Because there was no accompanying increase in cell death ( Zhang et al., 2008 ), cell proliferation and not cell survival likely explains why young male rats have...

... were caused by JNK-mediated cell death in the wing pouch via Eiger/TNF signaling. The JNK activation in M /+, yki /+ wing discs required the caspase Dronc, which is normally blocked by DIAP1. Notably, heterozygosity of yki reduced DIAP1 expression in the wing pouch, leading to elevation of Dronc...

...Piya Ghose; Shai Shaham ABSTRACT Cell death is an important facet of animal development. In some developing tissues, death is the ultimate fate of over 80% of generated cells. Although recent studies have delineated a bewildering number of cell death mechanisms, most have only been observed...

In Arabidopsis , final seed size is determined by early expansion of the coenocytic endosperm, which then cellularises and subsequently undergoes developmental programmed cell death, breaking down as the embryo grows. Endosperm breakdown requires the endosperm...

Loss of Jag1b causes cell death in the developing posterior crista and results in downregulation of fgf10a in the posterior prosensory cells. Inhibition of FGFR activity in wild-type embryos also causes loss of the posterior crista...

Overexpression of Draper or the JNK pathway in follicle cells is sufficient to induce death of the underlying germline, suggesting that there is coordination between the germline and follicular epithelium to promote germline cell death. Furthermore, activation...
