Preparation of Single-Somite Explants from Zebrafish Embryos
Andrew Charles Oates, Sundar Ram Naganathan
The body axis of vertebrate embryos is periodically subdivided into 3D multicellular units called somites. While genetic oscillations and molecular prepatterns determine the initial length-scale of somites, mechanical processes have been implicated in sett ...
JOURNAL OF VISUALIZED EXPERIMENTS2022Patterning and mechanics of somite boundaries in zebrafish embryos
Andrew Charles Oates, Sundar Ram Naganathan
The body axis of vertebrates is subdivided into repetitive compartments called somites, which give rise primarily to the segmented architecture of the musculoskeletal system in the adult body. Somites form in a sequential and rhythmic manner in embryos and ...
2020Morphogenetic degeneracies in the actomyosin cortex
One of the great challenges in biology is to understand the mechanisms by which morphogenetic processes arise from molecular activities. We investigated this problem in the context of actomyosin-based cortical flow in C. elegans zygotes, where large-scale ...
ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD2018The Sweetness of Embryonic Elongation and Differentiation
Andrew Charles Oates, Sundar Ram Naganathan
Metabolic pathways play a vital yet poorly understood role in embryogenesis. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Bulusu et al. (2017) and Oginuma et al. (2017) provide insights into the intricate relationship between metabolism and morphogenesis, showing ...
