Phase 1 is defined by cell specification, tissue differentiation, and anther morphology establishment.
A number of proteins involved in shaping and distributing the ER network are mutated in neurological disorders, particularly the hereditary spastic paraplegias, emphasizing the importance of proper ER morphology for the establishment and maintenance of highly polarized neurons.
Associated with this phenotypic transition is the acquisition of an elongated cell morphology and establishment of stress fibers.
Rho-GTPases are master regulators of polarity establishment and cell morphology.
The establishment and characterisation (morphology, ultrastructure, tumourigenicity) of six cell lines from primary human colorectal adenocarcinomas is described.
We use C. elegans touch receptor neurons (TRNs) to study establishment and maintenance of neuronal morphology.
Fibronectin mediates a wide variety of cellular interactions and is involved in a number of processes, such as cell adhesion, the establishment and maintenance of normal cell morphology, cell migration, growth and differentiation.
The multiple functions of fibronectin include the establishment and maintenance of normal cell morphology, promotion of cell migration and enhancement of cell attachment, onto- and oncogenic transformation [ 21- 26].
Competition for trophic resources has led to habitat partitioning and the establishment and maintenance of distinct trophic morphologies in the context of adaptive radiation (Albertson, 2008) and ecological speciation (Rundle and Nosil, 2005).
This study describes the establishment and characterisation of the 5T33 murine myeloma in vitro as a cultured cell line in terms of its morphology, growth rate, expression of paraprotein (IgG2b) and tumorigenicity in syngeneic animals.
