Protein gradients in single cells induced by"morphogen"-like diffusion
One of the many ways cells transmit information within their volume is through steady spatial gradients of different proteins. However, the mechanism through which such single-cell gradients form is not yet fully understood. We first demonstrate that one of the models for gradient formation, based on differential diffusion, is limited to proteins with large ratios of their diffusion constants o...
متن کاملInteraction of Turing patterns with an external linear morphogen gradient
We investigate a simple generic model of a reaction–diffusion system consisting of an activator and an inhibitor molecule in the presence of a linear morphogen gradient. We assume that this morphogen gradient is established independently of the reaction–diffusion system and acts by increasing the production of the activator proportional to the morphogen concentration. The model is motivated by ...
متن کاملScaling of morphogen gradients.
Individuals of the same or closely related species can vary substantially in size. Still, the proportions within and between tissues are precisely kept. This adaptation of pattern with size termed scaling, is receiving a growing attention. We review experimental evidence for scaling, and describe theoretical models for mechanisms that scale morphogen gradients. We particularly note the Expansio...
متن کاملRegulation of organ growth by morphogen gradients.
Morphogen gradients play a fundamental role in organ patterning and organ growth. Unlike their role in patterning, their function in regulating the growth and the size of organs is poorly understood. How and why do morphogen gradients exert their mitogenic effects to generate uniform proliferation in developing organs, and by what means can morphogens impinge on the final size of organs? The de...
متن کاملMorphogen Gradients: Expand and Repress
An expansion-repression mechanism by which morphogen gradients can adjust to size and growth had been postulated as a model. Now, its molecular nature has been uncovered.
