Organ-Size Regulation in Mammals. [PDF]
The control of organism and organ size is a central question in biology. Despite the attention it has received, our understanding of how adult organ size is determined and maintained is still incomplete. Early work has shown that both autonomous and regulated mechanisms drive vertebrate organ growth, and both intrinsic and extrinsic cues contribute to ...

Vitamin D stimulates cardiomyocyte proliferation and controls organ size and regeneration in zebrafish [PDF]
SUMMARY Attaining proper organ size during development and regeneration hinges on activity of mitogenic factors. Here, we performed a large-scale chemical screen in embryonic zebrafish to identify cardiomyocyte mitogens.

Overexpression of MtDof32 in Medicago truncatula enhances leaf and flower organ size through modulation of cell expansion [PDF]
As leaf organ size is a key determinant of plant morphology and development, elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing organ size regulation has become a central research focus in legume biology. DNA binding with one finger 32 (MtDof32),

Proliferation-independent regulation of organ size by Fgf/Notch signaling
Organ morphogenesis depends on the precise orchestration of cell migration, cell shape changes and cell adhesion. We demonstrate that Notch signaling is an integral part of the Wnt and Fgf signaling feedback loop coordinating cell migration and the self ...

Gαq controls organ size and developmental timing in Drosophila [PDF]
The G protein alpha subunit, Gαq, transduces extracellular signals from G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) into the cell, playing essential roles in developmental processes such as organ size control, wound healing, and disease.

Evolution and conserved functionality of organ size and shape regulator PEAPOD. [PDF]
Transcriptional regulator PEAPOD (PPD) and its binding partners comprise a complex that is conserved throughout many core eudicot plants with regard to protein domain sequence and the function of controlling organ size and shape.

Feedback regulation of steady-state epithelial turnover and organ size [PDF]
Epithelial organs undergo steady-state turnover throughout adult life, with old cells being continually replaced by the progeny of stem cell divisions.

Localized JNK signaling regulates organ size during development
A fundamental question of biology is what determines organ size. Despite demonstrations that factors within organs determine their sizes, intrinsic size control mechanisms remain elusive.
