A Cellular Automaton Model for Tumor Dormancy: Emergence of a Proliferative Switch [PDF]
Chen D, Jiao Y, Torquato S (2014) A Cellular Automaton Model for
Tumor Dormancy: Emergence of a Proliferative Switch. PLoS ONE 9(10): e109934, 2014 Malignant cancers that lead to fatal outcomes for patients may remain dormant for very long periods of time. Although individual mechanisms such as cellular dormancy, angiogenic dormancy and immunosurveillance have been proposed, a comprehensive understanding of cancer dormancy and the "switch" from a dormant to a proliferative state still needs to be ...

Models of Microbial Dormancy in Biofilms and Planktonic Cultures [PDF]
Commun. Math. Sci., 10(2) pp. 493-511, 2012, 2010 We present models of dormancy in a planktonic culture and in biofilm, and examine the relative advantage of short dormancy versus long dormancy times in each case. Simulations and analyses indicate that in planktonic batch cultures and in chemostats, live biomass is maximized by the fastest possible exit from dormancy.

Short day transcriptomic programming during induction of dormancy in grapevine
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Bud dormancy in grapevine is an adaptive strategy for the survival of drought, high and low temperatures and freeze dehydration stress that limit the range of cultivar adaptation.

Nature Communications, 2021 Disseminated tumor cells often fall into a long term of dormant stage, characterized by decreased proliferation but sustained survival, in distant organs before awakening for metastatic growth. However, the regulatory mechanism of metastatic dormancy and

Dormancy: There and Back Again
Molecular Biology, 2022 Many cells are capable of maintaining viability in a non-dividing state with minimal metabolism under unfavorable conditions. These are germ cells, adult stem cells, and microorganisms. Unfortunately, a resting state, or dormancy, is possible for tuberculosis bacilli in a latent form of the disease and cancer cells, which may later form secondary ...

Agronomy, 2020 Loss of seed viability, poor and delayed germination, and inaccessibility to high-quality seeds are key bottlenecks limiting all-year-round production of African traditional leafy vegetables (TLVs).

Dormancy signatures and metastasis in estrogen receptor positive and negative breast cancer. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Breast cancers can recur after removal of the primary tumor and treatment to eliminate remaining tumor cells. Recurrence may occur after long periods of time during which there are no clinical symptoms.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017 Significance Increasing evidence suggests that extracellular vesicles (EVs) can transfer genetic material to recipient cells. However, the mechanism and role of this phenomenon are largely unknown. Here we have made a remarkable discovery: EVs can harbor

The impact of dormancy on evolutionary branching [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this paper, we investigate the consequences of dormancy in the `rare mutation' and `large population' regime of stochastic adaptive dynamics. Starting from an individual-based micro-model, we first derive the polymorphic evolution sequence of the population, based on previous work by Baar and Bovier (2018). After passing to a second `small mutations'

Dormancy and germination: making every seed count in restoration
Restoration Ecology, 2020 From 50 to 90% of wild plant species worldwide produce seeds that are dormant upon maturity, with specific dormancy traits driven by species' occurrence geography, growth form, and genetic factors.
