therapies aimed at critical regulators of apoptosis.…”

Research progress on Sertoli cell secretion during spermatogenesis by Yao Xiao, Jingyi Zhang, Yanxin Guan, Meijing Wang, Dehong Liu, Shengxi Xiong, Junjun Li, Xujun Yu

“…These cells secrete a diverse array of proteins and cytokines that interact with various targets, working in concert with mechanisms in the spermatogenesis pathway and contributing to each stage, from spermatogonial cell division to the maturation of spermatozoa. Hence, the secretory products of SCs are pivotal in fostering germ cell development and directing the appropriate maturation of sperm. …”

Aneuploidy Mechanisms in Human Colorectal Preneoplastic Lesions and Barrett’s Esophagus. Is There a Role for K-Ras and p53 Mutations? by Walter Giaretti

“…These data and data from experiments using in vitro and mouse models, suggest that chromosome instability, tetraploidization, and asymmetrical chromosome segregation during cell division are the result of deregulated cell cycle genes with multiple functions that normally exert active checks on the cell cycle processes including apoptosis and chromosome stability.…”
