  2. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    In terms of anatomy, V2 is split into four quadrants, a dorsal and ventral representation in the left and the right hemispheres. Together, these four regions provide a complete map of the visual world. V2 has many properties in common with V1: Cells are tuned to simple properties such as orientation, spatial frequency, and color.

  3. WI-38 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WI-38

    The WI-38 cell line stemmed from earlier work by Hayflick growing human cell cultures. [2]In the early 1960s, Hayflick and his colleague Paul Moorhead at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania discovered that when normal human cells were stored in a freezer, the cells remembered the doubling level at which they were stored and, when reconstituted, began to divide from that level to ...

  4. Hayflick limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayflick_limit

    As the cell divides, the telomeres on the ends of chromosomes shorten. The Hayflick limit is the limit on cell replication imposed by the shortening of telomeres with each division. This end stage is known as cellular senescence. The Hayflick limit has been found to correlate with the length of the telomeric region at the end of chromosomes.

  5. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    The terminal cell elongates more than the deeper cells; then the production of a lateral bisector takes place in the inner fluid, which tends to divide the cell into two parts, of which the deeper one remains stationary, while the terminal part elongates again, forms a new inner partition, and so on.

  6. Immortalised cell line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortalised_cell_line

    Immortal cell lines are a very important tool for research into the biochemistry and cell biology of multicellular organisms. Immortalised cell lines have also found uses in biotechnology . An immortalised cell line should not be confused with stem cells , which can also divide indefinitely, but form a normal part of the development of a ...

  7. Two-domain system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-domain_system

    The two-domain system is a biological classification by which all organisms in the tree of life are classified into two domains, Bacteria and Archaea. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It emerged from development of knowledge of archaea diversity and challenges the widely accepted three-domain system that classifies life into Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya . [ 4 ]

  8. Firing squad synchronization problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_squad...

    More formally, the problem concerns cellular automata, arrays of finite-state machines called cells arranged in a line, such that at each time step each machine transitions to a new state as a function of its previous state and the states of its two neighbors in the line. For the firing squad problem, the line consists of a finite number of ...

  9. Splitting storm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splitting_storm

    [2]: 234 [3] [1]: 220 [4]: 289 Once a storm splits into two, the left-splitting storm tends to move in a direction left of the mean wind shear direction, while the right-splitting moves right of the mean wind shear direction. The split storms are known as left movers and right movers due to this behavior. The resulting left or right motion ...
