Description:
Development requires tissue growth as well as cell diversification. To address how these processes are coordinated, we analyzed the development of molecularly distinct domains of neural progenitors in the mouse and chick neural tube. We show that during development, these domains undergo changes in size that do not scale with changes in overall tissue size. Our data show that domain proportions are first established by opposing morphogen gradients and subsequently controlled by domain-specific regulation of differentiation rate but not differences in proliferation rate. Regulation of differentiation rate is key to maintaining domain proportions while accommodating both intra- and interspecies variations in size. Thus, the sequential control of progenitor specification and differentiation elaborates pattern without requiring that signaling gradients grow as tissues expand.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4228193/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4228193/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kicheva, Anna -- Bollenbach, Tobias -- Ribeiro, Ana -- Valle, Helena Perez -- Lovell-Badge, Robin -- Episkopou, Vasso -- Briscoe, James -- 098326/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- MC_U117560541/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U120074332/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MR/J013331/1/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- R01 EB016629/EB/NIBIB NIH HHS/ -- U117560541/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- WT098326MA/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Sep 26;345(6204):1254927. doi: 10.1126/science.1254927.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Medical Research Council (MRC), National Institute for Medical Research, The Ridgeway, Mill Hill, London, NW71AA, UK. ; Institute of Science and Technology (IST) Austria, Am Campus 1, A - 3400 Klosterneuburg, Austria. ; Medical Research Council (MRC), National Institute for Medical Research, The Ridgeway, Mill Hill, London, NW71AA, UK.
