Ectodermal organs such as teeth, hair follicles, and mammary glands begin their development as placodes. These are local epithelial thickenings that invaginate into mesenchymal space. There is current
The amf gene cluster was previously identified as a regulator for the onset of aerial-mycelium formation in Streptomyces griseus. The nucleotide sequences of amf and its counterparts in other species
Cilia loss and dysfunction is one of the typical pathological features of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Tryptophan-aspartic acid (W-D) repeat containing planar cell polarity effec
Organs develop distinctive morphologies to fulfill their unique functions. We used Drosophila embryonic gonads as a model to study how two different cell lineages, primordial germ cells (PGCs) and som
