Four-dimensional realistic modeling of pancreatic organogenesis.
Organogenesis, the process by which organs develop from individual precursor stem cells, requires that the precursor cells proliferate, differentiate, and aggregate to form a functioning structure. This process progresses through changes in 4 dimensions: time and 3 dimensions of space-4D. Experimental analysis of organogenesis, by its nature, cuts the 4D developmental process into static, 2D hi...
متن کاملPancreatic Mesenchyme Regulates Epithelial Organogenesis throughout Development
The developing pancreatic epithelium gives rise to all endocrine and exocrine cells of the mature organ. During organogenesis, the epithelial cells receive essential signals from the overlying mesenchyme. Previous studies, focusing on ex vivo tissue explants or complete knockout mice, have identified an important role for the mesenchyme in regulating the expansion of progenitor cells in the ear...
متن کاملNotch gene expression during pancreatic organogenesis
Notch receptors are involved in regulating the balance between cell differentiation and stem cell proliferation during the development of numerous tissues (Artavanis-Tsakonas, S., Matsuno, K., Fortini, M. E., 1995. Notch signaling. Science 268, 225-232). Here the expression of all four vertebrate Notch genes, their ligands, and some down-stream targets is analyzed during mouse pancreatic organo...
متن کاملA multipotent progenitor domain guides pancreatic organogenesis.
The mammalian pancreas is constructed during embryogenesis by multipotent progenitors, the identity and function of which remain poorly understood. We performed genome-wide transcription factor expression analysis of the developing pancreas to identify gene expression domains that may represent distinct progenitor cell populations. Five discrete domains were discovered. Genetic lineage-tracing ...
متن کاملExpression and role of laminin-1 in mouse pancreatic organogenesis.
Previous studies have suggested that basement membrane alone may induce ductal differentiation and morphogenesis in the undifferentiated embryonic pancreas. The mechanism by which this induction occurs has not been investigated. Studies of other organ systems such as the lungs and mammary glands, where differentiation has been shown to be induced by basement membrane, have suggested a major rol...
