Cell Shape in Proliferating Epithelia: A Multifaceted Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
A specific and unexpected distribution pattern of polygonal cell shapes in proliferating epithelia is revealed in a recent study that combines mathematical modeling with experimental data (Gibson et. al., 2006). This pattern is conserved in epithelia from diverse species, suggesting that this distribution is a fundamental property of proliferating epithelial sheets.

Modeling and Inferring Cleavage Patterns in Proliferating Epithelia
The regulation of cleavage plane orientation is one of the key mechanisms driving epithelial morphogenesis. Still, many aspects of the relationship between local cleavage patterns and tissue-level properties remain poorly understood. Here we develop a topological model that simulates the dynamics of a 2D proliferating epithelium from generation to generation, enabling the exploration of a wide ...

The morphogenetic role of the acid mucopolysaccharide (glycosaminoglycan) at the epithelial surface of mouse embryo submandibular glands has been studied by comparing the in vitro morphogenesis of epithelia from which the mucopolysaccharide was removed with that of those that retained the mucopolysaccharide. Epithelia isolated free of mesenchyme by procedures which retain the bulk of surface mu...

Regulation of cell growth and cell division has a fundamental role in tissue formation, organ development, and cancer progression. Remarkable similarities in the topological distributions were found in a variety of proliferating epithelia in both animals and plants. At the same time, there are species with significantly varied frequency of hexagonal cells. Moreover, local topology has been show...

Background: Infertility problem affect more than 15% of young couples in different societies. One of the known causes of ovulation disorder is chemotherapy in patients with cancer. This side effect may last from ten years up to the end of the life. Since anticancer drugs are mainly insert their effect through decreasing of cell proliferation, the aim of the present study is to investigate, anti...
متن کاملTopological Progression in Proliferating Epithelia Is Driven by a Unique Variation in Polygon Distribution
Morphogenesis is consequence of lots of small coordinated variations that occur during development. In proliferating stages, tissue growth is coupled to changes in shape and organization. A number of studies have analyzed the topological properties of proliferating epithelia using the Drosophila wing disc as a model. These works are based in the existence of a fixed distribution of these epithe...
