Embryonic chick corneal epithelium: a model system for exploring cell-matrix interactions.
In her initial research, Elizabeth D. Hay studied amphibian limb regeneration, but later switched her focus, and for the remainder of her career addressed the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in regulating embryonic morphogenesis. Much of that work used the embryonic chick corneal epithelial model. This review highlights many of the discoveries that she made using this model. Hay was the ...
متن کاملVacuoles in the Embryonic Chick Corneal Epithelium, an Epithelium Which Produces Collagen
Studies on a variety of cells which excrete protein have established that synthesis of the protein occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and that subsequent concentration, storage, and excretion occur via the Golgi apparatus (see Beams and Kessel, 1968 for review) . Ultrastructural radioautographie studies on the mode of collagen excretion, however, have been variously interpreted in respect to t...
متن کاملA model system for studying metastasis using the embryonic chick.
An assay capable of recovering individual viable rodent cells localized in various organs of the chick embryo is described. This assay is based on the differential sensitivity of chick and rodent cells to the cytotoxic drug ouabain. Utilizing this assay, the potential of the chick embryo as a model system for studying metastasis was examined. Several cell lines were characterized in three ways:...
متن کاملScanning electron microscopy of the developing chick anterior corneal epithelium.
The anterior corneal epithelium of the developing chick was observed with the scanning electron microscope at various stages of development. In the earlier stages, up to about 15 days of incubation, the cells are characterized by regular polygonal outlines and a proliferation of microvilli on the surface. The microvilli then begin to coalesce and flatten so that the surface is rather smooth by ...
متن کاملCell Elongation in the Cultured Embryonic Chick Lens Epithelium with and without Protein Synthesis
Previous studies have shown that cells in the 6-day old embryonic chick lens epithelium elongate in tissue culture. In the present study, the time course of elongation during the 1st day of cultivation has been examined histologically. Cultured epithelia were also treated with cycloheximide or colchicine in order to determine if cell elongation depends on new protein synthesis and on the utiliz...
