Furry is required for cell movements during gastrulation and functionally interacts with NDR1
Gastrulation is a key event in animal embryogenesis during which germ layer precursors are rearranged and the embryonic axes are established. Cell polarization is essential during gastrulation, driving asymmetric cell division, cell movements, and cell ...

The early stages of heart development: insights from chicken embryos [PDF]
The heart is the first functioning organ in the developing embryo and the detailed understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in its formation provides insights into congenital malformations affecting its function and therefore the ...

Hox genes control vertebrate body elongation by collinear Wnt repression
In vertebrates, the total number of vertebrae is precisely defined. Vertebrae derive from embryonic somites that are continuously produced posteriorly from the presomitic mesoderm (PSM) during body formation.

The distribution of Dishevelled in convergently extending mesoderm [PDF]
Convergent extension (CE) is a conserved morphogenetic movement that drives axial lengthening of the primary body axis and depends on the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway.

Gastrulation in C. elegans [PDF]
Gastrulation is the process by which the germ layers become positioned in an embryo. C. elegans gastrulation serves as a model for studying the molecular mechanisms of diverse cellular and developmental phenomena, including morphogenesis, cell polarization, cell-cell signaling, actomyosin contraction and cell-cell adhesion.

Ingression-type cell migration drives vegetal endoderm internalisation in the Xenopus gastrula
During amphibian gastrulation, presumptive endoderm is internalised as part of vegetal rotation, a large-scale movement that encompasses the whole vegetal half of the embryo. It has been considered a gastrulation process unique to amphibians, but we show

Mesoderm migration in Drosophila is a multi-step process requiring FGF signaling and integrin activity [PDF]
Migration is a complex, dynamic process that has largely been studied using qualitative or static approaches. As technology has improved, we can now take quantitative approaches towards understanding cell migration using in vivo imaging and tracking ...

Cells under Tension Drive Gastrulation [PDF]
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Muncie et al. describe the generation of gastrulation-like foci of cells within micropatterned colonies of pluripotent stem cells. This demonstration of mechanosensitive β-catenin/Wnt-dependent specification of cell fate during gastrulation illustrates the insights gleaned by placing stem cells in embryo-like ...

Substrate stiffness affects early differentiation events in embryonic stem cells [PDF]
Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are both a potential source of cells for tissue replacement therapies and an accessible tool to model early embryonic development.
