Cellular Adaptation — General Pathology

General Pathology · Basic Sciences

How it begins

Las células viven en un ambiente dinámico que impone demandas fisiológicas variables y exposición continua a estímulos potencialmente nocivos. Ante estas circunstancias, las células eucariotas han desarrollado un repertorio de respuestas denominadas adaptaciones celulares : cambios reversibles en tamaño, número, fenotipo, actividad metabólica o función de las células que les permiten sobrevivir y mantener su…
