Normal and abnormal development of the male urogenital tract. Role of androgens, mesenchymal-epithelial interactions, and growth factors.
Androgen-dependent male urogenital development occurs via mesenchymal-epithelial interactions in which mesenchyme induces epithelial morphogenesis, regulates epithelial proliferation, and evokes expression of tissue-specific secretory proteins. Mesenchymal-epithelial interactions continue to be important into adulthood. For example, mesenchyme of the urogenital sinus (UGM) and seminal vesicle (...
متن کاملNormal and abnormal dental development.
Teeth are vertebrate organs that arise from complex and progressive interactions between an ectoderm, the oral epithelium and an underlying mesenchyme. During their early development, tooth germs exhibit many morphological and molecular similarities with other developing epithelial appendages, such as hair follicles, mammary and salivary glands, lungs, kidneys, etc. The developing mouse tooth g...
متن کاملAbnormal development of urogenital organs in Dlgh1-deficient mice.
Dlgh1 (discs large homolog 1) is a mammalian homolog of the Drosophila tumor suppressor Discs large 1, and is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) scaffolding proteins that contain three PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) domains. Discs large 1 is involved in epithelial polarization and cell-cell adhesion complex formation during Drosophila development. However, the functions of Dlgh...
متن کاملUsing Multiple Models to Understand Data
A human’s ability to diagnose errors, gather data, and generate features in order to build better models is largely untapped. We hypothesize that analyzing results from multiple models can help people diagnose errors by understanding relationships among data, features, and algorithms. These relationships might otherwise be masked by the bias inherent to any individual model. We demonstrate this...
متن کاملUsing diffusion models to understand clinical disorders.
Sequential sampling models provide an alternative to traditional analyses of reaction times and accuracy in two-choice tasks. These models are reviewed with particular focus on the diffusion model (Ratcliff, 1978) and how its application can aide research on clinical disorders. The advantages of a diffusion model analysis over traditional comparisons are shown through simulations and a simple l...
