Homeobox genes in gut development.
Classical descriptions of gut development specify subdivision into foregut, midgut, and hindgut together with their derivatives. This is based on the anatomical localisation of the anterior and posterior intestinal portals separating the roof of the yolk sac from the foregut and hindgut diverticulae. When considering the molecular basis of intestinal differentiation, it is necessary to think in...
متن کاملLymphatics in the human endometrium disappear during decidualization.
BACKGROUND The mammalian placenta plays a central role in maternal tolerance of the semi-allogeneic fetus and fluid balance between the maternal and fetal compartments. The lymphatics play a role in both these function. The aim of this study was to describe the distribution of lymphatic vessels in human decidua, with particular focus on the lymphatics that surround remodelling spiral arteries d...
متن کاملSea urchin homeobox genes 637 Homeobox genes and sea urchin development
We describe the expression of three Paracentrotus lividus homeobox-containing genes of the dispersed class during sea urchin embryogenesis and discuss their possible roles in the mechanisms of cell specification and embryo morphogenesis. PlHbox12 represents the first regulator identified in sea urchin that belongs to the zygotic class of transcription factors. Its early and transient expression...
متن کاملHomeobox Genes and the Homeobox
Most homeobox [5] genes [4] contain a 180-base-pair region called a homeodomain [6]. The homeodomain [6] portion of the protein transcript has been shown to interact with DNA in a cisregulatory fashion during the critical stages of early body plan specification and embryogenesis [7]. These sorts of interactions demonstrate the importance of regulatory genes [4] and their architectural role in t...
متن کاملThe role of homeobox genes in retinal development and disease.
Homeobox genes are an evolutionarily conserved class of transcription factors that are critical for development of many organ systems, including the brain and eye. During retinogenesis, homeodomain-containing transcription factors, which are encoded by homeobox genes, play essential roles in the regionalization and patterning of the optic neuroepithelium, specification of retinal progenitors an...
