Segmentation of Developing Human Embryo in Time-lapse Microscopy

Mathieu Salzmann

Being able to efficiently segment a developing embryo from background clutter constitutes an important step in automated monitoring of human embryonic cells. State-of-the-art automatic segmentation methods remain ill-suited to handle the complex behavior a ...

The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a powerful model organism for addressing fundamental biological questions related to human disease and aging. Its life cycle consists of an embryo stage, four larval stages that can be clearly distinguis ...

Multi-dimensional imaging and phenotyping of C. elegans embryos via an automated microfluidic device

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

We introduce a microfluidic platform for automated on-chip worm culture, creation of synchronized embryo microarrays, and long-term parallel live imaging of Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. Our device allows studying well-defined embryo populations at unpre ...

The occurrence of chronic or delayed toxicity resulting from the exposure to sublethal chemical concentrations is an increasing concern in environmental risk assessment. The Fish Embryo Toxicity (FET) test with zebrafish provides a reliable prediction of a ...

Human cell reprogramming technologies offer access to live human neurons from patients and provide a new alternative for modeling neurological disorders in vitro. Neural electrical activity is the essence of nervous system function in vivo. Therefore, we e ...

Dysfunction in endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria crosstalk underlies SIGMAR1 loss of function mediated motor neuron degeneration

Roman Chrast, Nathalie Marie Géraldine Bernard

Mutations in SIGMAR1, which encodes the Sigma 1 receptor, cause a familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Bernard-Marissal et al. reveal that disruption of Sigma 1 receptor function disturbs endo ...

Oxford University Press2015

Selective neuronal loss is the hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. In patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), most motor neurons die but those innervating extraocular, pelvic sphincter, and slow limb muscles exhibit selective resistance. We ...

Segmentation is a periodic and sequential morphogenetic process in vertebrates. This rhythmic formation of blocks of tissue called somites along the body axis is evidence of a genetic oscillator patterning the developing embryo. In zebrafish, the intracell ...

SAS-1 Is a C2 Domain Protein Critical for Centriole Integrity in C. elegans

Pierre Gönczy, Graham Knott, Simon Blanchoud, Lukas von Tobel, Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles important for the formation of cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Despite progress in understanding the underlying assembly mechanisms, how centriole integrity is ensured is incompletely understood, including in sp ...

Mechanisms of differential centriole inheritance in C. elegans

Lukas von Tobel

Centrosomes are the principal microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of animal cells and comprise a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). Centriole number must be carefully regulated to ensure bipolar spindle formation and thus fait ...
