Reanalysis of mtDNA mutations of human primordial germ cells (PGCs) reveals NUMT contamination and suggests that selection in PGCs may be positive

The resilience of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) to a high mutational pressure depends, in part, on negative purifying selection in the germline. A paradigm in the field has been that such selection, at least in part, takes place in primordial germ cells ...

Neurogenesis redirects β-catenin from adherens junctions to the nucleus to promote axonal growth

Antonio Herrera Camacho

Here, we show that, in the developing spinal cord, after the early Wnt-mediated Tcf transcription activation that confers dorsal identity to neural stem cells, neurogenesis redirects beta-catenin from the adherens junctions to the nucleus to stimulate Tcfo ...

Molecular profiling of stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cell differentiation established for clinical translation

Gioele La Manno, Alex Russell Lederer, Irina Khven

Human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells (hESC-RPE) are a promising cell source to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Despite several ongoing clinical studies, a detailed mapping of transient cellular states during in v ...

Transcription Factor USF1 Is Required for Maintenance of Germline Stem Cells in Male Mice

Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila

A prerequisite for lifelong sperm production is that spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) balance self-renewal and differentiation, yet factors required for this balance remain largely undefined. Using mouse genetics, we now demonstrate that the ubiquitously e ...

Memory and relatedness of transcriptional activity in mammalian cell lineages

Felix Naef, David Michael Suter, Nicholas Edward Phillips, Aleksandra Mandic, Saeed Omidi Klishami

Phenotypically identical mammalian cells often display considerable variability in transcript levels of individual genes. How transcriptional activity propagates in cell lineages, and how this varies across genes is poorly understood. Here we combine live- ...

Distinct mechanisms eliminate mother and daughter centrioles in meiosis of starfish oocytes

Pierre Gönczy

Centriole elimination is an essential process that occurs in female meiosis of metazoa to reset centriole number in the zygote at fertilization. How centrioles are eliminated remains poorly understood. Here we visualize the entire elimination process live ...

Effects of ploidy and sex-locus genotype on gene expression patterns in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta

Chitsanu Khurewathanakul, Oksana Riba Grognuz, Laurent Keller

Males in many animal species differ greatly from females in morphology, physiology and behaviour. Ants, bees and wasps have a haplodiploid mechanism of sex determination whereby unfertilized eggs become males while fertilized eggs become females. However, ...

Global human tissue profiling and protein network analysis reveals distinct levels of transcriptional germline-specificity and identifies target genes for male infertility

Alexandre Gattiker

Mammalian spermatogenesis is a process that involves a complex expression program in both somatic and germ cells present in the male gonad. A number of studies have attempted to define the transcriptome of male meiosis and gametogenesis in rodents and prim ...

Malaria parasites form filamentous cell-to-cell connections during reproduction in the mosquito midgut

Physical contact is important for the interaction between animal cells, but it can represent a major challenge for protists like malaria parasites. Recently, novel filamentous cell-cell contacts have been identified in different types of eukaryotic cells a ...

The role of Schizosaccharomyces pombe dma1 in spore formation during meiosis

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp, Elena Cano

Meiosis is a specialised form of the cell cycle that gives rise to haploid gametes. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the products of meiosis are four spores, which are formed by encapsulation of the four meiosis II nuclei within the cytoplasm of the zygote pr ...
