N-cadherin is required for the polarized cell behaviors that drive neurulation in the zebrafish.
Through the direct analysis of cell behaviors, we address the mechanisms underlying anterior neural tube morphogenesis in the zebrafish and the role of the cell adhesion molecule N-cadherin (N-cad) in this process. We demonstrate that although the mode of neurulation differs at the morphological level between amphibians and teleosts, the underlying cellular mechanisms are conserved. Contrary to...
متن کاملNeurulation: coordinating cell polarisation and lumen formation.
Cell polarisation in development is a common and fundamental process underlying embryo patterning and morphogenesis, and has been extensively studied over the past years. Our current knowledge of cell polarisation in development is predominantly based on studies that have analysed polarisation of single cells, such as eggs, or cellular aggregates with a stable polarising interface, such as cult...
متن کاملSpatial segregation between cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesions.
Cell-cell adhesion (CCA) and cell-matrix adhesion (CMA) play determinant roles in the architecture and function of epithelial cells. CCA and CMA are supported by transmembrane molecular complexes that dynamically interact with the extracellular environment and the cell cytoskeleton. Although those complexes have distinct functions, they are involved in a continuous crosstalk. In epithelia, CCA ...
متن کاملFolate manages cell shape during neurulation.
Patents from papers both basic and applied Public funding for research depends on the idea that the resulting knowledge translates into socially valuable outcomes, such as medicines. Such linkages are easier to assert than to prove. Li et al. studied 27 years of grantlevel funding by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. About 10% of grants are directly cited by patents, suggesting some techn...
متن کاملComponents of cell-matrix adhesions.
Focal adhesions (FAs), also known as ‘focal contacts’, are specialized, extracellular matrix (ECM) attachment and signaling organelles, usually measuring a few square microns, located along the ventral plasma membrane of adherent cultured cells. Interference reflection microscopy, electron microscopy and micro-mechanical measurements indicate that the cell membrane in these sites is tightly con...
