...Qiuling Li; Jie Jiao; Huijun Li; Huajing Wan; Caihong Zheng; Jun Cai; Shilai Bao ABSTRACT Branching morphogenesis is essential for the successful development of a functional lung to accomplish its gas exchange function. Although many studies have highlighted requirements for the bone morphogenetic...

... the colonization of macrophages (at E15.5), in mouse submandibular gland (SMG) tissue. Surprisingly, MCSF-induced branching morphogenesis was based on a direct effect on epithelial cells, as well as indirectly, by modulating the expression of major growth factors of SMG growth, FGF7 and FGF10, via...

...Melinda Larsen; Cindy Wei; Kenneth M. Yamada Branching morphogenesis is a dynamic developmental process shared by many organs, but the mechanisms that reorganize cells during branching morphogenesis are not well understood. We hypothesized that extensive cell rearrangements are involved...

...Farrah Kheradmand; Kirtee Rishi; Zena Werb Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during lung development require extracellular signaling factors that facilitate branching morphogenesis. We show here that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) originating in the mesenchyme are necessary for epithelial...
