Cell adhesion and morphogenesis: the regulator hypothesis.
A sequence for the genetic and molecular regulation of morphogenesis is proposed in terms of the regulator hypothesis which is intended to provide a specific molecular framework relating developmental genetics to evolution. The hypothesis derives from an analysis of the interactive morphogenetic roles of the primary processes of cell adhesion, cell movement, and embryonic induction during regul...
متن کاملIntercellular adhesion and cell separation in plants
Adhesion between plant cells is a fundamental feature of plant growth and development, and an essential part of the strategy by which growing plants achieve mechanical strength. Turgor pressure provides non-woody plant tissues with mechanical rigidity and the driving force for growth, but at the same time it generates large forces tending to separate cells. These are resisted by reinforcing zon...
متن کاملThe cadherins: cell-cell adhesion molecules controlling animal morphogenesis.
Cadherins are a family of glycoproteins involved in the Ca2+-dependent cell-cell adhesion mechanism which is detected in most kinds of tissues. Inhibition of the cadherin activity with antibodies induces dissociation of cell layers, indicating a fundamental importance of these molecules in maintaining the multicellular structure. Cadherins are divided into subclasses, including E-, N- and P-cad...
متن کاملA system for modelling cell-cell interactions during plant morphogenesis.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS During the development of multicellular organisms, cells are capable of interacting with each other through a range of biological and physical mechanisms. A description of these networks of cell-cell interactions is essential for an understanding of how cellular activity is co-ordinated in regionalized functional entities such as tissues or organs. The difficulty of experime...
متن کاملCell Adhesion: Separation of p120's Powers?
The catenin p120 is involved in many processes, including cell-cell adhesion and cancer. Recent work explores whether p120 independently regulates two key binding partners, RhoGTPase and cadherin.
