The advance of novel biotechnology requires the development of versatile control systems for cell behavior. Towards the vision of cell growth control, we report a magnetic switching in cell proliferation by a catalase-na ...

We have previously shown in renal cells that expression of the water channel Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) increases the rate of cell proliferation by shortening the transit time through the S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle. This ...

Histamine is a recognized growth factor in melanoma, and exogenous histamine produces a dual effect on proliferation. We have previously reported that histamine at micromolar concentrations reduces the proliferation of ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESC) need a set of specific factors to be propagated. They can also grow in conditioned medium (CM) derived from a bovine granulosa cell line BGC (BGC-CM), a medium that not only preserves their main ...

We have previously demonstrated that in renal cortical collecting duct cells (RCCD1) the expression of the water channel Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) raises the rate of cell proliferation. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms ...

The central nervous system areas displaying the highest structural and functional complexity correspond to the so called cortices, i.e. concentric alternating neuronal and fibrous layers. Corticogenesis, i.e. the development ...

The final number of Sertoli cells reached during the proliferative periods determines sperm production capacity in adulthood. It is well known that FSH increases the rate of proliferation of Sertoli cells; however, little ...

Metformin (MET) is one of the most widely used anti-hyperglycemic agents for treating patients with type 2 diabetes and it has started to be used in pediatric population at ages when Sertoli cells are still proliferating. ...

Lead (Pb) is an environmental and industrial contaminant that still represents a public health problem. In this paper, we investigated the effect of Pb on proliferation, lipid peroxidation and the number of micronucleated ...
