Asymmetric cell division is essential for the generation of diversity during development and the function of stem cell lineages. The Caenorhabditis elegans zygote is an attractive model to investigate the mechanisms of spindle positioning during asymmetric ...
Asymmetric cell division is critical for generating daughter cells that possess distinct fates during development and in stem cell lineages. Correct orientation of the mitotic spindle with respect to the polarity axis is crucial to this process. In the one ...
Understanding the dynamics of developmental and cellular processes requires documentation of their changes with appropriate temporal and spatial resolution. Furthermore, simultaneous recording from a population of embryos under identical conditions allows ...
This paper reports on a new microfluidic device for temperature stimulation of cell in in-vitro culture. Micro- electrodes in a meander shape are embedded into the microfluidic channels to generate either a temperature gradient through the culture chamber ...
Heterotrimeric G-proteins are integral to a conserved regulatory module that influences metazoan asymmetric cell division (ACD). In the Caenorhabditis elegans zygote, GOA-1 (Galpha(o)) and GPA-16 (Galpha(i)) are involved in generating forces that pull on a ...
The early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo is well suited for investigating microtubule-dependent cell division processes. In the one-cell stage, the XMAP215 homologue ZYG-9, associated with the TACC protein TAC-1, promotes microtubule growth during interphas ...
Acquisition of lineage-specific cell cycle duration is an important feature of metazoan development. In Caenorhabditis elegans, differences in cell cycle duration are already apparent in two-cell stage embryos, when the larger anterior blastomere AB divide ...
The segmentation clock is an oscillating genetic network thought to govern the rhythmic and sequential subdivision of the elongating body axis of the vertebrate embryo into somites: the precursors of the segmented vertebral column. Understanding how the rh ...
ACKGROUND: Animal studies have demonstrated better embryo development in vivo than in vitro. This pilot study tested the feasibility of using a novel in utero culture system (IUCS) to obtain normal human fertilization and embryo development. METHODS: The I ...
Understanding of the mechanisms governing spindle positioning during asymmetric division remains incomplete. During unequal division of one-cell stage C. elegans embryos, the Galpha proteins GOA-1 and GPA-16 act in a partially redundant manner to generate ...
