Abstract:
Recent molecular studies have revealed that many genes are mobilized during nurse cell formation, including those involved in activation and proliferation of satellite cells, dedifferentiation, cell cycle re-entry and arrest, apoptosis and transformation. This article reviews the kinetics of gene expression from a cellular biology point-of-view in an effort to dissect the complex events that lead to unusual pathological changes after a Trichinella infection.
