Frage 1
Frage
What is the difference between cell growth and cell proliferation?
Antworten
-
Cell growth = increase in ONE cell's mass/size; Cell proliferation = increase in cell numbers.
-
Cell growth = increase in cell numbers; Cell proliferation = increase in ONE cell's mass/size.
-
No meaningful distinction.
(/ distinction without substantial difference)
(/ fuck all)

Frage 9
Frage 10
Frage
Disordered signaling in cancer.
Many cancer-critical genes (oncogenes or tumour-suppressor genes) regulate cell growth and proliferation.
e.g. a mutation may lead to independence from mitogen-dependence.
Acquiring the ability to synthesise mitogens (resulting in autocrine stimulation) is one way this can happen. Some examples of this are:
Antworten
-
PDGF, TGFα - glioblastomas & osteosarcoma
-
EGF-R/erbB (epidermal growth factor receptor); HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor)
Frage 11
Frage
Disordered signaling in cancer.
Many cancer-critical genes (oncogenes or tumour-suppressor genes) regulate cell growth and proliferation.
e.g. a mutation may lead to independence from mitogen-dependence.
Constitutive expression of their receptors (resulting in increased sensitivity?) is one way this can happen. Some examples of this are:
Antworten
-
PDGF, TGFα - glioblastomas & osteosarcoma
-
EGF-R/erbB (epidermal growth factor receptor); HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor)
