Choose the correct match.
Process |
Definition |
a. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition |
i. The phenomenon, whereby cells intercalate to narrow the tissue and at the same time lengthen it. |
b. De-adhesion |
ii. The process in which cells that had formerly been part of an epithelium lose their attachments and become individual, migrating cells. |
c. Permissive interaction |
iii. The cadherins that couple epithelial cells together are degraded, thereby allowing the cells to become free from their neighbors. |
d. convergent extension |
iv. The responding tissue has already been specified and needs only an environment that allows the expression of these traits. |

Following statements regarding to signaling pathways that control the properties of germline stem cells in drosophila.
A. The signaling molecules—the TGF-β-family proteins Dpp and Gbb as well as Hedgehog (Hh)—are maintain the self -renewal property of germline stem cells by the repression of differentiation factor.
B. Both E-cadherin and Arm are important in maintaining the germline stem-cell niche and regulate the proliferation of stem cells.

all tissue types possess a unique stem cell niche, and despite many differences among the niche architecture of different tissues, several common principles of stem cell regulation can be applied to all environments. These principles involve extracellular mechanisms leading to intracellular changes that regulate stem cell behavior.
Column A |
Column B |
I. Extracellular regulatory mechanisms |
i. Regulation by endocrine, paracrine, or juxtacrine mechanisms |
II. Intracellular regulatory mechanisms |
ii. Regulation by a network of transcription factors |
iii. Epigenetic regulation |
|
iv. Regulation by cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix adhesions |
|
v. Regulation by cytoplasmic determinants |
Match the following regulatory mechanism (column A) with the factors that regulate stem cell behavior (column B).
