Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the maternal–embryonic relationship in
viviparous fishes. Viviparity is a highly successful mode of reproduction that has evolved …

Ovarian carcinomas are thought to arise in the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). Although
this tissue forms a simple epithelial covering on the ovarian surface, OSE cells exhibit some …

The primary regulator of dopamine availability in the brain is the dopamine transporter (DAT),
a plasma membrane protein that drives reuptake of released dopamine from the …

In this paper we provide evidence that ectoplasmic specializations are a form of intercellular
adhesion junction. Ectoplasmic specializations, found at basal junctions between adjacent …

… fluid enter the electron-lucent vesicles (Grove and Wourms, '83a; Grove, '85). Dense-staining …
glycine by late-stage embryos was restricted to surface cells bearing microvilli (Grove, '85). …

… Because embryos at stage 10 possess specializations for nutrient absorption on their
surfaces (Grove and Wourms, '91), we postulate that the altered structure of their follicle cells is a …

We have investigated, using indirect immunofluorescence techniques, the possibility that
vinculin is a component of Sertoli cell ectoplasmic specializations. Affinity‐purified polyclonal …

… , gravin is strongly expressed in subconfluent endothelial cell cultures and its expression
is upregulated in cells at the wound edge in wounded endothelial cell monolayers [Grove, …

Hypoxia has been widely implicated in many pathological conditions, including those
associated with inflammation and tumorigenesis. A number of recent studies have implicated …

… Cells (1 × 10 6 ) were seeded into the top insert of a FluoroBlok transwell migration culture
insert (BD Biosciences). Both the upper and lower chambers contained low serum medium …
