ojoplano-mediated basal constriction is essential for optic cup morphogenesis.
Although the vertebrate retina is a well-studied paradigm for organogenesis, the morphogenetic mechanisms that carve the architecture of the vertebrate optic cup remain largely unknown. Understanding how the hemispheric shape of an eye is formed requires addressing the fundamental problem of how individual cell behaviour is coordinated to direct epithelial morphogenesis. Here, we analyze the ro...
متن کاملLaminins in basement membrane assembly
The heterotrimeric laminins are a defining component of all basement membranes and self-assemble into a cell-associated network. The three short arms of the cross-shaped laminin molecule form the network nodes, with a strict requirement for one α, one β and one γ arm. The globular domain at the end of the long arm binds to cellular receptors, including integrins, α-dystroglycan, heparan sulfate...
متن کاملEsophageal muscle physiology and morphogenesis require assembly of a collagen XIX–rich basement membrane zone
Collagen XIX is an extremely rare extracellular matrix component that localizes to basement membrane zones and is transiently expressed by differentiating muscle cells. Characterization of mice harboring null and structural mutations of the collagen XIX (Col19a1) gene has revealed the critical contribution of this matrix protein to muscle physiology and differentiation. The phenotype includes s...
متن کاملDrosophila laminins act as key regulators of basement membrane assembly and morphogenesis.
Laminins are heterotrimeric molecules found in all basement membranes. In mammals, they have been involved in diverse developmental processes, from gastrulation to tissue maintenance. The Drosophila genome encodes two laminin alpha chains, one beta and one Gamma, which form two distinct laminin trimers. So far, only mutations affecting one or other trimer have been analysed. In order to study e...
متن کاملExogenous basement-membrane-like matrix stimulates adrenergic development in avian neural crest cultures.
The development of quail trunk neural crest cultures was dramatically altered when the cultures were overlaid with a gel of reconstituted basement membrane (RBM) components derived from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm sarcoma. In the presence of the RBM gel overlay, the number of catecholamine-positive (CA+) cells that developed was increased 50-fold, while the final number of melanocytes and total c...
