1. Avaliação da via do hedgehog nas hepatites crônicas B e C : da fibrose zero até a cirrose associada ou não ao carcinoma hepatocelular
Ativação da via do Hedgehog (Hh) promove vários processos que ocorrem durante o reparo fibrogênico hepático. O papel da via do Hh na lesão causada pela hepatite crônica B e C ainda não foi investigado. Estudos de expressão global em carcinomas hepatocelulares (CHC) demostraram a ativação da via do Hh em pacientes com CHC relacionados à infecção

2. Aspectos celulares, teciduais e moleculares da osteogênese ectópica e ortotópica induzida pela matriz alogênica óssea e dentinária / Cellular, tissue and molecular aspects of the ectopic and orthotopic osteogenese induced by bone and dentine allogenic matrix
The aim of the present work was to correlate the cellular and tissue events with the expression of VEGF, BMP-7, RANKL and OPG during ectopic and orthotopic osteogenesis, induced by bone and dentin allogeneic matrix. Allogenic matrices obtained from femur and incisor of rats and demineralized in 0.6 N HCl were implanted into a intramuscular pocket and a 8mm-d

3. Histological and BMP and Wnt gene expression evaluation in the bovine endometrium during embryo implantation / Avaliação histologica e da expressão genica de BMP e Wnt no endometrio durante a implantação embrionaria em bovinos
A implantação embrionária implica em alterações profundas do ambiente uterino, cujos eventos devem obedecer uma sincronia temporal e espacial com o estágio do desenvolvimento embrionário. Qualquer desequilíbrio nesta sincronia resulta em interrupção da gestação e o desconhecimento dos mecanismos que atuam nas interações materno-fetais inviabili

4. Pattern formation by vascular mesenchymal cells
In embryogenesis, immature mesenchymal cells aggregate and organize into patterned tissues. Later in life, a pathological recapitulation of this process takes place in atherosclerotic lesions, when vascular mesenchymal cells organize into trabecular bone tissue within the artery wall. Here we show that multipotential adult vascular mesenchymal cells self-org

5. The genetics of geometry
Although much progress has been made in understanding how gene expression patterns are established during development, much less is known about how these patterns are related to the growth of biological shapes. Here we describe conceptual and experimental approaches to bridging this gap, with particular reference to plant development where lack of cell movem

6. Coordination of sonic hedgehog and Wnt signaling determines ventral and dorsal telencephalic neuron types from human embryonic stem cells
The directed differentiation of forebrain neuronal types from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) has not been achieved. Here, we show that hESCs differentiate to telencephalic progenitors with a predominantly dorsal identity in a chemically defined medium without known morphogens. This is attributed to endogenous Wnt signaling, which upregulates the truncate

7. Gene expression mediated by cis-acting sequences of the Krüppel gene in response to the Drosophila morphogens bicoid and hunchback.
The initial expression of the gap gene Krüppel (Kr) occurs in a precisely bounded central region of the Drosophila blastoderm embryo. According to genetic analysis, the spatial limits of the Kr expression domain are controlled by the morphogenetic activities of the anterior organizer gene bicoid (bcd) and the anterior gap gene hunchback (hb). Using gene fus

8. Auxin as a positional signal in pattern formation in plants.
By using a novel, extremely sensitive and specific gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique we demonstrate in Pinus sylvestris (L.) trees the existence of a steep radial concentration gradient of the endogenous auxin, indole-3-acetic acid, over the lateral meristem responsible for the bulk of plant secondary growth, the vascular cambium. This is the fi

9. Pattern formation and traveling waves in myxobacteria: Theory and modeling
Recent experiments have provided new quantitative measurements of the rippling phenomenon in fields of developing myxobacteria cells. These measurements have enabled us to develop a mathematical model for the ripple phenomenon on the basis of the biochemistry of the C-signaling system, whereby individuals signal by direct cell contact. The model quantit

10. Self-organization of the fluid mosaic of charged channel proteins in membranes.
Electrically charged ion channels in a fluid membrane may form dissipative structures driven by a concentration gradient of salt. On a molecular level the effect is due to dissipative attractive forces; the channel currents induce local gradients of the membrane potential that interact with the protein charge. Self-organization by "charged channel condensati

11. Stochastic simulations of the origins and implications of long-tailed distributions in gene expression
Gene expression noise results in protein number distributions ranging from long-tailed to Gaussian. We show how long-tailed distributions arise from a stochastic model of the constituent chemical reactions and suggest that, in conjunction with cooperative switches, they lead to more sensitive selection of a subpopulation of cells with high protein number tha

12. A cellular memory module conveys epigenetic inheritance of hedgehog expression during Drosophila wing imaginal disc development
In Drosophila, the Trithorax-group (trxG) and Polycomb-group (PcG) proteins interact with chromosomal elements, termed Cellular Memory Modules (CMMs). By modifying chromatin, this ensures a stable heritable maintenance of the transcriptional state of developmental regulators, like the homeotic genes, that is defined embryonically. We asked whether such CMMs
