Developing pressures: fluid forces driving morphogenesis
Over several decades genetic studies have unraveled many molecular mechanisms that underlie the signaling networks guiding morphogenesis, but the mechanical forces at work remain much less well understood. Accumulation of fluid within a luminal space can generate outward hydrostatic pressure capable of shaping morphogenesis at several scales, ranging from individual organs to the entire vertebr...
متن کاملActin-based forces driving embryonic morphogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Morphogenesis is the process by which multicellular organisms transform themselves from a ball of cells into an organized animal. Certain virtues of Caenorhabditis elegans make it an excellent model system for the study of this process: it is genetically tractable, develops as a transparent embryo with small cell-numbers, and yet still contains all the major tissues typical of animals. Furtherm...
متن کاملHeartbeat-Driven Pericardiac Fluid Forces Contribute to Epicardium Morphogenesis
BACKGROUND Hydrodynamic forces play a central role in organ morphogenesis. The role of blood flow in shaping the developing heart is well established, but the role of fluid forces generated in the pericardial cavity surrounding the heart is unknown. Mesothelial cells lining the pericardium generate the proepicardium (PE), the precursor cell population of the epicardium, the outer layer covering...
متن کاملDeveloping programs for homeless veterans: understanding driving forces in implementation.
Between 1992 and 2003, services for homeless veterans at the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System went from inappropriate utilization of hospital medical and psychiatric beds, to a continuum of residential treatment, transitional housing, and employment programs through arrangements with private agencies. The authors use elements of Hasenfeld and Brock's Political Economy Mode...
متن کاملForces Driving Chaperone Action
It is still unclear what molecular forces drive chaperone-mediated protein folding. Here, we obtain a detailed mechanistic understanding of the forces that dictate the four key steps of chaperone-client interaction: initial binding, complex stabilization, folding, and release. Contrary to the common belief that chaperones recognize unfolding intermediates by their hydrophobic nature, we discove...
