FGF Signaling Regulates Cytoskeletal Remodeling during Epithelial Morphogenesis
Changes in the cytoskeletal architecture underpin the dynamic changes in tissue shape that occur during development. It is clear that such changes must be coordinated so that individual cell behaviors are synchronized; however, the mechanisms by which morphogenesis is instructed and coordinated are unknown. After its induction in non-neural ectoderm, the inner ear undergoes morphogenesis, being...
متن کاملCervical prolapse during pregnancy.
The occurrence of cervical prolapse during pregnancy is uncommon. Fewer than 245 cases have been reported in the literature, and only 5 have been reported since 1968.3 Most cases were reported before 1900. In 1941 Keettel reported only 1 case in 13,000 deliveries, and in 1944 KibeI reported a ratio of 1 in 15,696 deliveries. The incidence of uterine prolapse in India is much more common, estima...
متن کاملHedgehog signaling regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition during biliary fibrosis in rodents and humans.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) play an important role in tissue construction during embryogenesis, and evidence suggests that this process may also help to remodel some adult tissues after injury. Activation of the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway regulates EMT during development. This pathway is also induced by chronic biliary injury, a condition in which EMT has been suggested to ha...
متن کاملConformational remodeling of the fibronectin matrix selectively regulates VEGF signaling.
The fibronectin matrix plays a crucial role in the regulation of angiogenesis during development, tissue repair and pathogenesis. Previous work has identified a fibronectin-derived homophilic binding peptide, anastellin, as an effective inhibitor of angiogenesis; however, its mechanism of action is not well understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that anastellin selectively inhibits mi...
متن کاملVEGF regulates remodeling during permanent anatomic closure of the ductus arteriosus.
Anatomic remodeling and permanent closure of the newborn ductus arteriosus appears to require the development of intense hypoxia within the constricted vessel wall. Hypoxic ductus smooth muscle cells express vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF). We studied premature baboons and sheep to determine the effects of VEGF inhibition (in baboons) and VEGF stimulation (in sheep) on ductus rem...
