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 ...

Reaction wavefront theory of notochord segment patterning

Andrew Charles Oates

The vertebrate axis is segmented into repetitive structures, the vertebrae. In fish, these segmented structures are thought to form from the paraxial mesoderm and the adjacent notochord. Recent work revealed an autonomous patterning mechanism in the zebraf ...

Deconstructing body axis morphogenesis in zebrafish embryos using robot-assisted tissue micromanipulation

Andrew Charles Oates, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Ece Özelçi, Erik Mailand, Matthias Rüegg

Classic microsurgical techniques, such as those used in the early 1900s by Mangold and Spemann, have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of embryonic development. However, these techniques are highly specialized, leading to issues of inter-ope ...

Tp63-expressing adult epithelial stem cells cross lineages boundaries revealing latent hairy skin competence

Yann Barrandon, Ariane Rochat, Stéphanie Claudinot, Paola Bonfanti, Daniel-Alexandre Littman, Christèle Gonneau

The formation of hair follicles, a landmark of mammals, requires complex mesenchymal-epithelial interactions and it is commonly believed that embryonic epidermal cells are the only cells that can respond to hair follicle morphogenetic signals in vivo. Here ...

Engineered signaling centers for the spatially controlled patterning of human pluripotent stem cells

Matthias Lütolf, Felix Naef, Yoji Tabata, Eric Paquet, François Réal Rivest, Ambroise Roger Vuaridel, Andrea Manfrin

Signaling centers, localized groups of cells that secrete morphogens, play a key role in early development and organogenesis by orchestrating spatial cell fate patterning. Here we present a microfluidic approach that exposes human pluripotent stem cell (hP ...

BMP signaling specifies the development of a large and fast CNS synapse

Graham Knott, Ralf Schneggenburger, Enida Gjoni, Elin Kristina Kronander, Le Xiao

excitatory synapses with multiple active zones ensure reliable and fast information transfer at specific points in neuronal circuits. However, the mechanisms that determine synapse size in CNS circuits are largely unknown. Here we use the calyx of Held syn ...

Partial promoter substitutions generating transcriptional sentinels of diverse signaling pathways in embryonic stem cells and mice

Anne Grapin-Botton

Extracellular signals in development, physiology, homeostasis and disease often act by regulating transcription. Herein we describe a general method and specific resources for determining where and when such signaling occurs in live animals and for systema ...

Breathe in and straighten your back: Hypoxia, notch, and scoliosis

Andrew Charles Oates

In this issue of Cell, Sparrow et al. propose a new mechanism for sporadically occurring congenital scoliosis in which Notch signaling and hypoxia converge in the embryo on somite patterning via the segmentation clock. This interaction between hypoxia and ...

Analysis of the dynamics of limb transcriptomes during mouse development

Denis Duboule, Felix Naef, István Gyurján

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The development of vertebrate limbs has been a traditional system to study fundamental processes at work during ontogenesis, such as the establishment of spatial cellular coordinates, the effect of diffusible morphogenetic molecules o ...
