How the mouse got its stripes.
A central issue in developmental biology is the understanding of how various processes interact to produce spatio-temporal patterns in the embryo. To even observe these dynamical patterns directly is a challenge and, although technological advances in, for example, imaging techniques are beginning to address this problem, it is still far from trivial. A new strain of mouse that is deficient in ...
متن کاملHow the zebrafish got its stripes
H ow the zebra got its stripes is a frequent topic in popular literature about the natural world. For developmental biologists, however, it is much easier to study the biology of pattern formation in zebrafish, where the tools of experimental embryology and genetics have proved to be very useful. Now, in eLife, David Parichy from the University of Washington and coworkers – including Dae Seok E...
متن کاملHow the zebra got its stripes: a problem with too many solutions
The adaptive significance of zebra stripes has thus far eluded understanding. Many explanations have been suggested, including social cohesion, thermoregulation, predation evasion and avoidance of biting flies. Identifying the associations between phenotypic and environmental factors is essential for testing these hypotheses and substantiating existing experimental evidence. Plains zebra stripi...
متن کاملHow the tooth got its stripes: patterning via strain-cued motility.
We hypothesize that a population of migrating cells can form patterns when changes in local strains owing to relative cell motions induce changes in cell motility. That the mechanism originates in competing rates of motion distinguishes it from mechanisms involving strain energy gradients, e.g. those generated by surface energy effects or eigenstrains among cells, and diffusion-reaction mechani...
متن کاملHow the zebrafish gets its stripes.
The study of vertebrate pigment patterns is a classic and enduring field of developmental biology. Knowledge of pigment pattern development comes from a variety of systems, including avians, mouse, and more recently, the zebrafish (Danio rerio). Recent analyses of the mechanisms underlying the development of the neural crest-derived pigment cell type common to all vertebrates, the melanocyte, h...
