The gill tissue is convergent, meaning that the hyphae appear to converge toward the center of the tissue.
To resolve this conflict, we proposed that age-1 can regulate daf-16 activity in target tissues through convergent cell-autonomous and non-autonomous mechanisms [8].
Nutritional studies have found conflicting evidence regarding the ability of Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQs) to demonstrate convergent validity with tissue content of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).
We conclude that despite encouraging data from previous microarray studies assessing non-neural tissues, the lack of a convergent set of differentially expressed genes associated with SZ using fibroblasts and LCLs indicates the utility of non-neuronal tissues for detection of gene expression differences and/or pathways associated with SZ remains to be demonstrated.
Other forms of collaboration with FCI-HD TFs may also occur, including TF heterodimerization (Landschulz et al., 1988; Grove et al., 2009), cooperative interactions with other co-factors (Mahaffey, 2005), or formation of multi-protein complexes of signal-activated and tissue-restricted TFs that have convergent effects on mesodermal gene expression (Busser et al., 2008; Mann et al., 2009).
Scribble, Vangl2 and Sec24b have all been linked to the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway that regulates the polarity in the plane of a sheet of epithelial cells and controls convergent extension of a tissue [12]; reviewed by [34].
Convergent extension is a key tissue movement that organizes mesoderm, ectoderm, and endoderm in vertebrate embryos.
The present study is the first to show that these vHPC lesion-sensitive tasks also elicit robust vHPC tissue O2 responses, thereby providing additional and convergent evidence for a preferential role for vHPC in anxiety.
We conclude by presenting a relatively simple "wedge-model" that exhibits key emergent properties of convergent extension such as the coupling between tissue stiffness, cell intercalation forces, and tissue elongation forces.
Convergent afferent input from extracranial tissues was mapped by probing the ipsilateral cornea, temporal muscle, periosteum and facial skin with von Frey filaments and a fine blunt glass rod.
