Generating tissue topology through remodeling of cell-cell adhesions.
During tissue morphogenesis, cellular rearrangements give rise to a large variety of three-dimensional structures. Final tissue architecture varies greatly across organs, and many develop to include combinations of folds, tubes, and branched networks. To achieve these different tissue geometries, constituent cells must follow different programs that dictate changes in shape and/or migratory beh...
متن کاملKIF17 regulates RhoA-dependent actin remodeling at epithelial cell-cell adhesions.
The kinesin KIF17 localizes at microtubule plus-ends where it contributes to regulation of microtubule stabilization and epithelial polarization. We now show that KIF17 localizes at cell-cell adhesions and that KIF17 depletion inhibits accumulation of actin at the apical pole of cells grown in 3D organotypic cultures and alters the distribution of actin and E-cadherin in cells cultured in 2D on...
متن کاملEthics of Tissue and Stem Cell Transplantation
Tissue and cell transplantation are regarded as a popular procedure in clinical sciences, prospecting a new horizon for several incurable diseases. Along with its usefulness, many ethical concerns accompany this development. The ethical issue of organ transplant is unique to the source used which includes: living related, living unrelated, cadaveric, and xenotransplant. Obtaining organs has a s...
متن کاملRevolutionizing Tissue Engineering through Mirroring Cell Niche and Application of Natural Compounds
onsidering the high prevalence of severe organ failures due to the cancer, congenital anomaly, or trauma, and the consequent needs for tissue transplantation, deficiencies in tissues and organs are a huge challenge for regenerative medicine at the moment. More than 40 years have passed since the term ‘tissue engineering’ was created as a new th...
متن کاملComponents of cell-matrix adhesions.
Focal adhesions (FAs), also known as ‘focal contacts’, are specialized, extracellular matrix (ECM) attachment and signaling organelles, usually measuring a few square microns, located along the ventral plasma membrane of adherent cultured cells. Interference reflection microscopy, electron microscopy and micro-mechanical measurements indicate that the cell membrane in these sites is tightly con...
