Modulation of growth control mechanisms critical to atherogenesis
The principal lesion characteristic of atherosclerosis is the plaque. This lesion mainly consists of smooth muscle cells, connective matrix and large amounts of extracellular lipids. Smooth muscle cell hyperplasia is an integral event in atherosclerotic plaque formation and the resultant occlusion of blood vessels. These abnormal cell proliferation...
Monitoring of nuclear activity during pollen development and androgenesis in Brassica napus L.
To study transcription and maturation of RNA, pollen development and androgenesis of Brassica napus was chosen as a test system as explained in Chapter 1. Culturing microspores and young bicellular pollen at 32 °C allows to change the developmental pathway from pollen development towards embryogenesis. Culturing at 18 °C results in normal pollen de...
Microtubules in legume root hairs: cell polarity and response to rhizobial signal molecules
Microtubules, which occur as hollow protein tubes with a diameter of 25 nanometers, are an important compound of the cytoskeleton and occur in plant cells as a highly organized and dynamic array, which actual arrangement will depend on its tasks during the cell cycle. Microtubules play a key-role in the spatial distribution of the cytoplasm, cell g...
Tomato fruit growth : integrating cell division, cell growth and endoreduplication by experimentation and modelling
Keywords: cell division, cell growth, cell endoreduplication, fruit growth, genotype, G×E interaction, model, tomato. Fruit size is a major component of fruit yield and quality of many crops. Variations in fruit size can be tremendous due to genotypic and environmental factors. The mechanisms by which genotype and environment interact to determine ...
Shoot apical meristem arrest in brassica and tomato
A pool of cells known as stem cells located in the center of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) are responsible to maintain meristematic activity throughout a plants life in order to produce organs. The maintenance of these stem cells is tightly controlled by a complex genetic and hormonal network. Any disruption that leads to the loss of stem cells w...
Een semi-stochastisch cell-based model voor de ontwikkeling van een longcarcinoom
In de geneeskunde wordt het gebruik van wiskundige modellen en computersimulaties steeds belangrijker. Zo kan steeds beter voorspeld worden hoe complexe systemen in het lichaam reageren op externe factoren zoals medicijnen. Een toepassing hiervan vindt men in kankeronderzoek. Cellen in het menselijk lichaam kunnen op twee manieren worden aangezet t...
