- From Fankhauser 1945; illustrates top-down control where large-scale morphology is maintained despite drastically wrong cell size.
- Engineered polyploid newts with abnormally large cells and extra chromosomes develop normal kidney tubule diameters by switching molecular mechanisms on-the-fly.
- Fankhauser 1945 finding on anatomical regulation despite ploidy changes.
- Polyploid newt kidney tubules use fewer, larger cells to maintain identical organ-level structurefinding0.817Illustrates that anatomical goals are pursued via flexible molecular mechanisms rather than fixed cell-count programs.
- Shows diverse molecular mechanisms serve higher-level anatomical specification despite radical changes in cell size and quantity.
- When cell size was doubled, tubules used fewer cells; when quadrupled, a single cell formed the tubule by cytoskeletal deformation, maintaining correct lumen diameter.
- Shows multi-scale anatomical homeostasis using different cellular mechanisms.
- Single newt cell can wrap around itself to form a kidney tubule when cell size is artificially increased.finding0.744From Fankhauser (1945), demonstrates diverse molecular mechanisms serving a higher-level anatomical specification.
