Biomechanical forces promote blood development through prostaglandin E2 and the cAMP-PKA signaling axis

Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Nan Li

Blood flow promotes emergence of definitive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the developing embryo, yet the signals generated by hemodynamic forces that influence hematopoietic potential remain poorly defined. Here we show that fluid shear stress endows ...

Generation of dispersed presomitic mesoderm cell cultures for imaging of the zebrafish segmentation clock in single cells

Andrew Charles Oates, Daniele Soroldoni

Segmentation is a periodic and sequential morphogenetic process in vertebrates. This rhythmic formation of blocks of tissue called somites along the body axis is evidence of a genetic oscillator patterning the developing embryo. In zebrafish, the intracell ...

SAS-1 Is a C2 Domain Protein Critical for Centriole Integrity in C. elegans

Pierre Gönczy, Graham Knott, Simon Blanchoud, Lukas von Tobel, Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles important for the formation of cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Despite progress in understanding the underlying assembly mechanisms, how centriole integrity is ensured is incompletely understood, including in sp ...

Polarity establishment, asymmetric division and segregation of fate determinants in early C. elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy

Polarity establishment, asymmetric division, and acquisition of cell fates are critical steps during earlydevelopment. In this review, we discuss processes that set up the embryonic axes, with an emphasis onpolarity establishment and asymmetric division. W ...

Characterizing the localization and role of lin-5 and era-1 mRNAs in early C. elegans embryos

Zoltán Péter Spiró

Asymmetric cell division is essential for the generation of diversity during development and the function of stem cell lineages. The Caenorhabditis elegans zygote is an attractive model to investigate the mechanisms of spindle positioning during asymmetric ...

Mechanisms of differential centriole inheritance in C. elegans

Lukas von Tobel

Centrosomes are the principal microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of animal cells and comprise a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). Centriole number must be carefully regulated to ensure bipolar spindle formation and thus fait ...

The Channel-Activating Protease CAP1/Prss8 Is Required for Placental Labyrinth Maturation

Simona Frateschi, Friedrich Beermann, Roch-Philippe Charles, Aline Dousse

The serine protease CAP1/Prss8 is crucial for skin barrier function, lung alveolar fluid clearance and has been unveiled as diagnostic marker for specific cancer types. Here, we show that a constitutive knockout of CAP1/Prss8 leads to embryonic lethality. ...

VEGFR-3 Neutralization Inhibits Ovarian Lymphangiogenesis, Follicle Maturation, and Murine Pregnancy

Didier Trono, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Joseph Rutkowski, Seung Tae Lee, Miriella Carmela Pasquier, Jong Eun Ihm, Vivianne Greenwood

Lymphatic vessels surround follicles within the ovary, but their roles in folliculogenesis and pregnancy, as well as the necessity of Lymphangiogenesis in follicle maturation and health, are undefined. We used systemic delivery of mF4-31C1, a specific anta ...

Patterning embryos with oscillations: Structure, function and dynamics of the vertebrate segmentation clock

Andrew Charles Oates

The segmentation clock is an oscillating genetic network thought to govern the rhythmic and sequential subdivision of the elongating body axis of the vertebrate embryo into somites: the precursors of the segmented vertebral column. Understanding how the rh ...

Predicting Adult Fish Acute Lethality with the Zebrafish Embryo: Relevance of Test Duration, Endpoints, Compound Properties, and Exposure Concentration Analysis

Kristin Schirmer

The zebrafish embryo toxicity test has been proposed as an alternative for the acute fish toxicity test, which is required by various regulations for environmental risk assessment of chemicals. We. investigated the reliability of the embryo test by probing ...
