Mosaic cellular pattern in the mouse olfactory epithelium. (A) Schematic illustrations of the apical surface of the mouse olfactory epithelium from embryonic day (E) 14 to postnatal day (P) 28 (Katsunuma et al., 2016). Yellow, olfactory cells; pink, supporting cells. (B) Expression pattern of nectins and cadherins in the olfactory epithelium (Katsunuma et al., 2016). (C) Cellular patterning in the olfactory epithelia of wild-type and αN-catenin knockout (KO) mice (Katsunuma et al., 2016). Arrowheads point to examples of aberrantly attached olfactory cells. (D) Cellular patterns generated by various combinations of cell adhesive affinities (Katsunuma et al., 2016). (Upper) Schematic illustrations of the relative adhesive affinity between the cells. (Lower) Schematic illustrations of the generated cellular patterns.
