A Feedback Loop Controlling Organ Size [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2019 To maintain proper organ size, nature has devised trans-organ communication systems-involving both paracrine and circulating regulatory factors-to safeguard homeostasis. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Ji et al. (2019) now describe an enterohepatic feedback loop that balances tissue size and function in the mammalian liver.

Height-Based Formula Predicting Renal Length in Korean Children derived from Technesium-99m Dimercaptosuccinic Acid Scan [PDF]
Childhood Kidney Diseases, 2015 Purpose: The aim of this study was to establish a simple formula to predict renal length in children using a Technesium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan data, and to compare it with the formula derived from ultrasonography, which is widely ...

Spectrin regulates Hippo signaling by modulating cortical actomyosin activity
eLife, 2015 The Hippo pathway controls tissue growth through a core kinase cascade that impinges on the transcription of growth-regulatory genes. Understanding how this pathway is regulated in development remains a major challenge.

The temporal requirements for insulin signaling during development in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2005 Recent studies have indicated that the insulin-signaling pathway controls body and organ size in Drosophila, and most metazoans, by signaling nutritional conditions to the growing organs. The temporal requirements for insulin signaling during development

eLife, 2015 During development, proliferation must be tightly controlled for organs to reach their appropriate size. While the Hippo signaling pathway plays a major role in organ growth control, how it senses and responds to increased cell density is still unclear ...

Ontogenic Caste Differences in the Van der Vecht Organ of Primitively Eusocial Neotropical Paper Wasps. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Recent studies have reported incipient morphological caste dimorphism in the Van der Vecht organ size of some temperate Polistes paper wasps. Whether species other than the temperate ones show a similar pattern remains elusive. Here, we have studied some

Altered paracrine signaling from the injured knee joint impairs postnatal long bone growth
eLife, 2017 Regulation of organ growth is a poorly understood process. In the long bones, the growth plates (GPs) drive elongation by generating a scaffold progressively replaced by bone.
