QUÉ SIGNIFICA MORPHOGEN EN INGLÉS
Morfógeno
Un morfógeno es una sustancia que gobierna el patrón de desarrollo de tejidos en el proceso de morfogénesis, y las posiciones de los diversos tipos de células especializadas dentro de un tejido. Más precisamente, un morfógeno es una molécula de señalización que actúa directamente sobre las células para producir respuestas celulares específicas dependiendo de su concentración local. Dado que los morfógenos se difunden a través de los tejidos de un embrión durante el desarrollo temprano, se establecen gradientes de concentración. Estos gradientes impulsan el proceso de diferenciación de células no especializadas en diferentes tipos de células, formando finalmente todos los tejidos y órganos del cuerpo.
definición de morphogen en el diccionario inglés
La definición de morfógeno en el diccionario es una sustancia química que se encuentra en el tejido y que influye en el desarrollo celular durante la morfogénesis formando un gradiente de concentración.

Life: The Science of Biology
Morphogen gradients provide positional information During development, the key
cellular question, "What am I (or what will I be)?" is often answered in part by "

Shh and Gli Signalling in Development
To qualify as a morphogen, a signal must fulfil two criteria: to form a concentration
gradient, and to elicit distinct responses at different concentrations. Cells
encounter different concentrations of a morphogen according to their distance
from the ...

Nickolas O. Grachevsky. Shh was first reported as a morphogen in the limb
development (Figure 2A). Classical grafting experiments using chick embryos

Biological Physics of the Developing Embryo
Here the effect of the morphogen spreads as if by diffusion, but what is actually
propagating across the domain is an activity passed from cell to cell by signaling
rather than by any substance (Reilly and Melton, 1996). In addition, morphogens

The concept of a morphogen can be traced to the turn of the twentieth century,
when Morgan postulated the presence of 'formative substances' as the basis for
differ- ent regeneration rates in worms (Morgan, 1901). Very soon thereafter,

Spyros Papageorgiou,

By definition, a morphogen acts locally to organize the spatial pattern of cell
differention by virtue of spatial concentration differences. A high concentration of
a morphogen at location 1 specifies cell type or structure A, a lower concentration
at ...

Wnt Signaling in Development
As a minimal definition, an extracellular morphogen is a molecule that can
