Differentiation-Induced Radioresistance in Muscle Cells
29 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
DNA damage induces cell cycle arrest and DNA repair or apoptosis in proliferating cells. Terminally differentiated cells are permanently withdrawn from the cell cycle and partly resistant to apoptosis. To investigate the effects of genotoxic agents in postmitotic cells, we compared DNA damage-activated responses in mouse and human proliferating myoblasts and their differentiated counterparts, the myotubes. DNA...
