Regulation of Bone Marrow Angiogenesis by Osteoblasts during Bone Development and Homeostasis
Bone marrow is a highly heterogeneous and vascularized tissue. The various cell types populating the bone marrow extensively communicate with each other, and cell-to-cell cross talk is likely to be essential for proper bone development and homeostasis. In particular, the existence of osteogenesis and angiogenesis coupling has been recently proposed. Despite its high degree of vascularization, a...
متن کاملAuxin metabolism and homeostasis during plant development.
Auxin plays important roles during the entire life span of a plant. This small organic acid influences cell division, cell elongation and cell differentiation, and has great impact on the final shape and function of cells and tissues in all higher plants. Auxin metabolism is not well understood but recent discoveries, reviewed here, have started to shed light on the processes that regulate the ...
متن کاملMicrotubule assembly during mitosis - from distinct origins to distinct functions?
The mitotic spindle is structurally and functionally defined by its main component, the microtubules (MTs). The MTs making up the spindle have various functions, organization and dynamics: astral MTs emanate from the centrosome and reach the cell cortex, and thus have a major role in spindle positioning; interpolar MTs are the main constituent of the spindle and are key for the establishment of...
متن کاملTissue specific regulation of VEGF expression during bone development requires Cbfa1/Runx2
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a critical regulator of angiogenesis during development, but little is known about the factors that control its expression. We provide the first example of tissue specific loss of VEGF expression as a result of targeting a single gene, Cbfa1/Runx2. During endochondral bone formation, invasion of blood vessels into cartilage is associated with upregul...

24 SWR1-type nucleosome remodeling factors replace histone H2A by variants to endow chromatin lo25 cally with specialized functionality. In Drosophila melanogaster a single H2A variant, H2A.V, com26 bines functions of mammalian H2A.Z and H2A.X in transcription regulation and DNA damage re27 sponse. A major role in H2A.V incorporation for the only SWR1-like enzyme in flies, Domino, is 28 assumed...
