Choose your fate: artery, vein or lymphatic vessel?

Abstract:

:The specification of cell fate is integral to embryonic development. Recent research has identified several molecules that are involved in the development of the embryonic vasculature. Their combined actions are required for the specification and development of the arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels; vascular networks that are vital for embryonic and adult survival, and whose malfunction causes major pathological disorders. Recent discoveries have impacted our understanding of the embryonic origins of arterial, venous and lymphatic endothelial cells and the signals that mediate their navigation into mature, functional circulatory systems.

  • Morphogenesis on the move: cell-to-cell trafficking of plant regulatory proteins.

    abstract::It has been shown recently that some plant transcription factors that regulate cell fate during development can traffic through plasmodesmata-the intercellular channels that connect plant cells. This phenomenon helps explain the non-autonomous effects of many developmental mutations in plants and defines a novel mecha...
