متن کاملConductance Ratios and Cellular Identity
Recent experimental evidence suggests that coordinated expression of ion channels plays a role in constraining neuronal electrical activity. In particular, each neuronal cell type of the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion exhibits a unique set of positive linear correlations between ionic membrane conductances. These data suggest a causal relationship between expressed conductance correlations ...
متن کاملCellular identity and lineage choice.
In multicellular organisms, cells usually respond to signals that they encounter in a manner that depends on their particular lineage 'identity'. In other words, cells that have identical genomes can respond in markedly different ways to the same stimulus, with the outcome being determined largely by the previous developmental history of the cell. This general observation implies that individua...
متن کاملThe Thomas Hodgkin portraits: a case of mistaken identity.
Despite his fame as a physician and social reformer, relatively few portraits of Thomas Hodgkin, MD (1798-1866), have been published. Two oil paintings, identified by the Hodgkin family as their forebear, have been a puzzle.' The faces are remarkably dissimilar. One portrait hangs in the Gordon Museum at Guy's Hospital Medical School, its artist heretofore unknown (plate 1). It shows Dr Hodgkin...
متن کاملTransorganogenesis and transdifferentiation in C. elegans are dependent on differentiated cell identity.
The differentiated cell identities and structure of fully formed organs are generally stable after their development. In contrast, we report here that development of the C. elegans proximal somatic gonad (hermaphrodite uterus and spermathecae, and male vas deferens) can be redirected into intestine-like organs by brief expression of the ELT-7 GATA transcription factor. This process converts one...
