Expansion of a VE-Cadherin+CD45+ population in the yolk sac upon Etv2 overexpression in the mouse embryo - Effects of BMP and Wnt signaling inhibition on the differentiation of a Flk1+ extraembryonic mesoderm in vitro model

Matteo Pluchinotta

The difficulty to find compatible donors for bone marrow transplantation makes the need for an alternative source of HSCs urgent. HSC derived from patient-specific iPS cells are ideal candidates for this purpose. Nevertheless, although HSCs are the best ch ...

The pancreas plays a central role in metabolism. The exocrine pancreas, composed of ductal and acinar cells, secretes and delivers digestive enzymes into the duodenum where they contribute to food digestion. The endocrine pancreas, constituted by the islet ...

Additive and global functions of HoxA cluster genes in mesoderm derivatives

Denis Duboule, Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch

Hox genes encode transcription factors that play a central role in the specification of regional identities along the anterior to posterior body axis. In the developing mouse embryo, Hox genes from all four genomic clusters are involved in range of develop ...

Segment number and axial identity in a segmentation clock period mutant.

Andrew Charles Oates

A species-specific number of segments is a hallmark of the vertebrate body plan. The first segmental structures in the vertebrate embryo are the somites, which bud sequentially from the growing presomitic mesoderm (PSM). The Clock and Wavefront model for s ...

Intercellular coupling regulates the period of the segmentation clock

Andrew Charles Oates

Background: Coupled biological oscillators can tick with the same period. How this collective period is established is a key question in understanding biological clocks. We explore this question in the segmentation clock, a population of coupled cellular o ...

BCL6 and BCoR gang up on Notch to regulate left-right patterning

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch

In this issue of Developmental Cell, Sakano et al. describe a novel mechanism of how a key lymphocyte transcription factor crosstalks to Notch signaling during embryonic development and thereby selectively inhibits Notch-activated target genes to allow pro ...

Studies on lentiviral-mediated transgenesis

Marc-Olivier Sauvain

Transgenic animals are essential research tools, whether to address basic biological questions or to develop preclinical models of human diseases. Their generation through the injection of naked plasmid DNA into the male pronucleus of a fertilized oocyte h ...

The role of TIF1 gamma during adult murine hematopoiesis

Konstantin Shakhbazov

Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGFβ) signaling plays an important role in a variety of cellular processes during embryonic development, adult tissue homeostasis and cancer. TGFβI ligand is a potent inhibitor of early hematopoietic progenitor [1] cells in ...

Retinoic acid signaling organizes endodermal organ specification along the entire antero-posterior axis

Anne Grapin-Botton

BACKGROUND: Endoderm organ primordia become specified between gastrulation and gut tube folding in Amniotes. Although the requirement for RA signaling for the development of a few individual endoderm organs has been established a systematic assessment of i ...
