Imaging in Spinal DysraphismA Pictoral Assay [PDF]

International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2021
Spinal dysraphism includes the congenital malformations of the spine and spinal cord. Spinal cord development takes place through successive stages of gastrulation, primary neurulation, and secondary neurulation. Defect in any of these three phases can

Quo vadis PGRMC? Grand-Scale Biology in Human Health and Disease

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2022
The title usage of Latin Quo vadis ‘where are you going’ extends the question Unde venisti from where ‘did you come?’ posed in the accompanying paper and extends consideration of how ancient eukaryotic and eumetazoan functions of progesterone receptor ...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions: the importance of changing cell state in development and disease [PDF]

, 2009
The events that convert adherent epithelial cells into individual migratory cells that can invade the extracellular matrix are known collectively as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

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 ...

Some Questions and Answers About the Role of Hox Temporal Collinearity in Vertebrate Axial Patterning

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019
The vertebrate anterior-posterior (A-P = craniocaudal) axis is evidently made by a timing mechanism. Evidence has accumulated that tentatively identifies the A-P timer as being or involving Hox temporal collinearity (TC). Here, I focus on the two current

Current perspectives of the signaling pathways directing neural crest induction. [PDF]

, 2012
The neural crest is a migratory population of embryonic cells with a tremendous potential to differentiate and contribute to nearly every organ system in the adult body.

Loss of Apela Peptide in Mice Causes Low Penetrance Embryonic Lethality and Defects in Early Mesodermal Derivatives

Cell Reports, 2017
Apela (also known as Elabela, Ende, and Toddler) is a small signaling peptide that activates the G-protein-coupled receptor Aplnr to stimulate cell migration during zebrafish gastrulation.

Utilizing Playdoh in the Classroom to Construct a 3D Model Depicting Cellular Movements and Tissue Remodeling during Human Gastrulation, Early Organogenesis, and Embryonic Folding

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2021
In classroom studies of mammalian embryology, students must fully grasp the cellular and tissue remodeling needed to initiate gastrulation to ensure comprehension of forthcoming developmental processes such as tissue specification and organogenesis ...

Candidate Heterotaxy Gene FGFR4 Is Essential for Patterning of the Left-Right Organizer in Xenopus

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, yet its genetic causes continue to be obscure. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) recently emerged in a large patient exome sequencing study as a candidate disease gene for CHD and ...

Gene expression analysis of bovine embryonic disc, trophoblast and parietal hypoblast at the start of gastrulation [PDF]

, 2017
In cattle early gastrulation-stage embryos (Stage 5), four tissues can be discerned: (i) the top layer of the embryonic disc consisting of embryonic ectoderm (EmE); (ii) the bottom layer of the disc consisting of mesoderm, endoderm and visceral hypoblast
