What the Daughter Inherits

Surface Galectin-3 Taken Up From the Medium Is Lost by Division Rather Than by Turnover in a Galectin-3-Null Carcinoma Subclone

A paper from the School of Settled Matters loads a galectin-3-null subclone of the University's in-house carcinoma line with recombinant lectin, washes the supply away, and follows the surface pool for 96 hours with each cell's division count read from dye dilution. The burden falls 1.94-fold per division and barely at all between divisions, decaying with a 163-hour half-life in density-arrested monolayers, while a lactose-resistant remainder of 6.4% survives five divisions and proves to be intracellular.
