Generation of a male common marmoset embryonic stem cell line DSY127-BV8VT1 carrying double reporters specific for the germ cell linage using the CRISPR-Cas9 and PiggyBac transposase systems

Stem Cell Research, 2020
BLIMP1 (PRDM1) and VASA (DDX4) play pivotal roles in the development of the germ cell linage. Importantly, these genes are specifically expressed in germ cells; BLIMP1 in primordial germ cells (PGCs) to early-stage gonocytes, and VASA in migration-stage ...

Assessing Metabolic and Reproductive Consequences of Prenatal Paracetamol Exposure in Female CD1 Mice

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paracetamol is a widely used analgesic during pregnancy; however, emerging evidence suggests it may act as an endocrine/metabolism disrupting compound. Using an F1 female CD1 mouse model, this study scrutinized the long‐term metabolic and reproductive consequences linked to intrauterine paracetamol exposure.

In vitro differentiation of germ cells from stem cells: a comparison between primordial germ cells and in vitro derived primordial germ cell-like cells [PDF]

Cell Death & Disease, 2015
AbstractStem cells are unique cell types capable to proliferate, some of them indefinitely, while maintaining the ability to differentiate into a few or any cell lineages. In 2003, a group headed by Hans R. Schöler reported that oocyte-like cells could be produced from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in vitro. After more than 10 years, where have these

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Navigating the Complexity: A Comprehensive Review of GSK‐3 Inhibition in Regenerative Medicine

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycogen synthase kinase‐3 (GSK‐3) is a central regulator of numerous cellular signaling pathways, with critical roles in metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, and tissue regeneration. This review explores the multifaceted effects of pharmacological GSK‐3 inhibition across multiple body districts, focusing on its highly context‐dependent

Reproductive Challenges of the Ageing Female: A Comprehensive Narrative Review

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in societal norms over the last few decades have resulted in novel family planning trends, notably delayed childbearing and increased maternal age at the birth of the first child. Despite advances in reproductive medicine, ageing poses significant challenges.

Fluid dynamics during bleb formation in migrating cells in vivo.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Blebs are cellular protrusions observed in migrating cells and in cells undergoing spreading, cytokinesis, and apoptosis. Here we investigate the flow of cytoplasm during bleb formation and the concurrent changes in cell volume using zebrafish primordial

Migration of primordial germ cells during late embryogenesis of pikeperch Sander lucioperca relative to blastomere transplantation

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2017
Pikeperch Sander lucioperca is a valuable fish in Europe, and basic information about its embryonic development, especially primordial germ cell (PGC) migration, is important for use in biotechnology.

Germ plasm in Eleutherodactylus coqui, a direct developing frog with large eggs

EvoDevo, 2011
Background RNAs for embryo patterning and for germ cell specification are localized to the vegetal cortex of the oocyte of Xenopus laevis. In oocytes of the direct developing frog Eleutherodactylus coqui, orthologous RNAs for patterning are not localized,
