... the mechanical control of gene transcription contributes to the maintenance of pluripotency, determination of cell fate, pattern formation and organogenesis, as well as how it is involved in the control of cell and tissue function throughout embryogenesis and adult life. A deeper understanding...

... corresponds to specific cortical domains. In mlm/pl mutants, where specific cortical domains are broadened, changes in the cr system are characteristic for a given domain, regardless of its broadening, but boundaries between adjacent domains are weakened. Key words: pattern formation, ciliate, cortical...
