All mature blood cells arise from primitive hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow, the pluripotent stem cells. Approximately 0.1% of the nucleated cells of the bone marrow are pluripotent stem cells and approximately 5% of these cells may be actively cycling at any one time. The stem cell pool maintains itself through a process of asymmetrical cell division when a stem cell divides, one daughter cell remains a stem cell and the other becomes a committed colony-forming cell (CFC). The proliferation and differentiation of CFCs are controlled by hematopoietic growth factors. The hematopoietic growth factors stimulate cell division, differentiation and maturation, and convert the dividing cells into a population of terminally differentiated functional cells. 

McMahon Also, if the signals that are regulating growth come from a fixed position, and the system is growing in response to that, then cells are being pushed from that position and can commit to terminal fates. So you only have to control very locally the action of a local proliferative signal. 

Visceral Fetal Examinations. The examination of the abdominal and thoracic viscera of fetuses is performed either fresh without fixation ( Staples technique ) or after Bouin s fixation by making freehand razor blade sections ( Wilson s technique Wilson, 1965). Both techniques have advantages. The fresh examination technique, which may require less training for thorough proficiency, provides a more easily interpreted view of heart anomalies. The examination must be performed on the day the dam is terminated, however, so having a large number of litters to examine in one day requires that a large team of workers be committed to the task. 

The vulnerability of the professional employee to unfair termination has finally been recognized, however, and is illustrated by abusive discharge cases, of which I shall now mention three. In a 1959 California case called Peterman vs. Teamster Local 296 (2), the court reinstated an employee who had been fired for failing to commit perjury when solicited to do so by the employer. In that case the court said ... 

In 1953, a patent was applied for covering both the synthesis of PP and PE under the trade name of Marlex. Even after a material is discovered many steps are needed before a product becomes available to the general public. Management was getting glowing reports about the potential for these new materials. Based on these assessments, 50 million was committed for the construction of a large-scale PE plant at Adams Terminal. 

Most patients with medical disorders who commit suicide, even those with terminal disorders, have concurrent treatable major depression. In addition, the type of medical condition may increase risk. Thus, patients with respiratory diseases are three times more likely to commit suicide than patients with other medical conditions. Those on hemodialysis or who suffer from cancer also constitute high-risk groups, in comparison with the general population.

Bacterial RNA polymerase requires a special subunit to recognize the promoter. As the first committed step in transcription, binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter and initiation of transcription are closely regulated. Transcription stops at sequences called terminators. 

Figure 7.4 Activation of PARP-1 by DNA breaks. PARP-1 is composed of three domains, DNA binding, automodification and catalytic (NAD+ binding) domains (1). In cells, PARP-1 localizes to nucleoli and actively transcribed regions of chromatin by interacting with RNA. When PARP-1 binds to DNA breaks, PARP-1 initiates the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reaction by using NAD+ as its substrate (2). PARP-1 itself is the main target of the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reaction. ADP-ribose polymers are formed on the automodification domain of PARP-1 (automodification). As a consequence of automodification, PARP-1 dissociates from DNA breaks (3). When cells are committed to apoptosis, PARP-1 is specifically cleaved by an apoptosisspecilic protease, caspase-3, resulting in the formation of a 24kDa N-terminal and 89 kDa C-terminal fragments (4). (see Color Plate 7)...

The stratum corneum consists of denucleated corneocytes filled with cross-linked proteins, while the intercellular space is occupied by lipids synthesized prior to and during cornification [24], Formation of this barrier relies on the cornification of epidermal keratinocytes, which undergo growth arrest, terminal differentiation, and an epidermal-specific cell death, referred to as planned cell death [25], Abnormalities in any of these programmed events may lead to epidermal disorders such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and cancer. Flowever, biological events that enable basal cells (stem cells) to proliferate, differentiate, and commit planned cell death are still poorly understood [10]. The keratinocyte differentiation process can be stimulated by prodifferentiation agents such as extracellular calcium and 1,25-dihydroxy cholecalciferol (referred to as vitamin D3 hereafter) [23], Aberrant or absent differentiation can be found in other skin disorders such as atopic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, and rosacea. 

The busy witness Korber was at it again on May 26, 1993, this time to assert that the references to the Rudolf Report in various editions of the Renter Depesche proved that the author Rudolf was the cause. Korber also claimed that Rudolf s attempt to testify as an expert witness, which was refused by the court, constituted conspiracy to commit perjury.650 On June 7, 1993, he repeated his accusations that Rudolf had instigated Remer to his misdeeds in the Renter Depesche, and offered evidence that would defer the possible termination of the investigation.651...

Fig. 6.11 The way is shown from a pluripotent stem cell to a multipotent, uncommitted colony-forming cell, to a committed colony-forming cell (CFO with an already restricted repertoire, and finally to a terminally differentiated blood cell. (For more information, see also ref. 30.)...

Canonical denitrifiers are mainly facultative anaerobes that can modify their electron transport system to accommodate N-oxides as the terminal electron acceptor for organic carbon oxidation. However, commitment with the oxidation of proteins to CO2 and H2O is the liberation of the amino group as NH " ". Thus, canonical denitrification should be accompanied by the build up of NH " " concentrations, but...
