Tip-Cell Migration Controls Stalk-Cell Intercalation during Drosophila Tracheal Tube Elongation
BACKGROUND Branching morphogenesis remodels epithelial tissues into tubular networks. This process is crucial to many organs, from the insect trachea to the vertebrate vasculature. Although Drosophila tracheal development has been well characterized morphologically and genetically, very little is known about the forces involved during morphogenesis. The repertoire of cell behaviors underlying t...
متن کاملModels of convergent extension during morphogenesis
Convergent extension (CE) is a fundamental and conserved collective cell movement that forms elongated tissues during embryonic development. Thus far, studies have demonstrated two different mechanistic models of collective cell movements during CE. The first, termed the crawling mode, was discovered in the process of notochord formation in Xenopus laevis embryos, and has been the established m...
متن کاملClaudins are essential for cell shape changes and convergent extension movements during neural tube closure
During neural tube closure, regulated changes at the level of individual cells are translated into large-scale morphogenetic movements to facilitate conversion of the flat neural plate into a closed tube. Throughout this process, the integrity of the neural epithelium is maintained via cell interactions through intercellular junctions, including apical tight junctions. Members of the claudin fa...
متن کاملCalcium signaling during convergent extension in Xenopus
BACKGROUND During Xenopus gastrulation, cell intercalation drives convergent extension of dorsal tissues. This process requires the coordination of motility throughout a large population of cells. The signaling mechanisms that regulate these movements in space and time remain poorly understood. RESULTS To investigate the potential contribution of calcium signaling to the control of morphogene...
متن کاملA central role for decorin during vertebrate convergent extension.
Decorin, an archetypal member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan gene family, regulates collagen fibrillogenesis and cell growth. To further explore its biological function, we examined the role of Decorin during zebrafish development. Zebrafish Decorin is a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that exhibits a high degree of conservation with its mammalian counterpart and displays a unique spat...
