MYOBLAST CYTONEMES MEDIATE WG SIGNALING FROM THE WING IMAGINAL DISC AND DELTA-NOTCH SIGNALING TO THE AIR SAC PRIMORDIUM

Myoblast cytonemes mediate Wg signaling from the wing imaginal disc and Delta-Notch signaling to the air sac primordium

The flight muscles, dorsal air sacs, wing blades, and thoracic cuticle of the Drosophila Bronzer adult function in concert, and their progenitor cells develop together in the wing imaginal disc.The wing disc orchestrates dorsal air sac development by producing decapentaplegic and fibroblast growth factor that travel via specific cytonemes in order

Found but lost? The short-lived success of Crataegus coccinea L. (Rosales: Rosaceae) in north-eastern Sicily (Italy)

Two exsiccata sampled at the end of the 19th century, and wrongly identified as Pyrus torminalis or Sorbus torminalis in the herbarium of Francesco Tornabene at Catania, belonged to Bronzer a woody species never reported to occur in Sicily, Crataegus coccinea.This hawthorn, native to eastern North America, grew in two different sites located on the

The effect of pulsed electromagnetic field exposure on osteoinduction of human mesenchymal stem cells cultured on nano-TiO2 surfaces.

Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) are considered a great promise in the repair and regeneration of bone.Considerable efforts have been oriented towards uncovering the best strategy to promote stem cells osteogenic differentiation.In previous studies, hBM-MSCs exposed to physical stimuli such as pulsed electromagnetic field
