Mechanotransductive cascade of Myo-II-dependent mesoderm and endoderm invaginations in embryo gastrulation

Nature Communications, 2017
Mechanical signals regulate tissue differentiation but how this triggers downstream biochemical signals is unclear. Here, the authors place micro-magnets in theDrosophilaembryonic epithelia and show this triggers apical pulsations, in turn stabilizing ...

The major β-catenin/E-cadherin junctional binding site is a primary molecular mechano-transductor of differentiation in vivo

eLife, 2018
In vivo, the primary molecular mechanotransductive events mechanically initiating cell differentiation remain unknown. Here we find the molecular stretching of the highly conserved Y654-β-catenin-D665-E-cadherin binding site as mechanically induced by ...

Growth and cardiovascular development are repressed by florfenicol exposure in early chicken embryos

Poultry Science, 2020
Florfenicol (FLO) is one of the most popular antibacterial drugs used in veterinary clinics and aquaculture. The drug was found to decrease the hatchability of eggs laid by treated hens in veterinary clinics and research work.

Attainment of reproductive competence, phase transition, and quantification of juvenility in mutant genetic screens [PDF]

, 2014
Plant development between seedling emergence and flowering is characterized by a series of successive qualitative phases: (1) a post embryonic photoperiodinsensitive phase, during which plants are insensitive to photoperiod; (2) a photoperiod ...

The RhoGAP Stard13 controls insulin secretion through F-actin remodeling

Molecular Metabolism, 2018
Objective: Actin cytoskeleton remodeling is necessary for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. A mechanistic understanding of actin dynamics in the islet is paramount to a better comprehension of β-cell dysfunction in diabetes ...

MGST1, a GSH transferase/peroxidase essential for development and hematopoietic stem cell differentiation. [PDF]

, 2018
We show for the first time that, in contrast to other glutathione transferases and peroxidases, deletion of microsomal glutathione transferase 1 (MGST1) in mice is embryonic lethal.

Distribution of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit mRNA in the Developing Mouse. [PDF]

, 2019
Homomeric α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are abundantly expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system (CNS and PNS, respectively), and spinal cord.
