Organoids as tools for fundamental discovery and translation-A Keystone Symposia report
Complex three-dimensional in vitro organ-like models, or organoids, offer a unique biological tool with distinct advantages over two-dimensional cell culture systems, which can be too simplistic, and animal models, which can be too complex and may fail to ...
WILEY2022Inter-embryo gene expression variability recapitulates the hourglass pattern of evo-devo
Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Michael Vincent Frochaux
Background The evolution of embryological development has long been characterized by deep conservation. In animal development, the phylotypic stage in mid-embryogenesis is more conserved than either early or late stages among species within the same phylum ...
2020Individual differences in sensory sensitivity: Further lessons from an Autism model
Henry Markram, Kamila Markram, Mônica Regina Favre
In this commentary, we join Ward (this issue) in the usefulness of conceptualizing neural output in terms of signal and noise relationships, to create the missing links between neural, behavioral and subjective sensory sensitivity. We draw from our work in ...
ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2019Coordinated Hoxd genes expression during embryogenesis is dependent on a strict disposition of genes and polarized regulators within the HoxD cluster
HOX transcription factors determine the identity of body regions along the rostro-caudal axis during bilaterian embryogenesis. In vertebrates Hox genes distinctively lie organized in dense clusters, each typically composed of a dozen paralogous transcripti ...
EPFL2018In vitro modeling of complex microenvironmental regulation of stem cells
Although stem cells hold tremendous potential for clinical applications, their in vitro manipulation remains very challenging. In vivo, stem cells reside in intricate 3D microenvironments, termed niche, in which many local and systemic extrinsic factors ar ...
EPFL2017Synthetic biomaterials as instructive extracellular microenvironments for morphogenesis in tissue engineering
Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell
A review. New generations of synthetic biomaterials are being developed at a rapid pace for use as three-dimensional extracellular microenvironments to mimic the regulatory characteristics of natural extracellular matrixes (ECMs) and ECM-bound growth facto ...
2005Mechanistic studies on the tyrosinase-catalyzed formation of the anachelin chromophore
The complex secondary metabolite anachelin, isolated from the freshwater cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica, is believed to act as siderophore, facilitating iron uptake. Its structure is characterized by a fascinating blend of polyketide, peptide, and alka ...
2005Developmental biology in Geneva: a three century-long tradition
It was in the first half of the 18th century when life sciences started to flourish in the independent republic of Geneva. However, it is difficult to identify a genuine school of developmental biologists during that era. Nevertheless, several prominent sc ...
2002Temporal colinearity and the phylotypic progression: a basis for the stability of a vertebrate Bauplan and the evolution of morphologies through heterochrony
Vertebrate Hox genes are essential for the proper organization of the body plan during development. Inactivation of these genes usually leads to important alterations, or transformations, in the identities of the affected developing structures. Hox genes a ...
1994Expression of the mouse tyrosinase gene during embryonic development: recapitulation of the temporal regulation in transgenic mice
Pigment in mammals is produced in melanocytes of the skin derived from the neural crest and in the pigmented epithelial cells of the retina derived from the optic cup. Tyrosinase (monophenol, L-dopa:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.14.18.1) is regarded as the k ...
