DUX is a non-essential synchronizer of zygotic genome activation

Didier Trono, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Sonia Verp, Delphine Yvette L Grun, Alberto De Iaco

Some of the earliest transcripts produced in fertilized human and mouse oocytes code for DUX, a double homeodomain protein that promotes embryonic genome activation (EGA). Deleting Dux by genome editing at the 1- to 2-cell stage in the mouse impairs EGA an ...

Bidirectional Transfer Study of Polystyrene Nanoparticles across the Placental Barrier in an ex Vivo Human Placental Perfusion Model

Lionel André Maurizi

BACKGROUND: Nanoparticle exposure in utero might not be a major concern yet, but it could become more important with the increasing application of nanomaterials in consumer and medical products. Several epidemiologic and invitro studies have shown that nan ...

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 ...

Analysis of centriole elimination during C. elegans oogenesis

Pierre Gönczy, Graham Knott, Petr Strnad, Lukas von Tobel, Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali

Centrosomes are the principal microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) of animal cells and comprise a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). Centriole number must be carefully regulated, notably to ensure bipolar spindle formation an ...

Quantitative Morphometrical Characterization of Human Pronuclear Zygotes

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz

BACKGROUND: Identification of embryos with high implantation potential remains a challenge in in vitro fertilization (IVF). Subjective pronuclear (PN) zygote scoring systems have been developed for that purpose. The aim of this work was to provide a softwa ...
