In this issue of Developmental Cell, Chaudhari and colleagues (2016) use a novel method to create an in vitro proliferative cell line from tumorous C. elegans germ cells, and in the process discover that bacterial folates act as signals for proliferation, independent of their roles as vitamins.
在本期《发育细胞》中,Chaudhari 及其同事(2016 年)利用一种新方法从肿瘤性秀丽隐杆线虫生殖细胞中创建了一种体外增殖细胞系,并在这一过程中发现细菌叶酸作为增殖信号发挥作用,而与其作为维生素的作用无关。
