An automated microfluidic platform for C. elegans embryo arraying, phenotyping, and long-term live imaging

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Alexis Pierre Henri Marette, Virginija Jovaisaite, Shreya Narasimhan

Studies of the real-time dynamics of embryonic development require a gentle embryo handling method, the possibility of long-term live imaging during the complete embryogenesis, as well as of parallelization providing a population's statistics, while keepin ...

Lead Optimisation of a Novel Small Molecule Notch Inhibitor

Viktoria Reinmüller

Notch signalling represents a form of cell-to-cell communication that plays a pivotal role for cellular organisation during embryonic and postnatal development, as well as in the homeostasis of adult organs and tissues. Malfunction of this signalling pathw ...

A Wearable Camera Detects Gaze Peculiarities during Social Interactions in Young Children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders

Aude Billard, Patrick Jermann, Basilio Noris, Silvia Magrelli

We report on the study of gazes, conducted on children with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), by using a novel head-mounted eye-tracking device called the WearCam. Due to the portable nature of the WearCam, we are able to monitor naturalistic intera ...

Temporal dynamics and developmental memory of 3D chromatin architecture at Hox gene loci

Denis Duboule, Marion Leleu, Daniël Noordermeer, Patrick Schorderet

Hox genes are essential regulators of embryonic development. Their step-wise transcriptional activation follows their genomic topology and the various states of activation are subsequently memorized into domains of progressively overlapping gene products. ...

Composition of the DNA-uptake complex of Vibrio cholerae

Melanie Blokesch, Lisa Christina Metzger

Natural competence for transformation is a developmental program that allows certain bacteria to take up free extracellular DNA from the environment and integrate this DNA into their genome. Thereby, natural transformation acts as mode of horizontal gene t ...

Vascular Modulatory Functions of Macrophages

Michele De Palma, Ioanna Keklikoglou

Monocytes/macrophages have long been regarded as important regulators of angiogenesis and vascular remodeling in both developmental and pathological processes. Historically, the ability of macrophages to promote vascular growth has been primarily attribute ...

Enhancer loops appear stable during development and are associated with paused polymerase

Daniël Noordermeer

Developmental enhancers initiate transcription and are fundamental to our understanding of developmental networks, evolution and disease. Despite their importance, the properties governing enhancer-promoter interactions and their dynamics during embryogene ...

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 ...

Hyper-emotional neurophysiology in a rat model of autism

Mônica Regina Favre

Autism is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by a spectrum of symptoms of social impairment, abnormal communication, and unusual restricted, inflexible behaviors. Patients also frequently present various levels of se ...

Opening a can of centipedes: New insights into mechanisms of body segmentation

Andrew Charles Oates

The search for a common developmental genetic mechanism of body segmentation appears to become more difficult, and more interesting, as new segmented organisms are added to the roster. Recent work in this journal by Brena and Akam on segmentation of the ge ...
