cross section: Tilia Early one year stem common name: Linden or Basswood magnification: 100x Berkshire Community College Bioscience Image Library In this young stem, early in the first year of growth, the well cutinized and single layered epidermis overlays a cortex with two distinct layers; an outer cortex of tightly packed collenchyma and an inner cortex of open airy parenchyma. Within the first year of growth the underling activity of the cork cambium begins to replace the cutinized epidermis and outer cortical tissues with a protective layer of cork rich periderm. The outermost layer of periderm consists of layers of cork cells, the phellem, which produce the waterproofing substance suberin. Cork cells are dead at maturity. Deep to the phellem is a layer of living cork cambium or phellogen and just beneath that layers of cork parenchyma or phelloderm. The vascular cylinder consists of an outer ring of primary phloem, a middle ring of vascular cambium and a deeper larger ring of primary xylem. Bulging into the pith are small masses of the first xylem consisting of small protoxylem cells overlaid by a few larger, heavier walled cells of metaxylem. Above this and extending to the cambium are columns of primary xylem divided by narrow rays, extending from the large parenchymatous pith to the phloem. The deepest zone of primary xylem is separated from the parenchymatous central pith by a well defined starch sheath of dark staining starch filled parenchyma cells. Many cells in the periderm, cortex and pith contain dark staining tannins. Technical Questions:[email protected]

The pancreas originates from two epithelial evaginations of the foregut, which consist of multipotent epithelial progenitors that organize into a complex tubular epithelial network. The trunk domain of each epithelial branch consists of bipotent pancreatic progenitors (bi-PPs) that give rise to both duct and endocrine lineages, whereas the tips give rise to acinar cells1. Here we identify the extrinsic and intrinsic signalling mechanisms that coordinate the fate-determining transcriptional events underlying these lineage decisions1,2. Single-cell analysis of pancreatic bipotent pancreatic progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells reveal that cell confinement is a prerequisite for endocrine specification, whereas spreading drives the progenitors towards a ductal fate. Mechanistic studies identify the interaction of extracellular matrix (ECM) with integrin α5 as the extracellular cue that cell-autonomously, via the F-actin–YAP1–Notch mechanosignalling axis, controls the fate of bipotent pancreatic progenitors. Whereas ECM–integrin α5 signalling promotes differentiation towards the duct lineage, endocrinogenesis is stimulated when this signalling cascade is disrupted. This cascade can be disrupted pharmacologically or genetically to convert bipotent pancreatic progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells to hormone-producing islet cells. Our findings identify the cell-extrinsic and intrinsic mechanotransduction pathway that acts as gatekeeper in the fate decisions of bipotent pancreatic progenitors in the developing pancreas. Single-cell analysis reveals that interactions with the extracellular matrix via integrin α5 and mechanotransducer YAP1 determine whether pancreatic progenitors develop along the duct or endocrine lineages.
