Necrosis is morphologically characterized by a gain in cell volume (oncosis), swelling of organelles, plasma membrane rupture and subsequent loss of intracellular contents. Necrosis has ...

SubG1 analysis of cells for oncosis Protocol The advantage of this method is that it is very rapid and will detect cumulative oncosis and is applicable to all cell types. However in order to be seen ...

In general, though not always, this is an early event in oncosis and is thought to be a signal to neighbouring cells that a cell is ready to be phagocytosed. Annexin-V is a specific PS-binding protein ...

Life or death of individual cells determines health and disease in multi-celled organisms. Cell death is crucial for organogenesis in utero and successful control of host cell populations in ...

Interphase The cell spends most of its life in this phase. The DNA in chromosomes copies itself ready for mitosis. Prophase The DNA in chromosomes and their copies condenses to become more visible.
