 en Necessary redundancy: regulation and role of type I interferon system during embryogenesis
de la Fuente, Jose; Riego, Eileen; Castro, Fidel O. & Lleonart, Ricardo

Abstract

Type I interferon (IFN) system is involved in the defense of the organism against viral infections and plays an important role in the control of cell growth and differentiation. How this system is regulated during embryogenesis and its role during this critical process are questions addressed in this manuscript. The redundancy, apparently existing in type I IFN system could be the result of a very specialized machinery needed to control the complex process of cell growth and differentiation during development.

Resumen

El sistema interferon (IFN) tipo I participa en la defensa del organismo contra las infecciones virales y juega un papel importante en el control del crecimiento y la diferenciacion celular. Como esta regulado este sistema durante la embriogenesis y cual es su papel durante este critico proceso son preguntas que se tratan en este manuscrito. La aparente redundancia que existe en el sistema IFN tipo I pudiera ser el resultado de una maquinaria altamente especializada necesaria para controlar los complejos procesos involucrados en el crecimiento y la diferenciacion celular durante el desarrollo.
