... and regenerating capacities still remain unknown. The Critical Thermal Maximum (CTM) is a very widespread method used in the evaluation of thermal tolerance. In this study, Girardia tigrina (Girard, 1850) and Girardia sp., a species found in Brazil, which is under study as a new species, had their epidermis...

... production and activation of protein kinase G and its downstream targets. Here we report the essential role of NO during embryonic epidermis development. Xenopus embryonic epidermis has become a useful model reflecting human epithelial tissue composition. The developing epidermis of Xenopus laevis is formed...

.... Dachs Dachsous Fat Epidermis Planar cell polarity During development, the larva of Drosophila undergoes three moult cycles and increases considerably in size. The cuticle of the first larval stage (L1) is formed by the embryonic epidermis; there are two subsequent stages (L2 and L3...

... immune cells such as macrophages and granulocytes (data not shown). To better understand the effects of Ets1 over-expression on the proliferative basal keratinocytes, we stained skin sections for a series of markers. Expression of keratin 5 (K5) was expanded in BT epidermis, whereas in wild-type...

...Karolina Lada; Nicole Gorfinkiel; Alfonso Martinez Arias Summary Dorsal closure (DC) is an essential step during Drosophila development whereby a hole is sealed in the dorsal epidermis and serves as a model for cell sheet morphogenesis and wound healing. It involves the orchestrated interplay...
