Cell Shape in Proliferating Epithelia: A Multifaceted Problem
A specific and unexpected distribution pattern of polygonal cell shapes in proliferating epithelia is revealed in a recent study that combines mathematical modeling with experimental data (Gibson et. al., 2006). This pattern is conserved in epithelia from diverse species, suggesting that this distribution is a fundamental property of proliferating epithelial sheets.
متن کاملCell topology, geometry, and morphogenesis in proliferating epithelia.
Epithelia are sheets of tightly adherent cells that line both internal and external surfaces in a vast array of metazoans. During development, an intrinsic consequence of coupling tight adhesion with cellular proliferation is the emergence of an epithelial form characterized by a stereotyped distribution of polygonal cell shapes. Despite the near universality of this constraint on cell shape an...
متن کاملObesity: A Growing Multifaceted Problem.
One major problem of obesity is its common association with arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and diabetes in the metabolic syndrome context3,4. The adipose tissue plays a relevant role in the secretion of inflammatory and humoral mediators, which can favor the increase in blood pressure and insulin resistance5. This area has witnessed several advances, mainly related to e...
متن کاملModeling and Inferring Cleavage Patterns in Proliferating Epithelia
The regulation of cleavage plane orientation is one of the key mechanisms driving epithelial morphogenesis. Still, many aspects of the relationship between local cleavage patterns and tissue-level properties remain poorly understood. Here we develop a topological model that simulates the dynamics of a 2D proliferating epithelium from generation to generation, enabling the exploration of a wide ...
متن کاملMedical malpractice insurance: a multifaceted problem.
I laud Dr. DeMaria’s efforts in summarizing the issues surrounding the medical malpractice crisis in the November issue of the Journal (1). However, I am struck by the lack of courage of state medical licensing boards in not advocating for stronger laws, policies, and procedures to focus on the 5% of physicians responsible for 50% malpractice payouts. Whereas the medical profession should be co...
