Embryonic frog epidermis: a model for the study of cell-cell interactions in the development of mucociliary disease
24 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Specialised epithelia such as mucociliary, secretory and transporting epithelia line all major organs, including the lung, gut and kidney. Malfunction of these epithelia is associated with many human diseases. The frog embryonic epidermis possesses mucus-secreting and multiciliated cells, and has served as an excellent model system for the biogenesis of cilia. However, ionic regulation is important for the...
