Apoptosis
Research from University of Oxford, Medical Department in the area of apoptosis published
July 15th, 2008
According to a study from Oxford, the United Kingdom, "The regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis is fundamental to the control of cell growth and organism homeostasis. Failure to efficiently regulate these processes often results in the increased cell growth observed in tumors." "Accumulation of genetic lesions frequently eliminates these regulatory steps so it is imperative that multiple signalling pathways are employed to ensure that efficient control is maintained. Over the last few years a novel signalling pathway entered the limelight that prevents inappropriate activation of the cell cycle and can elicit apoptosis to limit cell numbers. Denoted the MST/hippo...
