Vertebrate development: Et in Arkadia
The similarities in organiser formation in Xenopus and mouse embryos have remained elusive. Recent evidence suggests a common mechanism, in which an intracellular protein, Arkadia, is required for formation of the mouse organiser and potentiates the effects of the signalling protein Nodal.
متن کاملCentrosome positioning in vertebrate development.
The centrosome, a major organizer of microtubules, has important functions in regulating cell shape, polarity, cilia formation and intracellular transport as well as the position of cellular structures, including the mitotic spindle. By means of these activities, centrosomes have important roles during animal development by regulating polarized cell behaviors, such as cell migration or neurite ...
متن کاملThe homeobox in vertebrate development.
Embryonic development is regulated by a co-ordinated programme ofintraand inter-cellular signals which combine to shape the final body. Each organism contains within its genome a developmental programme allowing the faithful reproduction of the species. It is known that many of the cellular processes involved in organizing the embryo are conserved amongst vertebrates, suggesting that widely div...
متن کاملAutophagy During Vertebrate Development
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic process by which cells degrade their own components through the lysosomal machinery. In physiological conditions, the mechanism is tightly regulated and contributes to maintain a balance between synthesis and degradation in cells undergoing intense metabolic activities. Autophagy is associated with major tissue remodeling processes occurring th...
متن کاملVertebrate left-right development
Significant biological asymmetries range from the differentiation of sides within a single cell to the establishment of embryonic pattern across large fields of cells in multicellular organisms. One of the most intriguing biological asymmetries is left-right asymmetry in vertebrates. All vertebrates display a number of structures that are asymmetric along the left-right geometric body axis. The...
