I-19: Surrogate Egg Shell Culture for The Analysis of Avian Stem Cell Fate
Background: The chick embryo is a classical model to study embryonic development. However, most researchers have not studied the effect of embryonic manipulation on chick hatchability. To determine the effect of egg orientation and type of sealing film on the hatchability of cultured embryos, and to determine the fate of adulte stem cells injected into the blastoderm. Materials and Methods: Win...
متن کاملA new century of amphibian developmental biology.
Amphibian embryology has a long, rich history tracing back more than century in the recorded literature. Newt, salamander and frog embryos collected in the wild and subject to the keen minds and crafty hands of early embryologists yielded some of the most important first principals of developmental biology, including those of fate maps, egg polarity, embryo polarity, the concept of specificatio...
متن کاملMelanophores: Smooth Muscle Cells in Disguise
Melanophores are specialized cells derived from the neural crest that contain membrane bound vesicles called melanosomes. Melanosomes are filled with melanin, a dark, nonfluorescent pigment that plays a principal role in physiological color adaptation of animals. Melanophores regulate melanosome trafficking on cytoskeletal filaments to generate a range of striking chromatic patterns. The mechan...
متن کاملThe role of Rab27a in the regulation of melanosome distribution within retinal pigment epithelial cells.
Melanosomes within the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of mammals have long been thought to exhibit no movement in response to light, unlike fish and amphibian RPE. Here we show that the distribution of melanosomes within the mouse RPE undergoes modest but significant changes with the light cycle. Two hours after light onset, there is a threefold increase in the number of melanosomes in the ap...
متن کاملUltrastructural characterization of melanosomes of the human pathogenic fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi.
Melanin is a complex polymer widely distributed in nature and has been described as an important virulence factor in pathogenic fungi. In the majority of fungi, the mechanism of melanin formation remains unclear. In Fonsecaea pedrosoi, the major etiologic agent of chromoblastomycosis, melanin is stored in intracellular vesicles, named melanosomes. This paper details the ultrastructural aspects ...
