Epidermal cell fate and patterning in leaves.
Cell differentiation requires that undifferentiated cells first be selected before becoming committed to a specific fate. The selection of precursor cells often is coordinated so that mature differentiated cells are distributed in a characteristic pattern. One of the simplest possible patterns in tissues is that in which a minimum distance is maintained between differentiated cells in a two-dim...
متن کاملCell fate patterning during C. elegans vulval development.
Precursor cells of the vulva of the C. elegans hermaphrodite choose between two vulval cell fates (1 degree and 2 degrees) and a non-vulval epidermal fate (3 degrees) in response to three intercellular signals. An inductive signal produced by the anchor cell induces the vulval precursors to assume the 1 degree and 2 degree vulval fates. This inductive signal is an EGF-like growth factor encoded...
متن کاملStem cell patterning and fate in human epidermis
Within human epidermis there are two types of proliferating keratinocyte: stem cells, which have high proliferative potential, and transit-amplifying cells, which are destined to undergo terminal differentiation after a few rounds of division. We show that, in vivo, stem cells express higher levels of the alpha 2 beta 1 and alpha 3 beta 1 integrins than transit-amplifying cells and that this ca...
متن کاملSignaling mechanisms controlling cell fate and embryonic patterning.
During development, signaling pathways specify cell fates by activating transcriptional programs in response to extracellular signals. Extensive studies in the past 30 years have revealed that surprisingly few pathways exist to regulate developmental programs and that dysregulation of these can lead to human diseases, including cancer. Although these pathways use distinct signaling components a...
متن کاملLocal extrinsic signals determine muscle and endothelial cell fate and patterning in the vertebrate limb.
Both the muscle and endothelium of the vertebrate limb derive from somites. We have used replication-defective retroviral vectors to analyze the lineage relationships of these somite-derived cells in the chick. We find that myogenic precursors in the somites or proximal limb are not committed to forming slow or fast muscle fibers, particular anatomical muscles, or muscles within specific proxim...
