The Caenorhabditis elegans vulva: a post-embryonic gene regulatory network controlling organogenesis.
The Caenorhabditis elegans vulva is an elegant model for dissecting a gene regulatory network (GRN) that directs postembryonic organogenesis. The mature vulva comprises seven cell types (vulA, vulB1, vulB2, vulC, vulD, vulE, and vulF), each with its own unique pattern of spatial and temporal gene expression. The mechanisms that specify these cell types in a precise spatial pattern are not well ...
متن کاملA Gene Regulatory Network for Cell Differentiation in Caenorhabditis elegans
Biological development is a remarkably complex process. A single cell, in an appropriate environment, contains enough information to produce a wide variety of specialised cell types, whose spatial and temporal dynamics interact to form intricately detailed patterns and behaviour. Much of the complexity of a developing system lies in the dynamics of gene regulation that occur within each cell. W...
متن کاملFormation of the vulva in Caenorhabditis elegans: a paradigm for organogenesis.
The genes involved in the inductive interactions that specify cell fates in the vulva of Caenorhabditis elegans are known in some detail. However, little is known about the morphogenesis of this organ. Using a combination of cell biological and anatomical approaches, we have determined a complete morphogenetic pathway of cellular events that lead to the formation of the vulva. These events incl...
متن کاملMorphogenesis of the caenorhabditis elegans vulva.
Understanding how cells move, change shape, and alter cellular behaviors to form organs, a process termed morphogenesis, is one of the great challenges of developmental biology. Formation of the Caenorhabditis elegans vulva is a powerful, simple, and experimentally accessible model for elucidating how morphogenetic processes produce an organ. In the first step of vulval development, three epith...
متن کاملOrganogenesis of the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine.
The intestine of Caenorhabditis elegans is an epithelial tube consisting of only 20 cells and is derived clonally from a single embryonic blastomere called E. We describe the cellular events that shape the intestine. These events include cytoplasmic polarization of cells in the intestinal primordium, the intercalation of specific sets of cells, the generation of an extracellular cavity within t...
