  2. Cell growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_growth

    Cell growth refers to an increase in the total mass of a cell, including both cytoplasmic, nuclear and organelle volume. [1] Cell growth occurs when the overall rate of cellular biosynthesis (production of biomolecules or anabolism) is greater than the overall rate of cellular degradation (the destruction of biomolecules via the proteasome, lysosome or autophagy, or catabolism).

  3. Subcellular localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcellular_localization

    The cytoplasm, the cytoplasmic membrane and the cell wall are subcellular localizations, whereas the extracellular environment is clearly not. Most Gram-negative bacteria also contain an outer membrane and periplasmic space. Unlike eukaryotes, most bacteria contain no membrane-bound organelles, however there are some exceptions (i.e. magnetosomes).

  4. Cancer staging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_staging

    Stage 0: carcinoma in situ, abnormal cells growing in their normal place ("in situ" from Latin for "in its place"). Stage 0 can also mean no remaining cancer after preoperative treatment in some cancers (e.g. colorectal cancer). Stage I: cancers are localized to one part of the body. Stage I cancer can be surgically removed if small enough.

  5. Tenosynovial giant cell tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenosynovial_giant_cell_tumor

    Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a non-malignant tumor defined histologically as inclusions of “osteoclast-like” multinucleated giant cells, hemosiderin, and macrophages. [1] This histology can present one of 2 clinically distinct ways. TGCT tumors often develop from the lining of joints (also known as synovial tissue).

  6. Neoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoplasm

    A neoplasm (/ ˈ n iː oʊ p l æ z əm, ˈ n iː ə-/) [1] [2] is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue. The process that occurs to form or produce a neoplasm is called neoplasia. The growth of a neoplasm is uncoordinated with that of the normal surrounding tissue, and persists in growing abnormally, even if the original trigger is ...

  7. Tissue growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_growth

    Tissue growth is the process by which a tissue increases its size. In animals, tissue growth occurs during embryonic development, post-natal growth, and tissue regeneration. The fundamental cellular basis for tissue growth is the process of cell proliferation, which involves both cell growth and cell division occurring in parallel. [1] [2] [3] [4]

  8. Cell proliferation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_proliferation

    Cell division can occur without cell growth, producing many progressively smaller cells (as in cleavage of the zygote), while cell growth can occur without cell division to produce a single larger cell (as in growth of neurons). Thus, cell proliferation is not synonymous with either cell growth or cell division, despite these terms sometimes ...

  9. Perinucleolar compartment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perinucleolar_Compartment

    [1] [8] The occurrence of the PNC directly correlates with the growth and metastasis of cancer cells. For example, in a study on Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) , there was a direct parallel between the increased occurrence of PNCs with an increase in metastasis as well as malignant cell lines.
