Venus trap in the mouse embryo reveals distinct molecular dynamics underlying specification of first embryonic lineages

Mammalian development begins with the segregation of embryonic and extra-embryonic lineages in the blastocyst. Recent studies revealed cell-to-cell gene expression heterogeneity and dynamic cell rearrangements during mouse blastocyst formation. Thus, mecha ...

Concise Reviews: In Vitro-Produced Pancreas Organogenesis Models in Three Dimensions: Self-Organization From Few Stem Cells or Progenitors

Filippo De Franceschi, Anne Grapin-Botton, Chiara Greggio

Three-dimensional models of organ biogenesis have recently flourished. They promote a balance between stem/progenitor cell expansion and differentiation without the constraints of flat tissue culture vessels, allowing for autonomous self-organization of ce ...

Isogeometric Analysis of Electrophysiological Models on Surfaces

Alessandro Samuele Patelli

In this project we numerically simulate electrophysiological models for cardiac applications by means of Isogeometric Analysis. Specifically, we aim at understanding the advantages of using high order continuous NURBS (Non-UniformRational B-Splines) basis ...

The chicken chorioallantoic membrane model in biology, medicine and bioengineering

Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

The chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a simple, highly vascularized extraembryonic membrane, which performs multiple functions during embryonic development, including but not restricted to gas exchange. Over the last two decades, interest in the CA ...

The evolution of lncRNA repertoires and expression patterns in tetrapods

Anamaria Necsulea, Magali Soumillon

Only a very small fraction of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are well characterized. The evolutionary history of lncRNAs can provide insights into their functionality, but the absence of lncRNA annotations in non-model organisms has precluded comparative an ...

A doppler effect in embryonic pattern formation

Andrew Charles Oates, Daniele Soroldoni

During embryonic development, temporal and spatial cues are coordinated to generate a segmented body axis. In sequentially segmenting animals, the rhythm of segmentation is reported to be controlled by the time scale of genetic oscillations that periodical ...

Temporal dynamics and developmental memory of 3D chromatin architecture at Hox gene loci

Denis Duboule, Marion Leleu, Daniël Noordermeer, Patrick Schorderet

Hox genes are essential regulators of embryonic development. Their step-wise transcriptional activation follows their genomic topology and the various states of activation are subsequently memorized into domains of progressively overlapping gene products. ...

Evolutionally dynamic L1 regulation in embryonic stem cells

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Julien Léonard Duc, Marc Samuel Friedli, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Gabriela Ecco, Andrea Coluccio, Suk Min Jang

Mobile elements are important evolutionary forces that challenge genomic integrity. Long interspersed element-1 (L1, also known as LINE-1) is the only autonomous transposon still active in the human genome. It displays an unusual pattern of evolution, with ...

Interplay of TRIM28 and DNA methylation in controlling human endogenous retroelements

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Julien Léonard Duc, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Flavia Marzetta

Reverse transcription-derived sequences account for at least half of the human genome. Although these retroelements are formidable motors of evolution, they can occasionally cause disease, and accordingly are inactivated during early embryogenesis through ...

In Vitro Pancreas Organogenesis from Dispersed Mouse Embryonic Progenitors

Filippo De Franceschi, Anne Grapin-Botton, Chiara Greggio

The pancreas is an essential organ that regulates glucose homeostasis and secretes digestive enzymes. Research on pancreas embryogenesis has led to the development of protocols to produce pancreatic cells from stem cells. The whole embryonic organ can be c ...
