Triggering of Suicidal Erythrocyte Death by Celecoxib

open access: yesToxins, 2013
The selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib triggers apoptosis of tumor cells and is thus effective against malignancy. The substance is at least partially effective through mitochondrial depolarization.

Mesenchymal cell invasion requires cooperative regulation of persistent microtubule growth by SLAIN2 and CLASP1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Microtubules regulate signaling, trafficking, and cell mechanics, but the respective contribution of these functions to cell morphogenesis and migration in 3D matrices is unclear.

A moderate decrease in temperature inhibits the calcium signaling mechanism(s) of the regulatory volume decrease in chick embryo cardiomyocytes

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
Chick cardiomyocytes, when submitted to hyposmotic swelling, exhibit a partial regulatory volume decrease (RVD). A Ca2+ influx by stretch-activated channels signals a taurine efflux and the RVD at 37°C.

Eryptosis: Programmed Death of Nucleus-Free, Iron-Filled Blood Cells

open access: yesCells, 2022
Human erythrocytes are organelle-free cells packaged with iron-containing hemoglobin, specializing in the transport of oxygen. With a total number of approximately 25 trillion cells per individual, the erythrocyte is the most abundant cell type not only ...

Triggering of Erythrocyte Death by Triparanol

open access: yesToxins, 2015
The cholesterol synthesis inhibitor Triparanol has been shown to trigger apoptosis in several malignancies. Similar to the apoptosis of nucleated cells, erythrocytes may enter eryptosis, the suicidal death characterized by cell shrinkage and cell ...

Cell Competition and its role in the regulation of cell fitness from development to cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cell competition is a cell fitness-sensing mechanism conserved from insects to mammals that eliminates those cells that, although viable, are less fit than their neighbors. An important implication of cell competition is that cellular fitness is not only

Microtubules in 3D cell motility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Three-dimensional (3D) cell motility underlies essential processes, such as embryonic development, tissue repair and immune surveillance, and is involved in cancer progression. Although the cytoskeleton is a well-studied regulator of cell migration, most

Effect of Thioridazine on Erythrocytes

open access: yesToxins, 2013
Background: Thioridazine, a neuroleptic phenothiazine with antimicrobial efficacy is known to trigger anemia. At least in theory, the anemia could result from stimulation of suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis, which is characterized by cell ...

In Vitro Sensitization of Erythrocytes to Programmed Cell Death Following Baicalein Treatment

open access: yesToxins, 2014
The polyphenolic flavonoid Baicalein has been shown to trigger suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells and is thus considered for the prevention and treatment of malignancy.

Cell Volume Regulation in the Epidermis

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2021
In order to cope with external stressors such as changes in humidity and temperature or irritating substances, the epidermis as the outermost skin layer forms a continuously renewing and ideally intact protective barrier. Under certain circumstances, this barrier can be impaired and epidermal cells have to counteract cell swelling or shrinkage induced ...
