The cessation of gastrulation [PDF]

open access: yesCell Adhesion & Migration, 2010
An integral component of gastrulation in all organisms is epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a fundamental morphogenetic event through which epithelial cells transform into mesenchymal cells. The mesenchymal cells that arise from epithelial cells during gastrulation contribute to various tissue rudiments during subsequent development ...

Mechanical tension promotes formation of gastrulation-like nodes and patterns mesoderm specification in human embryonic stem cells

open access: yesDevelopmental Cell, 2020
Summary Embryogenesis is directed by morphogens that induce differentiation within a defined tissue geometry. Tissue organization is mediated by cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesions and is modulated by cell tension and tissue-level ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

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

open access: yesCell 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Mouse gastrulation: coordination of tissue patterning, specification and diversification of cell fate

open access: yesMechanisms of Development, 2020
During mouse embryonic development a mass of pluripotent epiblast tissue is transformed during gastrulation to generate the three definitive germ layers: endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm.

Reconstruction of distinct vertebrate gastrulation modes via modulation of key cell behaviors in the chick embryo

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
The morphology of gastrulation driving the internalisation of the mesoderm and endoderm differs dramatically among vertebrate species. It ranges from involution of epithelial sheets of cells through a circular blastopore in amphibians to ingression of ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Gastrulation: PARtaking of the Bottle [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2003
Gastrulation in C. elegans embryos involves ingression of individual cells, but is driven by apical constriction of the kind that promotes migration of epithelial cell sheets. Recent work shows that PAR proteins, known for their role in polarization and unequal cell division, are also associated with the polarization that establishes this apical ...

Notch-dependent and -independent transcription are modulated by tissue movements at gastrulation

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Cells sense and integrate external information from diverse sources that include mechanical cues. Shaping of tissues during development may thus require coordination between mechanical forces from morphogenesis and cell-cell signalling to confer ...
