Growth Based Morphogenesis of Vertebrate Limb Bud
Many genes and their regulatory relationships are involved in developmental phenomena. However, by chemical information alone, we cannot fully understand changing organ morphologies through tissue growth because deformation and growth of the organ are essentially mechanical processes. Here, we develop a mathematical model to describe the change of organ morphologies through cell proliferation. ...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor 4 Directs Gap Junction Expression in the Mesenchyme of the Vertebrate Limb Bud
Pattern in the developing limb depends on signaling by polarizing region mesenchyme cells, which are located at the posterior margin of the bud tip. Here we address the underlying cellular mechanisms. We show in the intact bud that connexin 43 (Cx43) and Cx32 gap junctions are at higher density between distal posterior mesenchyme cells at the tip of the bud than between either distal anterior o...
متن کاملOriented cell motility and division underlie early limb bud morphogenesis.
The vertebrate limb bud arises from lateral plate mesoderm and its overlying ectoderm. Despite progress regarding the genetic requirements for limb development, morphogenetic mechanisms that generate early outgrowth remain relatively undefined. We show by live imaging and lineage tracing in different vertebrate models that the lateral plate contributes mesoderm to the early limb bud through dir...
متن کاملHox genes and growth: early and late roles in limb bud morphogenesis.
In recent years, molecular analysis has led to the identification of some of the key genes that control the morphogenesis of the developing embryo. Detailed functional analysis of these genes is rapidly leading to a new level of understanding of how embryonic form is regulated. Understanding the roles that these genes play in development can additionally provide insights into the evolution of m...
متن کاملLimb morphogenesis: connections between patterning and growth
Limb development is a complex process involving precise control of both patterning and growth. Great strides have been made in understanding limb morphogenesis and identifying essential patterning genes in Drosophila. Differential expression of these genes divides the future limb into territories, which will give rise to different regions of the adult appendage. Recent analyses have defined the...
