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

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.

Complex interactions between cis-regulatory modules in native conformation are critical for Drosophila snail expression [PDF]
, 2011 It has been shown in several organisms that multiple cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) of a gene locus can be active concurrently to support similar spatiotemporal expression.

A Developmental Requirement for HIRA-Dependent H3.3 Deposition Revealed at Gastrulation in Xenopus
Cell Reports, 2012 Discovering how histone variants that mark distinct chromatin regions affect a developmental program is a major challenge in the epigenetics field. To assess the importance of the H3.3 histone variant and its dedicated histone chaperone HIRA, we used an ...

Folded gastrulation and T48 drive the evolution of coordinated mesoderm internalization in flies
eLife, 2016 Gastrulation constitutes a fundamental yet diverse morphogenetic process of metazoan development. Modes of gastrulation range from stochastic translocation of individual cells to coordinated infolding of an epithelial sheet.

Measurement of junctional tension in epithelial cells at the onset of primitive streak formation in the chick embryo via non-destructive optical manipulation [PDF]
, 2020 Directional cell intercalations of epithelial cells during gastrulation has in several organisms been shown to be associated with a planar cell polarity in the organisation of the actin-myosin cytoskeleton and is postulated to reflect directional tension

Adhesive Crosstalk in Gastrulation [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2003 Recent studies show that signaling through integrin receptors is required for normal cell movements during Xenopus gastrulation. Integrins function in this process by modulating the activity of cadherin adhesion molecules within tissues undergoing convergence and extension movements.

Retinoic Acid is Required for Normal Morphogenetic Movements During Gastrulation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Retinoic acid (RA) is a central regulatory signal that controls numerous developmental processes in vertebrate embryos. Although activation of Hox expression is considered one of the earliest functions of RA signaling in the embryo, there is evidence ...
