Programmed cell death in which the cell coordinates its own DNA degradation and nuclear condensation | Apoptosis |
Normal gene regulating cell proliferation that can become an oncogene when mutated | Proto-oncogene |
Steroids, peptides, and proteins that act over short and long distances to provide extracellular signals to cells. | Hormones |
Proteins that underlie the inner surface of the nuclear membrane and become soluble during mitosis to allow dissolution of the nuclear membrane into vesicles | Nuclear lamins |
The relaying of a signal through the cytoplasm to the nucleus in order to mediate a cellular response to an extracellular signal. | Signal transduction |
