.... Lack of olfactory inputs during development causes a reduction in germline stem cells. Although germline stem cells proliferate normally, the germline cysts undergo caspase-mediated apoptosis, leading to decreased follicle production and egg-laying in flies with defective olfaction. Strikingly...

... of their growth near the edge of the gland, and larger cells were found farthest from the edge of the gland. Immunohistochemical analysis also revealed proliferating cells only within the epithelial lining of the slime gland, suggesting that new slime cells originate from undifferentiated cells lining the gland...

...Kaushik Ghosal; Mohit Gupta; Kathleen A. Killian SUMMARY We examined the effect of agonistic behavior on cell proliferation and neurogenesis in the central nervous system (CNS) of adult male Acheta domesticus crickets. We combined 5-bromo,2′deoxyuridine(BrdU)-labeling of dividing cells...

... contain somata of olfactory local and projection interneurons, respectively. Using markers for DNA synthesis (bromodeoxyuridine) and mitosis (phospho-histone-3), we tested juvenile crayfish ( Procambarus clarkii ) to examine effects of pairwise social experience on proliferation and survival of cells...

...Irineu Illa-Bochaca; Luis M. Montuenga SUMMARY A better knowledge of the regulatory mechanisms involved in stem cell proliferation and/or differentiation could reveal new methods for the treatment of some diseases. Most previous studies in the field of stem cell biology have been carried out...

...Paolo Chieffi; Sergio Minucci SUMMARY Recent studies suggest a role for ERK1 in the regulation of spermatogonial proliferation. In this report the frog Rana esculenta , a seasonal breeder, was used as a model to study the possible effect on ERK1 of photoperiod and temperature. Adult male R...
