Interplay between intercellular signaling and cell movement in development

Cell movement and local intercellular signaling are crucial components of morphogenesis during animal development. Intercellular signaling regulates the collective movement of a cell population via direct cell-cell contact. Cell movement, conversely, can i ...

On the biomechanics of seedling anchorage

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

We propose a minimal model for the response of vegetation to pullout constraints at early development stage. We try to capture both the average mechanical properties of the root system and the stochastic component of the uprooting process of seedlings. We ...

Biomechanics of plant anchorage at early development stage

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

We propose a minimal model for the response of seedlings to pullout constraints. Central to our approach is the idea of capturing not only average mechanical properties but also the stochastic component of the uprooting process. Our model accounts on one h ...

Does Cancer Start in the Womb? Altered Mammary Gland Development and Predisposition to Breast Cancer due to in Utero Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors

Cathrin Brisken

We are now witnessing a resurgence of theories of development and carcinogenesis in which the environment is again being accepted as a major player in phenotype determination. Perturbations in the fetal environment predispose an individual to disease that ...

Chromatin organization and global regulation of Hox gene clusters

Denis Duboule

During development, a properly coordinated expression of Hox genes, within their different genomic clusters is critical for patterning the body plans of many animals with a bilateral symmetry. The fascinating correspondence between the topological organiza ...

General developmental health in the VPA-rat model of autism

Henry Markram, Georges Khazen, Kamila Markram, Mônica Regina Favre

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition diagnosed by impaired social interaction, abnormal communication and, stereotyped behaviors. While post-mortem and imaging studies have provided good insights into the neurobiological symptomology of autism, animal ...

A Subpopulation of Smooth Muscle Cells, Derived from Melanocyte-Competent Precursors, Prevents Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Friedrich Beermann

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus is a life-threatening condition frequent in premature newborns but also present in some term infants. Current mouse models of this malformation generally lead to perinatal death, not reproducing the full phenotypic spec ...

Regional changes of cortical thickness and cortical surface in children born prematurely and children born with intrauterine growth restriction at school age

Elda Fischi Gomez, Laura Ioana Gui, François Lazeyras

Premature birth and the early exposure to environmental sensory information influence the cascade of histogenetic events that occur during the development of human telencephalon. The prenatal establishment of the genetically driven number and size of the e ...

Urban Energy Simulation of a Social Housing Neighbourhood in Bogota, Colombia

Jérôme Henri Kämpf

High demographic dynamics and greater poverty in developing countries carry the urgent need to provide low cost housing to the poorest in urban regions. In Colombia the development of social housing settlements is characterized by two deficits, a quantitat ...

DL4-mediated Notch signaling is required for the development of fetal alpha beta and gamma delta T cells

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Stéphanie Claudinot

T-cell development depends upon interactions between thymocytes and thymic epithelial cells (TECs). The engagement of delta-like 4 (DL4) on TECs by Notch1 expressed by blood-borne BM-derived precursors is essential for T-cell commitment in the adult thymus ...
