P53 — 30 Yreviewsears On
FOCUS ON P53 — 30 YREVIEWSEARS ON p53 — a Jack of all trades but master of none Melissa R. Junttila and Gerard I. Evan Abstract | Cancers are rare because their evolution is actively restrained by a range of tumour suppressors. Of these p53 seems unusually crucial as either it or its attendant upstream or downstream pathways are inactivated in virtually all cancers. p53 is an evolutionarily ancient coordinator of metazoan stress responses. Its role in tumour suppression is likely to be a relatively recent adaptation, which is only necessary when large, long-lived organisms acquired the sufficient size and somatic regenerative capacity to necessitate specific mechanisms to reign in rogue proliferating cells. However, such evolutionary reappropriation of this venerable transcription factor entails compromises that restrict its efficacy as a tumour suppressor. Cnidarians–bilaterians Cancer is a genetic pathology that arises in the adult tissues questions are important for several reasons. Knowing Cinidarians comprise an animal of long-lived organisms, such as vertebrates, whose tis- how p53 discriminates between normal and tumour cells phylum of ~9,000 radially sues retain a substantial regenerative capacity throughout might point to attributes of cancer cells that qualitatively symmetrical, mostly marine life and, consequently, whose somatic cells accumulate distinguish them from normal somatic cells and could organisms.

University of Pittsburgh, 2012 Congenital heart disease (CHD) contributes to the rate of birth defects in the population with an incidence of nearly 1% of all live births (1). CHD has significant Public Health importance due to its high incidence, clinical severity, and complexity of medical management. In some cases, efficiently diagnosing the underlying cause of CHD is essential to providing optimal clinical care. The etiology of CHD is hypothesized to be largely multifactorial in nature, but chromosome abnormalities account for 8-13% of all CHD (2, 3). -

Several members of the RAB GTPase family have been implicated in mitotic progression. In this review, we will first focus on the function of endosome-associated RAB GTPases reported in early steps of mitosis, spindle pole maturation, and during cytokinesis. Second, we will discuss the role of Golgi-associated RAB GTPases at the metaphase/anaphase transition and during cytokinesis.

Abstract Background: Human stem cells are viewed as a possible source of neurons for a cell-based therapy of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. Several protocols that generate different types of neurons from human stem cells (hSCs) have been developed. Nevertheless, the cellular mechanisms that underlie the development of neurons in vitro as they are subjected to the specific differentiation protocols are often poorly understood. Results: We have designed a focused DNA (oligonucleotide-based) large-scale microarray platform (named "NeuroStem Chip") and used it to study gene expression patterns in hSCs as they differentiate into neurons. -
