Plants, 2023 Callose is an important polysaccharide composed of beta-1,3-glucans and is widely implicated in plant development and defense responses. Callose synthesis is mainly catalyzed by a family of callose synthases, also known as glucan synthase-like (GSL ...

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 ...

To germinate or not to germinate : a question of dormancy relief not germination stimulation [PDF]
, 2012 A common understanding of the control of germination through dormancy is essential for effective communication between seed scientists whether they are ecologists, physiologists or molecular biologists. Vleeshouwers et al.

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.

Deciphering a Sleeping Pathogen: Uncovering Novel Transcriptional Regulators of Hypoxia-Induced Dormancy in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Along the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB), hypoxia-induced dormancy is a process involving the oxygen-depleted environment encountered inside the lung granuloma, where bacilli enter a viable, non-replicating state termed as latency. Affecting nearly two billion people, latent TB can linger in the host for indefinite periods of time ...

Model of tumor dormancy/recurrence after short-term chemotherapy.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Although many tumors regress in response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, residual tumor cells are detected in most cancer patients post-treatment. These residual tumor cells are thought to remain dormant for years before resuming growth, resulting in tumor ...

Evolution and seed dormancy shape plant genotypic structure through a successional cycle [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 Significance Studies that experimentally examine evolution have provided critical insight in biology. Indeed, rigorous and replicated laboratory experiments have revealed parallel evolution and have proved essential to understanding evolutionary processes. Nonetheless, a typical limitation of such work is the lack of ecological realism.

The Dormancy Dilemma: Quiescence versus Balanced Proliferation [PDF]
, 2013 Metastatic dissemination with subsequent clinical outgrowth leads to the greatest part of morbidity and mortality from most solid tumors. Even more daunting is that many of these metastatic deposits silently lie undetected, recurring years to decades ...

Tumor Dormancy and Slow-Cycling Cancer Cells
, 2019 Cancer cell heterogeneity is a universal feature of human tumors and represents a significant barrier to the efficacy and duration of anticancer therapies, especially targeted therapeutics. Among the heterogeneous cancer cell populations is a subpopulation of relatively quiescent cancer cells, which are in the G0/G1 cell-cycle phase and refractory to ...
