Developmental plasticity of lymphocytes
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2008Experimental perturbation of signaling or transcription factor networks has been used to study the developmental potential of lymphoid progenitors, lineage-committed precursors and mature lymphocytes. Common lymphoid progenitors and uncommitted pro-T cells can be efficiently diverted into myeloid or erythroid lineages by ectopic cytokine signaling or ...

Gravity and developmental plasticity
Advances in Space Research, 1998Living organisms, especially plants, show some plasticity in their overall development, usually as a response to the external environment. Plasticity may apply not only to the external form of organisms but also to their physiology as well as to the detailed structure of their genome.

Developmental plasticity and memory
Behavioural Brain Research, 1995The cerebral cortex of young kittens is known to be highly malleable during early postnatal development. However, most studies of developmental plasticity have been conducted in primary visual cortex. It has long been unclear to what extent similar plasticity exists in higher cortical areas.

Developmental plasticity and the origin of tetrapods
Nature, 2014The origin of tetrapods from their fish antecedents, approximately 400 million years ago, was coupled with the origin of terrestrial locomotion and the evolution of supporting limbs. Polypterus is a member of the basal-most group of ray-finned fish (actinopterygians) and has many plesiomorphic morphologies that are comparable to elpistostegid fishes ...

Hormones and human developmental plasticity
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2020Natural selection favors the evolution of mechanisms that optimize the allocation of resources and time among competing traits. Hormones mediate developmental plasticity, the changes in the phenotype that occur during ontogeny. Despite their highly conserved functions, the flexibilities of human hormonal systems suggest a strong history of adaptation ...

Developmental plasticity and evolutionary explanations
Evolution & Development, 2019AbstractDevelopmental plasticity looks like a promising bridge between ecological and developmental perspectives on evolution. Yet, there is no consensus on whether plasticity is part of the explanation for adaptive evolution or an optional “add‐on” to genes and natural selection.

Developmental plasticity of lymphoid progenitors
Seminars in Immunology, 2002The identification of the common lymphoid progenitors in mouse bone marrow allows us to directly assess the regulatory mechanisms of lymphoid lineage commitment. The unexpected finding of a latent myeloid differentiation potential in lymphoid progenitors sheds light on the importance of cytokine receptor expression at this stage.

Abstract As chicks grow from neonate to adult, they may encounter periods of food restriction that can affect their development. Poor feeding conditions can suppress normal growth and may even affect adult morphology (chapter 15). To maximize its survival, a chick should manage its resources so that tissue growth and maintenance can be ...

Developmental plasticity of photoreceptors
2004During development, retinal ganglion cells undergo conspicuous structural remodeling as they gradually attain their mature morphology and connectivity. Alterations in their dendritic organization and in their axonal projections can also be achieved following early insult to their targets or their afferents.
