Integrins and cell-fate determination.
All cellular processes are determined by adhesive interactions between cells and their local microenvironment. Integrins, which constitute one class of cell-adhesion receptor, are multifunctional proteins that link cells to the extracellular matrix and organise integrin adhesion complexes at the cell periphery. Integrin-based adhesions provide anchor points for assembling and organising the cyt...
متن کاملCell lineage and determination of cell fate in ascidian embryos.
A detailed cell lineage of ascidian embryos has been available since the turn of the century. This cell lineage was deduced from the segregation of pigmented egg cytoplasmic regions into particular blastomeres during embryogenesis. The invariant nature of the cell lineage, the segregation of specific egg cytoplasmic regions into particular blastomeres, and the autonomous development of most emb...
متن کاملCell fate determination in the vertebrate retina.
The vertebrate retina is a well-characterized and tractable model for studying neurogenesis. Retinal neurons and glia are generated in a conserved sequence from a pool of multipotent progenitor cells, and numerous cell fate determinants for the different classes of retinal cell types have been identified. Here, we summarize several recent developments in the field that have advanced understandi...
متن کاملMicroRNA-449 in cell fate determination.
The microRNAs 449a, b, and c (miR-449) are potent inducers of cell death, cell cycle arrest, and/or cell differentiation. They belong to the same family as the p53-responsive microRNAs miR-34. Instead of p53, however, the cell cycle regulatory transcription factor E2F1 induces miR-449. All members of this microRNA family are capable of mediating cell cycle arrest and apoptosis and might thereby...
متن کاملCell fate determination in embryonic ectoderm.
During gastrulation in vertebrates the cells of the embryonic ectoderm give rise to epidermal progenitors in the ventral side and neural progenitors in the dorsal side. Despite many years of scrutiny, the molecular basis of these important embryonic cell fate decisions have not been solved. Only recently have we witnessed swift progress in the quest for factors involved in neural and epidermal ...
