The physiologic processes by which bone tissue is lost.

The processes that maintain the redox environment of a cell or compartment within a cell.

The formation from simpler components of a cuticle, the outer layer of some animals and plants, which acts to prevent water loss.

Any member of a family of heterodimeric transmembrane receptors for cell-adhesion molecules. The alpha and beta subunits are noncovalently bonded.

The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of a muscle fiber.

regulation of S phase of mitotic cell cycle

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the progression through the S phase of mitotic cell cycle.

The chemical reactions involving keratan sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan with repeat units consisting of beta-1,4-linked D-galactopyranosyl-beta-(1,4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-sulfate and with variable amounts of fucose, sialic acid and mannose units; keratan sulfate chains are covalently linked by a glycosidic attachment through the trisaccharide galactosyl-galactosyl-xylose to peptidyl-threonine or serine residues.

double-stranded DNA specific exodeoxyribonuclease activity

Catalysis of the sequential cleavage of mononucleotides from a free 5' or 3' terminus of a double-stranded DNA molecule.

Progression from metaphase to anaphase during mitosis, triggered by the destruction of mitotic cyclins.

A signal transduction-based surveillance mechanism that ensures accurate chromosome segregation by preventing entry into, passage through and exit from mitosis. Events that may be monitored include the formation of a correctly assembled spindle, the position of the spindle pole (centrosome) and the orientation of the spindle and cellular morphogenesis.

A signal transduction based surveillance mechanism that ensures the fidelity of cell division by preventing the premature advance of cells from metaphase to anaphase prior to the successful attachment of kinetochores to spindle microtubules (spindle assembly).

Any process involved in the progression from anaphase/telophase to G1 that is associated with a conversion from high to low mitotic CDK activity.
