Cleavage of chromosomal DNA into oligonucleosomal size fragments is an integral part of apoptosis. Elegant biochemical work identified the DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) as a major apoptotic ...

LMW DNA fragmentation. During apoptosis chromatin is cleaved into nucleosomal units; therefore, we can isolate DNA fragments with a size of 200 bp or a multiple thereof from apoptotic cells.

The terminal stages of programmed cell death (apoptosis) can be identified by the condensation of chromatin and fragmentation of the genomic DNA, alongside blebbing of the membrane. As apoptosis ...

To conclude, a practical technique for analyzing DNA fragmentation in apoptosis is provided by TUNEL staining. References. Gao Y et al. Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology 15:94 (2017) ...

The 40-kDa subunit of DNA fragmentation factor induces DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation during apoptosis. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1998;95:8461-8466 Crossref ...

DNA fragmentation by oncosis can be induced by 1% sodium azide, 0.01% Triton X-100 or heat shock at 42C. Such cell can be loaded with carbocyanine dye DiIC1(5) at 40nM to detect lack of mitochondrial ...

Apoptosis is the mechanism by which defective cells promote their own death to protect the body. It is a complex process, with many stages, in which the different parts of the cell gradually degrade.

The selective apoptosis of these early germ cells prevents overproliferation of the cells and selectively aborts abnormal sperm forms.26 Sakkas and colleagues have proposed that some of the ...

A genetically mediated cascade may play a key role in oxidative DNA damage and stress associated with Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy, a study found. "Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy is ...
