Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Organ culture and transplantation experiments in the early 1960s and 1970s have demonstrated that growth and morphogenesis of the epithelium of the mammary gland are controlled by mesenchymal-epithelial interactions. The identification of molecules that provide the essential signals exchanged in mesenchymal-epithelial interactions is an area of active research. Recent evidence suggests that morphogenic programs of epithelia can be triggered by mesenchymal factors that signal via tyrosine kinase receptors. This review concentrates on the effects of two mesenchymal factors, Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor and neuregulin, on morphogenesis and differentiation of mammary epithelial cells in vitro and signalling pathways involved during morphogenesis of mammary epithelial cells.
