Cell cycle
See also cell cycle control Introduction/Definitions: Progression through the cell cycle requires the coordination of variety of macromolecular syntheses, assemblies and movements. The chromosomes must be replicated, condensed, segregated, and…
Caspases
The caspases, comprising a family of cysteine proteases, have been firmly established as major mediators of the execution phase of apoptosis. While most of the known CASPs are involved in…
Activation of apoptosis
Introduction: Pathways for apoptosis induction or inhibition originate from both extrinsic and intrinsic signalling systems. Extrinsic signalling pathways are initiated by ligand binding to cell-surface receptors (e.g., Fas ligand binding…
Apoptosis
See also Apoptosis Assays Introduction: Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a process fundamental to the normal development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. Deregulation of programmed cell death leads to a number…
Integrins
Integrins are widely expressed cell surface adhesion molecules that mediate cell-extracellular matrix and cell-cell interactions. Integrins are the principal receptors on animal cells for binding most like collagens, fibronectin and laminins. T…
Cell junctions
A basic feature of multicellular animals is the formation of diverse kinds of tissue, such as skin, blood, or muscle, where cells are organized in specific ways. Cells must also…
Cell adhesion
Cells adhere to each other and to the extracellular matrix through cell surface proteins called cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). Tissue architecture is established and maintained to a large extent by…
Stem cells

Non-immune cells
Within the bone marrow, all blood cells originate from a single type of unspecialized cell called a stem cell. When a stem cell divides, it first becomes an immature red…
