The anchor cell initiates dorsal lumen formation during C. elegans vulval tubulogenesis.

Developmental biology - 15 Apr 2009

Estes Kathleen A, Hanna-Rose Wendy

Abstract excerpt

Tubulogenesis and lumen formation are critical to the development of most organs. We study Caenorhabditis elegans vulval and uterine development to probe the complex mechanisms that mediate these events. Development of the vulva and the ventral uterus is coordinated by the inductive cell-signaling activity of a gonadal cell called the anchor cell (AC). We demonstrate that in addition to its function in specifying...
