Modeling mammalian gastrulation with embryonic stem cells [PDF]
arXiv, 2017Understanding cell fate patterning and morphogenesis in the mammalian embryo remains a formidable challenge. Recently, in vivo models based on embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have emerged as complementary methods to quantitatively dissect the physical and molecular processes that shape the embryo.

Erythroid development in the mammalian embryo [PDF]
Blood Cells, Molecules, and Diseases, 2013Erythropoiesis is the process by which progenitors for red blood cells are produced and terminally differentiate. In all vertebrates, two morphologically distinct erythroid lineages (primitive, embryonic, and definitive, fetal/adult) form successively within the yolk sac, fetal liver, and marrow and are essential for normal development. Red blood cells

Principles of Self-Organization of the Mammalian Embryo
Cell, 2020Early embryogenesis is a conserved and self-organized process. In the mammalian embryo, the potential for self-organization is manifested in its extraordinary developmental plasticity, allowing a correctly patterned embryo to arise despite experimental perturbation.

Insights into epigenetic patterns in mammalian early embryos
Protein & Cell, 2020Mammalian fertilization begins with the fusion of two specialized gametes, followed by major epigenetic remodeling leading to the formation of a totipotent embryo. During the development of the pre-implantation embryo, precise reprogramming progress is a

Instructions for Assembling the Early Mammalian Embryo [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2018The preimplantation mouse embryo is a simple self-contained system, making it an excellent model to discover how mammalian cells function in real time and in vivo. Work over the last decade has revealed some key morphogenetic mechanisms that drive early development, yielding rudimentary instructions for the generation of a mammalian embryo.

The signal that stimulates mammalian embryo development [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyEmbryo development is stimulated by calcium (Ca2+) signals that are generated in the egg cytoplasm by the fertilizing sperm. Eggs are formed via oogenesis.

Symmetry Breaking in the Mammalian Embryo
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018We present an overview of symmetry breaking in early mammalian development as a continuous process from compaction to specification of the body axes. While earlier studies have focused on individual symmetry-breaking events, recent advances enable us to explore progressive symmetry breaking during early mammalian development.

Tracing the origin of heterogeneity and symmetry breaking in the early mammalian embryo
Nature Communications, 2018What breaks symmetry in early mammalian embryonic development has been much questioned. Here, Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz and colleagues propose that compartmentalized intracellular reactions generate micro-scale inhomogeneity, which is amplified in the ...

Controlled Dynamic Microfluidic Culture of Murine, Bovine, and Human Embryos Improves Development: Proof-of-Concept Studies [PDF]
CellsClassical preimplantation embryo culture is performed in static fluid environments. Whether a dynamic fluid environment, like the fallopian tube, is beneficial for embryo development remains to be determined across mammalian species.
