Control of Hoxd gene transcription in the mammary bud by hijacking a preexisting regulatory landscape

Denis Duboule, Guillaume Andrey, Jozsef Zakany, Anamaria Necsulea, Leonardo Beccari, Edgardo Rodriguez Carballo, Virginie Marcet

Vertebrate Hox genes encode transcription factors operating during the development of multiple organs and structures. However, the evolutionary mechanism underlying this remarkable pleiotropy remains to be fully understood. Here, we show that Hoxd8 and Hox ...

From the early steps of whisker formation to its evolutionary disappearance: the (curious) case of Prdm1 and its regulation

Pierluigi Giuseppe Manti

Whiskers (also known as vibrissae) are sensory organs that are thought to have first appeared in Therapsida, a group of synapsids that includes mammals and evolutionary ancestors like the Thrinaxodon(1). They are highly conserved among mammals to the notab ...

Hotair Is Dispensible for Mouse Development

Denis Duboule, Anamaria Necsulea

Despite the crucial importance of Hox genes functions during animal development, the mechanisms that control their transcription in time and space are not yet fully understood. In this context, it was proposed that Hotair, a lncRNA transcribed from within ...

Kinematic and gait similarities between crawling human infants and other quadruped mammals

Auke Ijspeert, Ludovic Righetti

Crawling on hands and knees is an early pattern of human infant locomotion, which offers an interesting way of studying quadrupedalism in one of its simplest form. We investigate how crawling human infants compare to other quadruped mammals, especially pri ...

Decoding bipedal locomotion from the rat sensorimotor cortex

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Rubia van den Brand, Jacopo Rigosa, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler

Objective. Decoding forelimb movements from the firing activity of cortical neurons has been interfaced with robotic and prosthetic systems to replace lost upper limb functions in humans. Despite the potential of this approach to improve locomotion and fac ...

Proteomics and circadian rhythms: It's all about signaling!

Loïc Dayon, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Martin Kussmann, Daniel Alain Dominique Marie Mauvoisin

Proteomic technologies using MS offer new perspectives in circadian biology, in particular the possibility to study PTMs. To date, only very few studies have been carried out to decipher the rhythmicity of protein expression in mammals with large-scale pro ...

Evolutionary dynamics of coding and non-coding transcriptomes

Anamaria Necsulea

Gene expression changes may underlie much of phenotypic evolution. The development of high-throughput RNA sequencing protocols has opened the door to unprecedented large-scale and cross-species transcriptome comparisons by allowing accurate and sensitive a ...

Cell-type specific function of GABAergic neurons in layers 2 and 3 of mouse barrel cortex

Carl Petersen

GABAergic neurons are a minor fraction of the neocortical neuronal population, but they are highly diverse in their features. The GABAergic neurons can be divided into three largely non-overlapping groups, defined through the expression of ionotropic serot ...
