Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2015 Cells of a given type maintain a characteristic cell size to function efficiently in their ecological or organismal context. They achieve this through the regulation of growth rates or by actively sensing size and coupling this signal to cell division.

Cell Size Regulation in Mammalian Cells [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2007 The regulation of cell growth and proliferation is fundamental for animal development and homeostasis but the mechanisms that coordinate cell growth with cell cycle progression are poorly understood. One possibility is that "cell-size checkpoints" act to delay division until cells have achieved a minimal size or mass however, the existence of such ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Small erythrocytes might be beneficial for blood rheology, as they contribute less to blood viscosity than large erythrocytes. We predicted that rheological disadvantages of larger erythrocytes could be alleviated by relatively smaller nucleus size in ...

Microorganisms, 2021 Cell size of phytoplankton is known to influence their physiologies and, consequently, marine primary production. To characterize the cell size-dependent photophysiology of phytoplankton, we comparably explored the photosynthetic characteristics of ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Relationships between ribotypic and phenotypic traits of protists across life cycle stages remain largely unknown. Herein, we used single cells of two soil and two marine ciliate species to examine phenotypic and ribotypic traits and their relationships ...

Plants, 2020 Fruit size and shape are important qualities and yield traits in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), but the factors that influence fruit size and shape remain to be explored. In this study, we investigated the dynamic changes of fruit size and shape from the

Temperature Responses of Heterotrophic Bacteria in Co-culture With a Red Sea Synechococcus Strain
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Interactions between autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria are fundamental for marine biogeochemical cycling. How global warming will affect the dynamics of these essential microbial players is not fully understood.

Current Biology, 2021 A fundamental and still mysterious question in cell biology is "How do cells know how big they are?". The fact that they do is evident from the strict maintenance of size homeostasis within populations of cells and has been verified by a variety of creative experiments over the past 100 years.

Cell Cycle Arrest by Supraoptimal Temperature in the Alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Cells, 2019 Temperature is one of the key factors affecting growth and division of algal cells. High temperature inhibits the cell cycle in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 To accommodate surplus energy, the adipose tissue expands by increasing adipocyte size (hypertrophy) and number (hyperplasia). The presence of hypertrophic adipocytes is a key characteristic of adipose tissue dysfunction. High-fat diet (HFD) fed C57BL/6J
