  2. 1. New roles for apical secretion and extracellular matrix assembly in Drosophila epithelial morphogenesis

    Author : Satish Arcot Jayaram; Christos Samakovlis; Catherine Rabouille; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology;

    Abstract : Branched tubular organs, such as the lung and vascular system fulfill the respiratory needs of most animals. Optimal tissue function relies on the uniform sizes and shapes of the constituting branches in each organ. READ MORE

  4. 2. Genetic and molecular regulation of epithelial tube morphogenesis

    Author : Anna Tonning; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : epithelial tube morphogenesis; trachea; Drosophila; chitin; chitin synthase; apical extracellular matrix; paracellular diffusion barrier; tube expansion; septate junctions;

    Abstract : Networks of epithelial tubes, such as the vertebrate lung, kidney and vascular system, enable transport of gases and nutrients to all tissues in the body. These tubes are built up by a single layer of polarized epithelial cells, with the apical membrane facing the lumen. READ MORE

  5. 3. To unite or disconnect : AmotL2 in tubulogenesis and tumor invasion

    Author : Sara Hultin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For an epithelial- or endothelial cell sheet or ‐tissue to form, individual cells must come together unite and connect. Contacts to adjacent cells and underlying matrix must be initiated, and the junctional proteins mediating the contacts must be further linked to intracellular cytoskeletal networks. READ MORE

  6. 4. Feeling the force : role of AmotL2 in normal development and cancer

    Author : Aravindh Subramani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cells that fabricate the body, dwell in a very heterogeneous environment. Self-organization of individual cells into complex tissues and organs at the time of growth and revival is brought about by the combinatory action of biomechanical and biochemical signaling processes.

  7. 5. Role of ion and water channels for lung growth in congenital diaphragmatic hernia

    Author : Andreas Ringman Uggla; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Early lung development is based on a continuous cross-talk of growth and transcription factors between the developing lung bud and the surrounding parenchyma. Throughout fetal life, pulmonary growth and differentiation depend on Cl- driven lung liquid secretion. READ MORE
