UPREGULATION OF MEIOSIS-SPECIFIC GENES IN LYMPHOMA CELL LINES FOLLOWING GENOTOXIC INSULT AND INDUCTION OF MITOTIC CATASTROPHE

Upregulation of meiosis-specific genes in lymphoma cell lines following genotoxic insult and induction of mitotic catastrophe

Abstract Background We have previously reported that p53 mutated radioresistant lymphoma cell lines FLORAVIT undergo mitotic catastrophe after irradiation, resulting in metaphase arrest and the generation of endopolyploid cells.A proportion of these endopolyploid cells then undergo a process of de-polyploidisation, stages of which are partially rem

Reproduction and population dynamics of Didelphis aurita Wied-Neuwied (Mammalia: Didelphimorphia) in the periurban environment of Santa Catarina Island, in southern Brazil

The various aspects of reproduction and population dynamics of Didelphis aurita were studied through capture-recapture on Santa Catarina Island, in southern Brazil.Surveys were carried out from April 1996 to March 1997.The study area was located near the stream of a swamp in a disturbed Atlantic Forest area.On 880 trap-nights, 31 opossums were capt
