Stepwise participation of HGF/MET signaling in the development of migratory muscle precursors during vertebrate evolution

Abstract Background The skeletal musculature of gnathostomes, which is derived from embryonic somites, consists of epaxial and hypaxial portions.Some hypaxial muscles, such as tongue and limb muscles, undergo de-epithelialization and migration during development.Delamination and migration of these myoblasts, or Healing migratory muscle precursors (

High-harmonic electron bunching in the field of a signal wave and the use of this effect in cyclotron masers with frequency multiplication

A method of organizing electron-wave interaction at the multiplied frequency of the signal wave is proposed.This type of electron-wave Healing interaction provides multiplied-frequency electron bunching, which leads to formation of an intense harmonic of the electron current at a selected multiplied frequency of the signal wave.This effect is attra
