Morphogen gradient interpretation

Nature, 2001
A morphogen gradient is an important concept in developmental biology, because it describes a mechanism by which the emission of a signal from one part of an embryo can determine the location, differentiation and fate of many surrounding cells. The value of this idea has been clear for over half a century, but only recently have experimental systems ...

Morphogene Substanzen aus Hydra

Naturwissenschaften, 1981
We use hydra as a model system to understand how growth and differentiation and, as a consequence of this, pattern formation are controlled at the molecular level. We have found that four substances control head and foot formation in hydra: an activator and an inhibitor of head formation and an activator and an inhibitor of foot formation.

Neurotransmitters as morphogens

1988
Publisher Summary This chapter presents considerable evidence for morphogenetic functions of neurotransmitters during embryonic development, a role that may derive from their appearance early in evolution, still evidenced today by their presence in primitive organisms.

The Bone Morphogenic Protein

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2005
The molecular and cellular process to promote bone formation has been examined extensively in recent years in an attempt to minimize delayed unions and nonunions. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been determined to play an intricate role in the bone formation cascade. Over 14 BMPs have been isolated and more are being discovered as investigation

miRNAs and morphogen gradients

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2012
Morphogens induce biological diversity by operating in a dose-dependent manner. Here we review recent evidences indicating that microRNAs (miRNAs) are ideally suited to serve the morphogen cause. miRNAs regulate the establishment of morphogen gradients, including TGFβ, Wnt and other growth factors by acting on their secretion, distribution and ...

Genetics of morphogen gradients

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2001
The organization of cells and tissues is controlled by the action of 'form-giving' signalling molecules, or morphogens, which pattern a developmental field in a concentration-dependent manner. As the fate of each cell in the field depends on the level of the morphogen signal, the concentration gradient of the morphogen prefigures the pattern of ...
