Morphogenesis of growing soft tissues.
Recently, much attention has been given to a noteworthy property of some soft tissues: their ability to grow. Many attempts have been made to model this behavior in biology, chemistry, and physics. Using the theory of finite elasticity, Rodriguez has postulated a multiplicative decomposition of the geometric deformation gradient into a growth-induced part and an elastic one needed to ensure com...
متن کاملA Chick Embryo in-Vitro Model of Knee Morphogenesis
Background: In this feasibility study, a mechanically loaded in-vitro tissue culture model of joint morphogenesis using the isolated lower extremity of the 8 day old chick embryo was developed to assess the effects of mechanical loading on joint morphogenesis. Methods: The developed in-vitro system allows controlled flexion and extension of the chick embryonic knee with a range of motion of ...
متن کاملMorphogenesis: Shaping Tissues through Extracellular Force Gradients.
Organ sculpting requires directed physical force generation. Force imbalances are primarily thought to arise from within cells. A new study, however, demonstrates that an extracellular-matrix-based stiffness gradient in the Drosophila egg chamber instructs tissue elongation.
متن کاملA Model of Morphogenesis
F. W. Cummings 1 Abstract A new model is presented of a patterning mechanism in animals. It is argued that the ‘Wnt’ signaling pathway often acts in binary conjunction with a variety of other pathways to produce complex patterning. This patterning follows while involving little of the detailed biochemistry of either of the two pathways involved. The patterns arise spontaneously from a state of ...
متن کاملThe Occurrence and Morphogenesis of Melanocytes in the Connective Tissues
MAMMALS, as a rule, are described as having melanocytes of neural crest origin confined almost entirely to the skin. Of the organs other than skin which have been described as possessing melanocytes are portions of the gonado-genital apparatus of the Opossum (Burns, 1939), and, in the house mouse, tissues of the nictitans, the meninges of the brain, the parathyroids, the thymus and harderian gl...
