What are you synching about? Emerging complexity of Notch signaling in the segmentation clock

Andrew Charles Oates, Olivier François Venzin

The Segmentation clock is a population of cellular genetic oscillators, located in the posterior of the elongating vertebrate embryo, that governs the rhythmic and sequential segmentation of the body axis into somites. Somites are blocks of cells that give ...

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 ...

The mouse genome displays highly dynamic populations of KRAB-zinc finger protein genes and related genetic units

Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Gabriela Ecco, Marco Cassano, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Michaël Imbeault

KRAB-containing poly-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) constitute the largest family of transcription factors encoded by mammalian genomes, and growing evidence indicates that they fulfill functions critical to both embryonic development and maintenance of adul ...

Integration of Shh and Fgf signaling in controlling Hox gene expression in cultured limb cells

Denis Duboule, Guillaume Andrey, Patrick Schorderet, Nayuta Yakushiji

During embryonic development, fields of progenitor cells form complex structures through dynamic interactions with external signaling molecules. How complex signaling inputs are integrated to yield appropriate gene expression responses is poorly understood ...

Faster embryonic segmentation through elevated Delta-Notch signalling

Andrew Charles Oates

An important step in understanding biological rhythms is the control of period. A multicellular, rhythmic patterning system termed the segmentation clock is thought to govern the sequential production of the vertebrate embryo's body segments, the somites. ...

Essential role of the TFIID subunit TAF4 in murine embryogenesis and embryonic stem cell differentiation

Daniel Alpern

TAF4 (TATA-binding protein-associated factor 4) and its paralogue TAF4b are components of the TFIID core module. We inactivated the murine Taf4a gene to address Taf4 function during embryogenesis. Here we show that Taf4a(-/-) embryos survive until E9.5 whe ...

Tetrapod axial evolution and developmental constraints; Empirical underpinning by a mouse model

Denis Duboule

The tetrapod vertebral column has become increasingly complex during evolution as an adaptation to a terrestrial life. At the same time, the evolution of the vertebral formula became subject to developmental constraints acting on the size of the cervical a ...

Regulatory Switches Underlie Hoxd Gene Activation in Tetrapod Limbs

Guillaume Andrey

Accurate spatio-temporal control of Hox cluster genes expression is critical for the proper organization of body structures during vertebrate embryogenesis. In the limbs, Hoxd genes are critical in setting up the proximodistal and anteroposterior axes. Sev ...

A Subpopulation of Smooth Muscle Cells, Derived from Melanocyte-Competent Precursors, Prevents Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Friedrich Beermann

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus is a life-threatening condition frequent in premature newborns but also present in some term infants. Current mouse models of this malformation generally lead to perinatal death, not reproducing the full phenotypic spec ...

Dual Lineage-Specific Expression of Sox17 During Mouse Embryogenesis

Anne Grapin-Botton, Marine Marie Kraus, Laurence Anne E Lemaire

Sox17 is essential for both endoderm development and fetal hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance. While endoderm-derived organs are well known to originate from Sox17-expressing cells, it is less certain whether fetal HSCs also originate from Sox17-exp ...
