Editorial overview: Developmental mechanisms, patterning and evolution: New models for genetics and development - diversity at last.
It no longer seems heretical to assert that our long-lasting and prevailing focus on a handful of animal model systems has been too reductionist. We will not understand life if we keep ignoring most of the existing diversity — there is more to learn about molecular biology, cell biology, neurobiology and developmental biology than the mouse, Drosophila or nematode worm can tell us. From an evol...
متن کاملChromosomes and Expression Mechanisms Editorial Overview
Introduction Whether one considers a single cell or a multicellular organism, a complex and precisely coordinated series of regulatory events and communications is required to ensure its proper configuration and function. One of the major goals in biology is to understand how cells differentiate into specific types to perform their roles in vivo. Genome sequencing projects have produced enormou...
متن کاملLaminin α5 guides tissue patterning and organogenesis
Laminins (LM) are extracellular matrix molecules that contribute to and are required for the formation of basement membranes. They participate in the modulation of epithelial/mesenchymal interactions and are implicated in organogenesis and maintenance of organ homeostasis. Among the LM molecules, the LM α5 chain (LMα5) is one of the most widely distributed LM in the developing and mature organi...
متن کاملAn Overview of Calcium, Mechanisms and Necessities
Today, promoting quality of life and paying more attention to nutrition and health are among the major issues of international debate and governments' strategies to improve people's quality of life in different societies. There have also been extensive studies to improve nutrition and its relationship with health. The pattern of food consumption is different in most countries, different social ...
متن کاملDevelopmental mechanisms patterning thalamocortical projections: intrinsic, extrinsic and in between.
Roger Sperry proposed 40 years ago that topographic neural connections are established through complementary expression of chemoaffinity labels in projecting neurons and their final targets. This led to the identification of ephrins as key molecular cues controlling the topography of retinotectal projections. Recent studies have revealed a surprising twist to this model, shedding light on the d...
