Mesodermal Cell Deaths during the Early Development of the
نویسنده
چکیده
1. The positions of degenerating cells in the mesenchyme of the scleral bone primordia of the chick, and in the fibrous sclera beneath them, have been ascertained. 2. It is shown that the number of cell deaths within the bone primordia, and also beneath them in the fibrous sclera, is markedly higher than, and follows a different pattern from the regions between. 3. A centre of cell destruction is seen to occur at and near to the boundary of the mesenchyme and fibrous sclera. This begins in 7to 8-day primordia, rises to a peak at 8 to 9 days, and subsides in 9to 10-day primordia. 4. A second centre of cell death occurs in the mesenchyme nearer to the conjunctival papilla. It starts in 8to 9-day eyes about mid-way between the conjunctiva and sclera, and as it increases in intensity, the centre moves nearer to the conjunctival papilla (9 to 10 days), beneath which it appears to subside (some 10-day primordia). 5. The function of these waves of cell destruction is discussed. It is concluded that their most likely function is morphogenetic; they may make a space into which the osteogenic cells migrate, or they may ensure a normal position and shape for the developing bone. Consideration has also been given to the possibility that the products of cell death might have a histiogenetic function.

Time Course of Degradation and Deadenylation of Maternal c-mos and Cyclin A2 mRNA during Early Development of One-Cell Embryo in Mouse
Early in the development of many animals, before transcription begins, any change in the pattern of protein synthesis is attributed to a change in the translational activity or stability of mRNA in the egg and early embryo. As a result, translational control is critical for a variety of developmental decisions, including oocyte maturation and initiation of preimplantation development. In this s...

متن کاملPhotoactivatable GFP resolves Drosophila mesoderm migration behaviour.
Mesoderm migration is a pivotal event in the early embryonic development of animals. One of the best-studied examples occurs during Drosophila gastrulation. Here, mesodermal cells invaginate, undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and spread out dorsally over the inner surface of the ectoderm. Although several genes required for spreading have been identified, our inability to v...

Background & objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are presently isolated from various human tissues such as bone marrow. These cells have relatively high replication potential and can differentiate into various cell lineages with mesodermal and non-mesodermal origin and therefore, show promising in treatment of diseases. Their striking features like availability of source, ease of isolation...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Caenorhabditis elegans Twist homolog identifies conserved and divergent aspects of mesodermal patterning.
Mesodermal development is a multistep process in which cells become increasingly specialized to form specific tissue types. In Drosophila and mammals, proper segregation and patterning of the mesoderm involves the bHLH factor Twist. We investigated the activity of a Twist-related factor, CeTwist, during Caenorhabditis elegans mesoderm development. Embryonic mesoderm in C. elegans derives from a...
