Border cells versus border-like cells: are they alike?

The organization pattern of root border-like cells of Arabidopsis is dependent on cell wall homogalacturonan.

Border-like cells are released by Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) root tips as organized layers of several cells that remain attached to each other rather than completely detached from each other, as is usually observed in border cells of many species. Unlike border cells, cell attachment between border-like cells is maintained after their release into the external environment. To investigat...

Culture and Expansion of Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cells Using the Serum Prepared From Rat’S Peripheral Blood

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of prepared serum from rat peripheral blood on growth and viability of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro. Materials and Methods: Bone marrow cells prepared from rat’s tibia and femur central canal were cultured either in medium containing fetal bovin serum (FBS) or rat peripheral blood-derived serum (PBDS) f...

Consistency of Border-Ownership Cells across Artificial Stimuli, Natural Stimuli, and Stimuli with Ambiguous Contours.

Segmentation and recognition of objects in a visual scene are two problems that are hard to solve separately from each other. When segmenting an ambiguous scene, it is helpful to already know the present objects and their shapes. However, for recognizing an object in clutter, one would like to consider its isolated segment alone to avoid confounds from features of other objects. Border-ownershi...

Border Disease Control Checkpoints: Are They Sufficient for Disease Control? The Present Situation in Thailand

The Ste20 kinase misshapen is essential for the invasive behaviour of ovarian epithelial cells in Drosophila.

Stationary-to-migratory transitions of epithelial cells have a key role in development and tumour progression. Border cell migration is a powerful system in which to investigate this transition in living organisms. Here, we identify the Ste20-like kinase misshapen (msn) as a novel regulator of border-cell migration in Drosophila. Expression of msn in border cells is independent of the transcrip...
