Resumen
El crecimiento de las raíces de las plantas depende de la renovación y diferenciación de las células madre en el ápice de la raíz. Un estudio revela que la vía del retinoblastoma es clave para equilibrar estos procesos para el desarrollo continuo de las raíces.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Vegetal Biología Vegetal
- Biología del desarrollo Biología del desarrollo.
- Investigación con células madre.
Sus antecedentes:
- El crecimiento continuo de las raíces de las plantas requiere una regulación precisa de las poblaciones de células madre en el ápice de la raíz.
- Mantener un equilibrio entre la diferenciación de las células madre y la auto-renovación es fundamental para el desarrollo de las raíces.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation
The development of all multicellular organisms starts with the fusion of haploid cells called sperm and egg to form a diploid zygote. A zygote is a totipotent cell that can develop into a complete organism. The zygote undergoes cell division or cleavage to form an 8-cell mass. Until this stage, the cells are spherical, loosely attached, and remain totipotent. Totipotent cells are capable of developing both the embryonic and the extraembryonic tissues. However, as they continue to divide, they...
