In vitro endoderm emergence and self-organisation in the absence of extraembryonic tissues and embryonic architecture

Stefano Davide Vianello

In humans, mice, and other mammals key internal organs such as the gut, the lungs, the pancreas, and the liver all derive from the same embryonic tissue: the endoderm. The development of all of these structures thus depends on a same set of early cells, an ...

A conditional glutamatergic synaptic vesicle marker for Drosophila

Evelyne Ruchti, Brian Donal McCabe

Glutamate is a principal neurotransmitter used extensively by the nervous systems of all vertebrate and invertebrate animals. It is primarily an excitatory neurotransmitter that has been implicated in nervous system development, as well as a myriad of brai ...

Compartmentalized PGRP expression along the dipteran Bactrocera dorsalis gut forms a zone of protection for symbiotic bacteria

Bruno Lemaitre, Yichen Wang, Ping Zhang

All metazoan guts are subject to opposing pressures wherein the immune system must eliminate pathogens while tolerating the presence of symbiotic microbiota. The Imd pathway is an essential defense against invading pathogens in insect guts, but tolerance m ...

Essential role of Cp190 in physical and regulatory boundary formation

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Julien Dorier, Christian Iseli

Boundaries in animal genomes delimit contact domains with enhanced internal contact frequencies and have debated functions in limiting regulatory cross-talk between domains and guiding enhancers to target promoters. Most mammalian boundaries form by stalli ...

Miniature neurotransmission is required to maintain Drosophila synaptic structures during ageing

Olivier Burri, Evelyne Ruchti, Brian Donal McCabe, Soumya Banerjee, Samuel William Vernon, Wei Jiao

The decline of neuronal synapses is an established feature of ageing accompanied by the diminishment of neuronal function, and in the motor system at least, a reduction of behavioural capacity. Here, we have investigated Drosophila motor neuron synaptic te ...

The role of immune effectors in controlling Drosophila-microbes interactions

Alice Marra

All live beings are in constant interaction with microorganisms that may be beneficial, deleterious or commensal. Insects in particular live in close contact with microorganisms. This is especially true for species, like the fruit fly Drosophila melanogast ...

The Drosophila Baramicin polypeptide gene protects against fungal infection

Bruno Lemaitre, Mark Austin Hanson, Igor Iatsenko, Alice Marra

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster combats microbial infection by producing a battery of effector peptides that are secreted into the haemolymph. Technical difficulties prevented the investigation of these short effector genes until the recent advent of ...

The integrated stress response contributes to tRNA synthetase-associated peripheral neuropathy

Yu Bai, Cédric Gobet, René Uwe Schneider

Dominant mutations in ubiquitously expressed transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetase genes cause axonal peripheral neuropathy, accounting for at least six forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. Genetic evidence in mouse and Drosophila models suggests a gain-of ...

Self-organized patterning of cell morphology via mechanosensitive feedback

Marko Popovic

Tissue organization is often characterized by specific patterns of cell morphology. How such patterns emerge in developing tissues is a fundamental open question. Here, we investigate the emergence of tissue-scale patterns of cell shape and mechanical tiss ...

Clinical connectome fingerprints of cognitive decline

Enrico Amico, Emahnuel Troisi Lopez

Brain connectome fingerprinting is rapidly rising as a novel influential field in brain network analysis. Yet, it is still unclear whether connectivity fingerprints could be effectively used for mapping and predicting disease progression from human brain d ...
