Morpho-elasticity of intestinal villi.
Villi are ubiquitous structures in the intestine of all vertebrates, originating from the embryonic development of the epithelial mucosa. Their morphogenesis has similar stages in living organisms but different forming mechanisms. In this work, we model the emergence of the bi-dimensional undulated patterns in the intestinal mucosa from which villi start to elongate. The embryonic mucosa is mod...
متن کاملEffect of hyposmotic challenge on microvillous membrane potential in isolated human placental villi.
This study examined the effect of hyposmotic solutions on the syncytiotrophoblast microvillous membrane potential ( E m) in mature intermediate villi isolated from term human placentas. When villi were exposed to a control solution (280 mosmol/kgH2O; 116 mM NaCl) and then to either a 138-hyposmotic (138 mosmol/kgH2O; 37 mM NaCl) or 170-hyposmotic (170 mosmol/kgH2O; 55 mM NaCl) solution, there w...
متن کاملSpontaneous changes in mitochondrial membrane potential in cultured neurons.
Using the mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m))-sensitive fluorescent dyes 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethylbenzimidazolocarbocyanine iodide (JC-1) and tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester (TMRM), we have observed spontaneous changes in the DeltaPsi(m) of cultured forebrain neurons. These fluctuations in DeltaPsi(m) appear to represent partial, transient depolarizations of indivi...
متن کاملChanges in Rat Intestinal Villi After Challenge with Wheat Protein
Rats reared on normal diet and on a nonwheat protein diet were subjected to an oral dose of a wheat protein mixture. Those reared on rat diet showed no change in the appearance of the intestinal villi, whereas the rats reared on a non-wheat protein diet showed much broadening of the villi, this being more pronounced in the distal intestine. It is suggested that this is due to a "first encounter...
متن کاملIntestinal development. I. Morphogenesis of the villi and musculature.
T H E work of D'Arcy Thompson is a classic example of the insight into morphogenesis that may be gained by a thoughtful consideration of adult form. Even greater insight into the factors underlying morphogenesis might accrue from a detailed study, not only of the adult stage, but also of the intermediate period of development. An attack at this level would, at the very least, yield an account o...
