It is well documented that the MAPs, MAP2 and tau, play pivotal roles in neurite outgrowth. Several isoforms of MAP2 and tau are coexpressed in neurons, suggesting that the pattern of neurite outgrowth results from a functional equilibrium among these isoforms. In the present study, by coexpressing

## Abstract The neuronal microtubuleβassociated protein tau promotes microtubule assembly and has been implicated in the development of axonal morphology. In this study, PC12 cells were transiently transfected with constructs coding fusion proteins of human tau with green fluorescent protein (GFP).
The actin cytoskeleton is an integral component of the cell-cell adherens junction complex. We used fluorescence labeling of actin filaments and time-lapse laser scanning confocal microscopy to investigate the functional relationship between the organization of the actin cytoskeleton and formation o
During early cardiac morphogenesis, outflow tract (OT) and atrio-ventricular (AV) endothelial cells differentiate into mesenchymal cells, which have characteristics of smooth muscle-like myofibroblasts, and which form endocardial cushion tissue, the primordia of valves, and septa in the adult heart.
