Cell biologists have recently come to understand that asymmetry of division is an important regulatory phenomenon in the fate of a cell. In adult organisms asymmetric divisions regulate the stem cell reservoir and are a source of the drift that contributes to aging. This book describes the phenomenon in different organisms and addresses its implications for the development of the organism, cell differentiation, human aging and the biology of cancers.

  • Biology of Aging
    Alvaro Macieira-Coelho
    The survival of the human species has improved significantly in modern times. During the last century, the mean survival of human populations in developed countries has increased more than during the preceding 5000 years. This improvement in survival was accompanied by an increase in the number of active years. In other words, the increase in mean lif...

  • Inhibitors of Cell Growth
    Alvaro Macieira-Coelho
    The containment of cell growth is at the core of the homeostatic regulation of metazoans, and considerable progress has been made in the understanding of how this is achieved. Most knowledge comes from the isolation of molecu­ les with positive and negative regulatory effects on cell proliferation, and most emphasis so far has been on these molecules....

    Alvaro Macieira-Coelho
    The genetic information contained in a cell needs the appropriate environment to express itself, not only the intracellular environment but also the extracel­ lular one. The latter is provided to a great extent by the molecules which constitute the extracellular matrix. On the one hand, the matrix creates inter alia the right pH and osmotic envi­ ronm...

  • Cell Immortalization
    Alvaro Macieira-Coelho
    The problem of the long-term proliferation of cells is a seminal one. It has always been a hot subject in biology, a source of far-reaching hypotheses, even more so now when explanations for the mechanisms of cell prolifera­ tive mortality or immortality seem within our reach. A question which is still debated is whether an infinite division potential...
