Quantitative data obtained by means of design-based stereology can add valuable information to studies performed on a diversity of organs, in particular when correlated to functional/physiological and biochemical data.
The molecular compositions of KATP channels exhibit tissue specificity, which offers substantial diversity across organs.
The importance of these mechanisms has been well documented in early development and in a diversity of organs such as the skin, brain, gut, and hematopoietic system (Fuchs, 2009; Lange and Calegari, 2010; Li and Clevers, 2010).
The development, detailed analysis of CaEST datasets and global gene expression by microarray provide new insight into the commonality and diversity of organ-specific immune-responsive transcript signatures and their regulated expression shaping the species specificity at genotype level.
Tunicates exhibit lineage-independent changes in developmental processes among closely related taxa, as shown by the diversity of sensory organs, tail, adhesive organs and epidermal ampullae at the larval stage [59] [62].
A haplotype is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sequence and a representative genetic marker describing the diversity of biological organs.
Ultrasound hearing evolved independently in each of these orders and a high diversity of hearing organs is within and among some of the orders (e.g. [2], [3], [4]).
This may be particularly true for insect pollinators as they display a high diversity of attachment organs adapted to locomotion on various surfaces (Gorb, 2001).
Such a deceptively simple task bears the most crucial challenge faced by all organisms the requirement to use a diversity of sensory organs and signal-transduction systems (i.e. stimulus response pathways, Clark et al. 2001) to sense the surrounding environment and ensure the most appropriate adaptive responses in order to survive and proliferate in a range of ecological niches.
Thus, the rapid expansion of p120, relative to δ-catenin, during vertebrate evolution may in large part reflect the broader spectrum of tissue and organ diversity outside of the nervous system.
