Morphogenesis, plasticity and irreversibility.
The dynamical systems theory of morphogenesis is surveyed, in which positional information is generated through intracellular reaction dynamics and cell-cell interaction. Cells differentiate because of these dynamics. In addition, these differentiated cells form an ordered spatial pattern, which further stabilizes the cellular states, leading to robust morphogenesis and irreversibility in the d...
متن کاملDendritic spine morphogenesis and plasticity.
Dendritic spines are small protrusions off the dendrite that receive excitatory synaptic input. Spines vary in size, likely correlating with the strength of the synapses they form. In the developing brain, spines show highly dynamic behavior thought to facilitate the formation of new synaptic contacts. Recent studies have illuminated the numerous molecules regulating spine development, many of ...
متن کاملMorphological Plasticity: Environmentally Driven Morphogenesis
This paper focuses on the environmental role in morphogenesis in dynamic morphologies (DM). We discuss the benefits of morphological plasticity (MP) and introduce our Environment-Phenotype Map (E-P Map) framework in order to investigate and classify the continual development in DMs and morphologically adaptive behaviour. We present our MP-capable system the Artificial Cytoskeleton (ArtCyto), ho...
متن کاملThe regulation and plasticity of root hair patterning and morphogenesis.
Root hairs are highly specialized cells found in the epidermis of plant roots that play a key role in providing the plant with water and mineral nutrients. Root hairs have been used as a model system for understanding both cell fate determination and the morphogenetic plasticity of cell differentiation. Indeed, many studies have shown that the fate of root epidermal cells, which differentiate i...
متن کاملEph/ephrin signaling in morphogenesis, neural development and plasticity.
Ephrins are cell-surface-tethered ligands for Eph receptors, the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases. During development, the Eph/ephrin cell communication system appears to influence cell behavior such as attraction/repulsion, adhesion/de-adhesion and migration, thereby influencing cell fate, morphogenesis and organogenesis. During adulthood, the Eph/ephrin system continues to play rol...
