Pandey; Neena Valecha; Rajnikant Dixit ABSTRACT Mosquito salivary glands are well known to facilitate meal acquisition, however the fundamental question on how adult female...

...Rebecca M. Fox; Deborah J. Andrew ABSTRACT Drosophila CrebA facilitates high-level secretion by transcriptional upregulation of the protein components of the core secretory machinery. In CrebA mutant embryos, both salivary gland (SG) morphology and epidermal cuticle secretion are abnormal...

...Kirsty L. Wells; Marcia Gaete; Eva Matalova; Danny Deutsch; David Rice; Abigail S. Tucker Summary Salivary glands provide an excellent model for the study of epithelial–mesenchymal interactions. We have looked at the interactions involved in the early initiation and development of murine salivary...

...Unisha Patel; Monn Monn Myat Summary The Drosophila embryonic salivary gland is formed by the invagination and collective migration of cells. Here, we report on a novel developmental role for receptor-type guanylyl cyclase at 76C, Gyc76C, in morphogenesis of the salivary gland. We demonstrate...

... involves reciprocal interactions between epithelial and mesenchymal cell types to balance progenitor cell retention and expansion with cell differentiation for evolution of tissue architecture. Underlying submandibular salivary gland branching morphogenesis is the regulated proliferation...
