Notch1 endocytosis is induced by ligand and is required for signal transduction.

Chapman G1, Major JA2, Iyer K2, James AC2, Pursglove SE2, Moreau JL2, Dunwoodie SL3.
Biochimica et biophysica acta.Biochim Biophys Acta.2016 Jan;1863(1):166-77. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2015.10.021. Epub 2015 Oct 30.
The Notch signalling pathway is widely utilised during embryogenesis in situations where cell-cell interactions are important for cell fate specification and differentiation. DSL ligand endocytosis into the ligand-expressing cell is an important aspect of Notch signalling because it is thought to su

Russell's viper venom affects regulation of small GTPases and causes nuclear damage.

Pathan J1, Martin A1, Chowdhury R2, Chakrabarty D3, Sarkar A4.
Toxicon : official journal of the International Society on Toxinology.Toxicon.2015 Dec 15;108:216-225. doi: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2015.10.011. Epub 2015 Oct 28.
Russell's viper with its five sub-species is found throughout the Indian subcontinent. Its venom is primarily hemotoxic. However, its envenomation causes damage to several physiological systems. The present work was aimed to study the dose and time dependent cytotoxic effects of Russell's viper veno

Effect of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on the Growth of HepG2 and Hela Cells

Long Xiaohui,Matsumoto Rena,Yang Pengyuan,Uemura Toshimasa
Cell
… Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) accumulate at carcinomas and have a great impact on cancer cell's behavior. … Here we demonstrated that hMSCs could display both the promotional and inhibitive effects on growth of HepG2 and Hela cells by using the conditioned media, indirect co-culture, and cell-to-cell co-culture. … Cell growth was increased following the addition of lower proportion of hMSCs while decreased by treatment of higher proportion of hMSCs. …

Cell Density-dependent Nuclear Accumulation of ELK3 is Involved in Suppression of PAI-1 Expression

Tanaka Shu,Nakao Kazuyuki,Sekimoto Toshihiro,Oka Masahiro,Yoneda Yoshihiro
Cell
… Cell-cell contact regulates the proliferation and differentiation of non-transformed cells, e.g., NIH/3T3 cells show growth arrest at high cell density. … In this study, we showed that the mRNA levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) decreased drastically at high cell density, and that ELK3, a member of the Ets transcription factor family, repressed PAI-1 expression. …
