NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY-1999

这一行动资助了NSF 1999年的少数民族博士后研究奖学金。该研究和培训计划是在动物发育生物学领域进行的，名为“生长因子信号在小鼠肾小管发育中的作用”。Wnt和成纤维细胞生长因子在肾单位形态发生的信号转导中的作用正在被阐明。时间推移显微镜正在对培养的小鼠胚胎肾脏外植体进行研究，这些外植体过度表达Wnt和Fgf信号通路中绿色荧光蛋白标记的成分。Wnt和Fgf信号的调节将与细胞结构和运动的变化相关。

This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for 1999.The research and training plan is in the area of animal developmental biology and is entitled "Role of growth factor signaling in kidney tubule development in the mouse." The role of Wnt and FGF are being elucidated in signaling in nephron morphogenesis. Time-lapse microscopy is being performed on cultured mouse embryonic kidney explants overexpressing green fluorescent protein-tagged components of the Wnt and FGF signaling pathways. Modulation of Wnt and FGF signaling will be correlated with alterations in cellular structure and movement.
