This report describes the initiation of somitogenesis in the mouse embryo. Correlations are made with fibronectin distribution around the unsegmented mesoderm and the distribution of cytoskeletal elements within the cells as they undergo morphogenetic movements. The same temporal and topological changes in fibronectin, laminin, and cytoskeletal elements are seen in mouse somitogenesis as in the chick embryo. A notable exception is that the epithelial stage of somitogenesis in the mouse does not form a closed vesicle as it does in the chick. In the mouse the mesial portion of the forming somite does not become epithelial before the migration of sclerotomal cells.

Objective: To assess (ARE) neuroprotective function in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated mice and related genes.
Methods: Examined mRNA-DNA methylation changes induced by ARE in MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease (PD) model's substantia nigra.
Results: ARE mitigated MPTP-induced motor impairment in rotarod and open field tests and preserved tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neuronal cells in substantia nigra and striatum.

The intricate dynamics of Hes expression across diverse cell types in the developing vertebrate embryonic tail have remained elusive. To address this, we have developed an endogenously tagged Hes1-Achilles mouse line, enabling precise quantification of dynamics at the single-cell resolution across various tissues. Our findings reveal striking disparities in Hes1 dynamics between presomitic mesoderm (PSM) and preneural tube (pre-NT) cells.

The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathway is a conserved signaling pathway required for embryonic development. Activated FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) drives multiple intracellular signaling cascade pathways, including ERK/MAPK and PI3K/AKT, collectively termed canonical signaling. However, unlike -null embryos, embryos containing hypomorphic mutations in lacking the ability to activate canonical downstream signals are still able to develop to birth but exhibit severe defects in all mesodermal-derived tissues.

Gastrulation is a critical stage in embryonic development during which the germ layers are established. Advances in sequencing technologies led to the identification of gene regulatory programs that control the emergence of the germ layers and their derivatives. However, proteome-based studies of early mammalian development are scarce.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe patterning of somites is coordinated by presomitic mesoderm cells through synchronised oscillations of Notch signalling, creating sequential waves of gene expression that propagate from the posterior to the anterior end of the tissue. In a new study, Klepstad and Marcon propose a new theoretical framework that recapitulates the dynamics of mouse somitogenesis observed in vivo and in vitro. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author Julie Klepstad and corresponding author Luciano Marcon, Principal Investigator at the Andalusian Center for Developmental Biology.
