How do transformed cells grow? First, they no longer require contact with the surface of a culture dish. The transformed cells are, instead, capable of replicating in agar or in suspension (Figure 2).
The following explains the process of tissue culture for American chestnut somatic embryos (non-zygotic embryos established from zygotic cells). All steps are performed in a laminar-flow ... through ...
How is a normal cell transformed into a cancerous cell? The proteins involved in cell division events no longer appropriately drive progression from one cell cycle stage to the next.
The possibility to stably transfect immortalized epithelial cells with specific HPV oncogenes, offers a useful model to investigate the oncogenic transformation driven by papillomavirus infection.
