| Abstract |
Epithelial and endothelial tubes form the basic structure of many organs and tissues in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, zebrafish and mammals. Comparison of how tubes form during development defines several pathways that generate a single unbranched tube or dichotomously branching tubular networks. The formation of tubes can be induced directly by intrinsic signals within epithelial primordia or by inductive signaling between adjacent epithelia and the mesenchyme. Both processes are hierarchically controlled by master transcriptional regulators, growth factors and their receptors, directed cell migration and cellular reorganization, which is controlled by changes in the cytoskeleton and protein trafficking. This review provides a summary of these pathways based upon articles published in the Tube Morphogenesis Series in Trends in Cell Biology. |
