Engineering the Link: From Genome Interaction Maps to Functional Insight
Advances in chromosome conformation capture have revealed the genome's 3D organization, yet its causal impact on gene regulation remains elusive. This review highlights emerging genome‐engineering tools ‐ zinc fingers, TALEs, and CRISPR‐Cas9 ‐ that enable targeted manipulation of chromatin loops to dissect structure–function relationships. It discusses

X-chromosome inactivation mosaicism in the three germ layers and the germ line of the mouse embryo [PDF]
Electrophoretic variant forms of the X-linked enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK-1, E.C.2, 7, 2, 3) have been used to examine X-chromosome mosaicism in tissues from 121/2-day post coitum heterozygous female mouse embryos.

TRIP13PCH-2 promotes Mad2 localization to unattached kinetochores in the spindle checkpoint response. [PDF]
The spindle checkpoint acts during cell division to prevent aneuploidy, a hallmark of cancer. During checkpoint activation, Mad1 recruits Mad2 to kinetochores to generate a signal that delays anaphase onset.

A modular biosynthetic PVA–gelatin hydrogel crosslinked via visible‐light thiol‐ene chemistry is engineered as a coating for neural electrodes. Optimizing matrix composition and mechanical properties enables the hydrogel to support astrocytic populations that guide neural differentiation and functional maturation.

Isolation of pigment cell specific genes in the sea urchin embryo by differential macroarray screening [PDF]
New secondary mesenchyme specific genes, expressed exclusively in pigment cells, were isolated from sea urchin embryos using a differential screening of a macroarray cDNA library. The comparison was performed between mRNA populations of embryos having an

The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...

Building Principles for Constructing a Mammalian Blastocyst Embryo
The self-organisation of a fertilised egg to form a blastocyst structure, which consists of three distinct cell lineages (trophoblast, epiblast and hypoblast) arranged around an off-centre cavity, is unique to mammals.

This study introduces an innovative approach to treating intervertebral disc degeneration using ultrasound‐triggered in situ hydrogel formation. Proof‐of‐concept experiments using optimized biomaterial and ultrasound parameters demonstrate partial restoration of biomechanical function and successful integration into degenerated disc tissue, offering a ...

Redundancy and compensation in axon guidance: genetic analysis of the Drosophila Ptp10D/Ptp4E receptor tyrosine phosphatase subfamily [PDF]
Background: Drosophila has six receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs), five of which are expressed primarily in neurons. Mutations in all five affect axon guidance, either alone or in combination.

A Tale of Division and Polarization in the Mammalian Embryo [PDF]
The first cell fate choice in mouse development is the segregation of the embryonic inner cell mass and the extra-embryonic trophectoderm. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Korotkevic and colleagues (2017) show that the interplay between cell polarization and cell-cell contact drives the segregation of these lineages, providing a framework for self ...
