Unreferenced date December 2009 image Phragmoplast.png thumb 300px Phragmoplast and cell plate formation in a plant cell during cytokinesis. Left side Phragmoplast forms and cell plate starts to assemble in the center of the cell. Toawards the right Phragmoplast enlarges in a donut shape towards the outside of the cell, leaving behind mature cell plate in the center. The cell plate will transform into the new cell wall once cytokinesis is complete. Cytokinesis in terrestrial plant s occurs by cell plate formation. This process entails the delivery of Golgi apparatus Golgi derived and endosomal vesicles carrying cell wall and cell membrane components to the plane of cell division and the subsequent fusion of these vesicles within this plate. After formation of an early tubulo vesicular network at the center of the cell, the initially labile cell plate consolidates into a tubular network and eventually a fenestrated sheet. The cell plate grows outward from the center of the cell to the parental plasma membrane with which it will fuse, thus completing cell division . Formation and growth of the cell plate is dependent upon the phragmoplast , which is required for proper targeting of Golgi apparatus Golgi derived vesicles to the cell plate. As the cell plate matures in the central part of the cell, the phragmoplast disassembles in this region and new elements are added on its outside. This process leads to a steady expansion of the phragmoplast and, concomitantly, to a continuous retargeting of Golgi apparatus Golgi derived vesicles to the growing edge of the cell plate. Once the cell ... that transform the callose rich, flexible cell plate into a cellulose rich, stiff primary cell wall . The heavy dependence of cell plate formation on active Golgi apparatus Golgi stacks explains why plant cell s, unlike mammalian cells, do not disassemble their secretion machinery during cell division.

Large cell is a term used in oncology . It does not refer to a particular type of cell rather it refers to cells that are larger than would be normally expected for that type. It is frequently used when describing lymphoma and lung cancer . It was more frequently used in the past than it is used today, when doctors often could tell little about a cell other than its size, and it was used for classification systems such as the Working Formulation for lymphoma. As such, the term lives on in the names of many conditions, even when the size of the cell is no longer one of the most important diagnostic criteria. The phrase giant cell is also frequently used, especially with carcinoma . Giant cell tumors include giant cell tumor of bone and giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath . ref MeshName Giant Cell Tumors ref See also nosology anaplastic large cell lymphoma References reflist External links http www.mayoclinic.com health cancer AN00654 FORCESSL false& Overview at Mayo Clinic http chemo.net large.htm Large Cell and Giant Cell MeshName Carcinoma, Giant Cell Category Diseases and disorders disease stub de Riesenzelle ... more details
