I. Introduction B ASIC AND acidic fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are closely related
molecules that show a similar range of biological activities. They differ, however, in some of …

The mammalian permanent kidney consists of three cell lineages of different origin: the
epithelial cells of the ureter bud, the mesenchymal cells of the nephric blastema and the …

Based on the existing literature, a model is presented that postulates a “dynamic reciprocity”
between the extracellular matrix (ECM) on the one hand and the cytoskeleton and the …

We performed subtractive and differential hybridization for transcript comparison between
murine fibroblasts and isogenic epithelium, and observed only a few novel intracellular …

Several mouse genes designated 'Pax genes' contain a highly conserved DNA sequence
homologous to the paired box of Drosophila. Here we describe the isolation of Pax8, a novel …

The murine genome contains multiple genes with protein domains homologous to the
Drosophila paired box, present in certain segmentation genes. At least one of these murine …

Recent evidence indicates a crucial role for paired box genes in mouse and human
embryogenesis. The murine Pax8 gene encodes a sequence-specific transcription factor …

Experimental insertion of a retrovirus into the germ line of mice has resulted in an embryonic
recessive lethal mutation. Integration of the proviral genome occurred at the 5′ end of the …

Many aspects of gene replication and expression have been solved by modern molecular
biology and the study of viruses, bacteria and yeasts. The fundamental problem of cell …
