unusual facts about cell growth


Davidson Seamount

Scientific data on the water currents and food availability of the seamount was collected, as was information on the age and growth patterns of the corals themselves.


CFC domain

In molecular biology, the CFC domain (Cripto Frl-1 Cryptic domain) is a protein domain found at the C-terminus of a number of proteins including Cripto (or teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor).

Angiomyolipoma

Whether associated with these diseases or sporadic, angiomyolipomas are caused by mutations in either the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, which govern cell growth and proliferation.

Arthur Pardee

In 1961 Pardee became Professor in Biochemical Sciences at Princeton University while in 1975 he moved to Boston to become Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School as well as Chief for the Division of Cell Growth and Regulation at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

George Sperti

The purpose was to focus on anti-cancer research, however a cell derivative which stimulated healthy cell growth found a huge market as Preparation H.

Interleukin 2

It was initially called T cell growth factor, but the name was changed in 1978 to IL-2 (interleukin-2) by the Interlaken cytokine nomenclature committee.

KITR

KIT receptor, a membrane-bound receptor for mast/stem cell growth factor.

Lhermitte–Duclos disease

Like cowden syndrome, patients with Lhermitte–Duclos disease often have mutations in enzymes involved in the Akt/PKB signaling pathway, which plays a role in cell growth.

Oncomir

When expressed in colon cancer cells, miR-143 and miR-145 are able to slow growth at the translational level by interfering with MAPK7, an enzyme responsible for cell growth.
