...Tingxu Chen; Heather Alcorn; Sujan Devbhandari; Dirk Remus; Elizabeth Lacy; Danwei Huangfu; Kathryn V. Anderson ABSTRACT Formation of a properly sized and patterned embryo during gastrulation requires a well-coordinated interplay between cell proliferation, lineage specification and tissue...

... and neural crest tissues. Inhibition resulted in strong axis defects caused by a requirement of rab7 for mesodermal patterning and correct gastrulation movements. To test a potential involvement in growth factor signaling, we analyzed early Wnt-dependent processes in the mesoderm. Our results suggest...

... be relevant to mouse germ layer specification. Our data underline the potential significance of AP usage in mouse gastrulation, providing a rich data source and opening another dimension for understanding the regulatory mechanisms of mammalian early development. * Authors for correspondence ( lil...

... endoderm (AVE), a migratory population within the early post-implantation embryo. It also labels cells of the definitive endoderm (DE), which emerges at gastrulation. Dual-color visualization of these different early endodermal populations will provide a detailed understanding of the cellular behaviors...

... spectrum disorder (FASD) occurs when pregnant mothers consume alcohol, causing embryonic ethanol exposure and characteristic birth defects that include craniofacial, neural and cardiac defects. Gastrulation is a particularly sensitive developmental stage for teratogen exposure, and zebrafish...

...Robert Bensch; Sungmin Song; Olaf Ronneberger; Wolfgang Driever Summary Epiboly is the first coordinated cell movement in most vertebrates and marks the onset of gastrulation. During zebrafish epiboly, enveloping layer (EVL) and deep cells spread over the vegetal yolk mass with a concomitant...
