Retinoic acid as a modulator of proximal-distal patterning and branching morphogenesis of the avian lung

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Retinoic acid modulates numerous cellular events, namely, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and patterning, hence influencing both embryo development and adult homeostasis. In vitro explant culture is a valuable technique for studying the impact of growth factors and signaling molecules, such as retinoic acid, in organ development since tissue architecture is maintained. This technique allows controlled supplementation of culture medium and straightforward analysis of its effect on morphogenesis. This chapter describes the detailed protocol for culturing embryonic chick lung explants and testing the impact of retinoic acid in branching and patterning, based on morphometric and molecular analysis.
