Bifacial stem cell niches in fish and plants
Highlights • The cambium in plants and the ciliary marginal zone (CMZ) in the vertebrate eye produce tissues in a bidirectional manner. • Homeobox transcription factors are key regulators of the cambium and the CMZ. • Intercellular signaling cascades are essential for the patterning of both the camb...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • The cambium in plants and the ciliary marginal zone (CMZ) in the vertebrate eye produce tissues in a bidirectional manner. • Homeobox transcription factors are key regulators of the cambium and the CMZ. • Intercellular signaling cascades are essential for the patterning of both the cambium and the CMZ. • The comparison of regulatory principles found in the cambium and the CMZ helps to reveal commonalities of bifacial stem cell niches. |
