Development of a Robotic Microsurgeon for Embryonic Research

Understanding how biological matter takes its shape is instrumental to biology, bioengineering, medicine, and bioinspired engineering. Gaining information on the principles of morphogenesis could enable clinicians to correct developmental abnormalities, ev ...

A Robotic Surgery Platform for Automated Tissue Micromanipulation in Zebrafish Embryos

Andrew Charles Oates, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Ece Özelçi, Laurel Ann Rohde, Erfan Etesami

Microsurgical manipulations are key experimental techniques in life science research, particularly in embryology. These techniques are most often performed manually by highly skilled scientists, posing limitations on speed, precision, and reproducibility. ...

Mechanistic Understanding of Neurobehavioral Effects of Insecticides on the Larvae of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Sarah-Katharina Könemann

Due to conservation of neuronal functioning across phyla, molecular targets of insecticides are similar in insects and vertebrates. Insecticides thus pose a risk to aquatic vertebrates,such as fish, and potentially cause neurotoxic effects. Although these ...

The interactome of KRAB zinc finger proteins reveals the evolutionary history of their functional diversification

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Julien Léonard Duc, Michaël Imbeault, Andrea Coluccio, Julien Paul André Pontis, Pierre-Yves Joseph Laurent Helleboid, Cécile Piot, Ruedi Aebersold

Krüppel‐associated box (KRAB)‐containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) are encoded in the hundreds by the genomes of higher vertebrates, and many act with the heterochromatin‐inducing KAP1 as repressors of transposable elements (TEs) during early embryogene ...

Modulation of Phase Shift between Wnt and Notch Signaling Oscillations Controls Mesoderm Segmentation

Christoph Merten

How signaling dynamics encode information is a central question in biology. During vertebrate development, dynamic Notch signaling oscillations control segmentation of the presomitic mesoderm (PSM). In mouse embryos, this molecular clock comprises signalin ...

Mutations in Bcl9 and Pygo genes cause congenital heart defects by tissue-specific perturbation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling

Michel Aguet

Bcl9 and Pygopus (Pygo) are obligate Wnt/beta-catenin cofactors in Drosophila, yet their contribution to Wnt signaling during vertebrate development remains unresolved. Combining zebrafish and mouse genetics, we document a conserved, beta-catenin-associate ...

KRAB zinc finger proteins

Didier Trono, Michaël Imbeault, Gabriela Ecco

Kruppel-associated box domain zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are the largest family of transcriptional regulators in higher vertebrates. Characterized by an N-terminal KRAB domain and a C-terminal array of DNA-binding zinc fingers, they participate, toge ...

Faster embryonic segmentation through elevated Delta-Notch signalling

Andrew Charles Oates

An important step in understanding biological rhythms is the control of period. A multicellular, rhythmic patterning system termed the segmentation clock is thought to govern the sequential production of the vertebrate embryo's body segments, the somites. ...

Persistence, period and precision of autonomous cellular oscillators from the zebrafish segmentation clock

Andrew Charles Oates

In vertebrate development, the sequential and rhythmic segmentation of the body axis is regulated by a "segmentation clock". This clock is comprised of a population of coordinated oscillating cells that together produce rhythmic gene expression patterns in ...

Timing by rhythms: Daily clocks and developmental rulers

Andrew Charles Oates

Biological rhythms are widespread, allowing organisms to temporally organize their behavior and metabolism in advantageous ways. Such proper timing of molecular and cellular events is critical to their development and health. This is best understood in the ...
