Temperature stress induces notochord abnormalities and heat shock proteins expression in larval green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris Ayres 1854)

The effects of thermal stress on survival, development and heat shock protein (hsp) expression of green sturgeon (GS) yolk-sac larvae, from hatching through yolk depletion were investigated to provide insight into effects of highly altered natural river hy ...

Evolutionary plasticity of segmentation clock networks

Andrew Charles Oates

The vertebral column is a conserved anatomical structure that defines the vertebrate phylum. The periodic or segmental pattern of the vertebral column is established early in development when the vertebral precursors, the somites, are rhythmically produced ...

The microenvironment patterns the pluripotent mouse epiblast through paracrine Furin and Pace4 proteolytic activities

Daniel Constam, Christophe Fuerer

The fate of pluripotent cells in early mouse embryos is controlled by graded Nodal signals that are activated by the endoproteases Furin and Pace4. Soluble forms of Furin and Pace4 cleave proNodal in vitro and after secretion in transfected cells, but dire ...

The Role of Nodal Processing in Pluripotent Progenitors

Anja Dietze

Nodal and its co-receptors of the EGF-CFC family are essential during chordate development, both to maintain pluripotent progenitor cells and to subsequently coordinate their allocation to the different germ layers. How these distinct Nodal activities are ...

Solar cell and its production process

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug

The present invention relates to a solar cell comprising a support (6), a back electrode layer (5), at least a hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon photoelectric device (9), and a top electrode layer (11). The back electrode layer (5) has a rough surface. ...

Role of Bicaudal-C in Left-Right Axis Formation and Kidney Morphogenesis

Charlotte Maisonneuve

The KH domain RNA binding protein Bicaudal-C is known to play a role in anterior-posterior (AP) patterning in Drosophila by acting on oskar mRNA. In mammals, its expression is induced at late gastrulation in the mesodermal layer of the ventral node. Renal ...

Additive and global functions of HoxA cluster genes in mesoderm derivatives

Denis Duboule, Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch

Hox genes encode transcription factors that play a central role in the specification of regional identities along the anterior to posterior body axis. In the developing mouse embryo, Hox genes from all four genomic clusters are involved in range of develop ...

Segment number and axial identity in a segmentation clock period mutant.

Andrew Charles Oates

A species-specific number of segments is a hallmark of the vertebrate body plan. The first segmental structures in the vertebrate embryo are the somites, which bud sequentially from the growing presomitic mesoderm (PSM). The Clock and Wavefront model for s ...

Flexible and stretchable micro-electrodes for in vitro and in vivo neural interfaces

Stéphanie Lacour

Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are designed to monitor and/or stimulate extracellularly neuronal activity. However, the biomechanical and structural mismatch between current MEAs and neural tissues remains a challenge for neural interfaces. This article desc ...

Microenvironmental reprogramming of thymic epithelial cells to skin multipotent stem cells

Yann Barrandon, Stéphanie Claudinot, Paola Bonfanti, Alessandro Wataru Amici

The thymus develops from the third pharyngeal pouch of the anterior gut and provides the necessary environment for thymopoiesis (the process by which thymocytes differentiate into mature T lymphocytes) and the establishment and maintenance of self-toleranc ...
