The problem on integration and control of the various processes of the metazoan organism is a major challenge to the physiologist. The traditional research strategy in dealing with the problem is neur...
1. The shift from unicellular life to multicellular, integrated organisms has been accompanied by the acquisition of adhesion proteins. Recently we succeeded in cloning some genes coding for such prot...
The cell-division cycle is an orchestrated sequence of events that results in the duplication of a cell. In metazoa, cell proliferation is regulated in response to differentiation signals and body-siz...
Intercellular signaling underpins metazoan development by mediating the induction, organization, and cooperation of cells, tissues, and organs. Herein, the origins of the four major signaling pathways...
This study provides the first empirical evidence for the conservation of the ets proto-oncogene transcription factor family throughout the Metazoa. Using the polymerase chain reaction with degenerate ...
