In the ten-year interval since the first edition of this volume went to press, our knowledge of
extracellular matrix (ECM) function and structure has enor mously increased. Extracellular …

Epithelium is the tissue phenotype of early embryos and primitive adults of the chordate
phylum. A second tissue type, however, is produced by epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (…

This review centers on the role of the mesenchymal cell in development. The creation of this
cell is a remarkable process, one where a tightly knit, impervious epithelium suddenly …

This study of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation and epithelial cell polarity in vitro reveals
that environmental conditions can have a profound effect on the epithelial phenotype, cell …

Members of the Snail family of transcription factors have been shown to induce epithelial-mesenchymal
transition (EMT), a fundamental mechanism of embryogenesis and progressive …

Epithelial‐mesenchymal transformation (EMT) is an important process in development that
is characterized by loss of E‐cadherin, β‐catenin relocalization, and acquisition of elongated …

In this review, we define the two major tissue types, epithelium and mesenchyme, and we
describe the transformations (transdifferentiations) of epithelium to mesenchyme (EMT) and …

This study builds on research addressing intergenerational ambivalence by considering
emotional ambivalence toward the wider social network. Men and women ages 13 to 99 (N = …

The primitive epithelial layers of the chick blastoderm, the epiblast and hypoblast, are underlain
by discontinuous basement laminae. Primary mesenchymal cells, which comprise the …
