2. 1. Basement membrane components and their receptors in organogenesis

   Author : Katriina Salmivirta; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Basement membrane; laminin; collagen type IV; nidogen; integrin; morphogenesis; organogenesis; tooth; salivary gland; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

   Abstract : During embryogenesis organs are formed from epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. Organogenesis is dependent on interactions between epithelium and mesenchyme. Specialized extracellular matrices, basement membranes, located between the two tissue types play a crucial role in mediating the interactions. READ MORE

4. 2. Functions of platelet-derived growth factor-A during organogenesis

   Author : Linda Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; platelet-derived growth factor-A; knockout; mouse organogenesis; epithelial-mesenchymalinteractions; skin; hair follicles; CNS; lung; gastrointestinal villus;

   Abstract : The formation of organs during embryonic development is calledorganogenesis. This process is regulated by the genes residing in the genome. READ MORE

5. 3. The role of PDGF-A in lung development, injury and repair

   Author : Leonor Gouveia; Johanna Andrae; Christer Betsholtz; Brigid Hogan; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lung; organogenesis; PDGF; signalling pathway; development;

   Abstract : The developmental processes that take place during embryogenesis depend on a great number of proteins that are important for cell-to-cell communication. Platelet-derived growth factors are known to be important for epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development and organogenesis. READ MORE

6. 4. The role of cell adhesion molecules in tissue formation and organogenesis

   Author : Farzad Esni; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cell adhesion cadherins N-CAM pancreas development mouse organogenesis;

   Abstract : Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are cell surface glycoproteins that promote connection between two adjacent cells or between a cell and extra cellular matrix. These interactions are essential for tissue organisation during development and for the maintenance of tissue integrity in adult organisms. READ MORE

7. 5. Molecular and functional anatomy of the mouse olfactory epithelium

   Author : Viktoria Vedin; Anna Berghard; Urban Lendahl; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; olfactory epithelium; odorant receptor; zone; odorant; gene expression; cell specification; c-Fos; dichlobenil; olfactometry; proliferation; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : The olfactory system is important for social behaviors, feeding and avoiding predators. Detection of odorous molecules is made by odorant receptors on specialized sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelial sheet. READ MORE
