Illuminating developmental biology with cellular optogenetics [PDF]
In developmental biology, localization is everything. The same stimulus-cell signaling event or expression of a gene-can have dramatically different effects depending on the time, spatial position, and cell types in which it is applied. Yet the field has long lacked the ability to deliver localized perturbations with high specificity in vivo.

Cellular and Developmental Biology of TRPM7 Channel-Kinase: Implicated Roles in Cancer. [PDF]
The transient receptor potential melastatin-subfamily member 7 (TRPM7) is a ubiquitously expressed cation-permeable ion channel with intrinsic kinase activity that plays important roles in various physiological functions. Biochemical and electrophysiological studies, in combination with molecular analyses of TRPM7, have generated insights into its ...

Recent Advances in the Cellular and Developmental Biology of Phospholipases in Plants. [PDF]
Phospholipases (PLs) are lipid-hydrolyzing enzymes known to have diverse signaling roles during plant abiotic and biotic stress responses. They catalyze lipid remodeling, which is required to generate rapid responses of plants to environmental cues. Moreover, they produce second messenger molecules, such as phosphatidic acid (PA) and thus trigger or ...

Protein interference applications in cellular and developmental biology using DARPins that recognize GFP and mCherry. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Protein–protein interactions are crucial for cellular homeostasis and play important roles in the dynamic execution of biological processes. While antibodies represent a well-established tool to study protein interactions of extracellular domains and secreted proteins, as well as in fixed and permeabilized cells, they usually ...

The cellular and developmental biology of medulloblastoma: Current perspectives on experimental therapeutics [PDF]
Dysregulation of various signaling pathways that govern cerebellar development with respect to cell proliferation, growth arrest, apoptosis and differentiation has been postulated to contribute to medulloblastoma tumourigenesis. This review will highlight the unique nature of cerebellar development in terms of its derivation from two germinal matrices ...

Partial differential equations for self-organization in cellular and developmental biology [PDF]
Understanding the mechanisms governing and regulating the emergence of structure and heterogeneity within cellular systems, such as the developing embryo, represents a multiscale challenge typifying current integrative biology research, namely, explaining the macroscale behaviour of a system from microscale dynamics.

Rudolf Weber (1922–2015): a driving force in the transition of developmental biology into a molecular and cellular science [PDF]
Prof. Dr. Rudolf Heinrich Weber passed away on December 23, 2015, at the high age of 93 years. Succeeding Fritz Baltzer and Fritz Erich Lehmann, he became the third in a line of outstanding developmental biologists at the University of Bern, Switzerland.

Learning-activated engram neurons play a critical role in memory recall but the role of these neurons in offline memory consolidation is unclear. The authors show that sleep-associated reactivation of learning-activated sensory neurons is necessary for ...

GCAF(TMEM251) regulates lysosome biogenesis by activating the mannose-6-phosphate pathway
Lysosomal biogenesis errors often result in diseases including mucolipidosis. Here Zhang and Yang et al. identify TMEM251/GCAF as a mannose-6-phosphate modification regulator that is necessary for correct lysosomal targeting, and classify Mucolipidosis ...

Whole body regeneration and developmental competition in two botryllid ascidians
Background Botryllid ascidians are a group of marine invertebrate chordates that are colonial and grow by repeated rounds of asexual reproduction to form a colony of individual bodies, called zooids, linked by a common vascular network.
