  • ERK activation was induced by PKD2 overexpression via B-Raf signaling, providing a possible molecular mechanism of cystogenesis.

    Journal of Biological Chemistry current issue 2009

  • Although haploinsufficiency and loss of heterozygosity at the Pkd2 locus can cause cyst formation in mice, polycystin-2 is frequently expressed in the renal cyst of human ADPKD, raising the possibility that deregulated activation of PKD2 may be associated with the cystogenesis of human ADPKD.

  • When MDCK cells are maintained in 3D Matrigel cultures, polarity is efficiently achieved and coordinated with cell proliferation, enabling cystogenesis to occur by membrane separation without apoptosis

  • However, the task is complicated by the fact that during cystogenesis, different cells can be simultaneously engaged in fundamentally different activities.

  • Recently, Yu et al. [6] showed that primary human alveolar type II (AT II) epithelial cells maintained in 3D Matrigel cultures undergo cystogenesis to form alveolar-like cysts

  • We discovered a set of cell-level operating principles that enabled in silico cells to self-organize and generate systemic cystogenesis phenomena that are quantitatively indistinguishable from those observed in vitro.

    PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles 2009

  • We discovered a set of cell-level operating principles that enabled independent, interacting software objects, including those that mapped to individual AT II cells in vitro, to self-organize and generate systemic cystogenesis phenomena that were quantitatively indistinguishable from those reported in

  • TITLE: MicroRNA15a modulates expression of the cell-cycle regulator Cdc25A and affects hepatic cystogenesis in a rat model of polycystic kidney disease

    EurekAlert! - Breaking News 2008

  • 'tight adherence to a small number of axiomatic operating principles, which may map to biological counterparts underpinning in vitro cystogenesis.
