THRESHOLD RESPONSE TO STOCHASTICITY IN MORPHOGENESIS.

Threshold response to stochasticity in morphogenesis.

During development of biological organisms, multiple complex structures are formed.In many instances, these structures need to exhibit a high degree of order to be functional, although many of their constituents are intrinsically stochastic.Hence, it has been suggested that biological robustness ultimately must rely on complex gene regulatory netwo

EZH2 depletion blocks the proliferation of colon cancer cells.

The Enhancer of Zeste 2 (EZH2) protein has been reported to stimulate cell growth in some cancers and is therefore considered to represent an interesting new target for therapeutic intervention.Here, we investigated a possible role of EZH2 for the growth control of colon cancer cells.RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated intracellular EZH2 depletion led
