Deconstructing body axis morphogenesis in zebrafish embryos using robot-assisted tissue micromanipulation

Andrew Charles Oates, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Ece Özelçi, Erik Mailand, Matthias Rüegg

Classic microsurgical techniques, such as those used in the early 1900s by Mangold and Spemann, have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of embryonic development. However, these techniques are highly specialized, leading to issues of inter-ope ...

Morphomechanical Model Of The Torsional C-Looping In The Embryonic Heart

Alfio Quarteroni

Before septation processes shape its four chambers, the embryonic heart is a straight tube that spontaneously bends and twists breaking the left-right symmetry. In particular, the heart tube is subjected to a cell remodeling inducing ventral bending and de ...

Capturing Cardiogenesis in Gastruloids

Matthias Lütolf, Romain Guiet, Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Giuliana Rossi, Andrea Boni, Mehmet Ugur Girgin

Organoids are powerful models for studying tissue development, physiology, and disease. However, current culture systems disrupt the inductive tissue-tissue interactions needed for the complex morphogenetic processes of native organogenesis. Here, we show ...

Tissue Engineering with Mechanically Induced Solid‐Fluid Transitions

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Ece Özelçi, Jaemin Kim, Erik Mailand, Nikolaos Bouklas, Matthias Rüegg, Jon Märki, Odysseas Konstantinos Chaliotis

Epithelia are contiguous sheets of cells that stabilize the shape of internal organs and support their structure by covering their surfaces. They acquire diverse morphological forms appropriate for their specific functions during embryonic development, suc ...

The emergence and promise of single-cell temporal-omics approaches

Gioele La Manno, Alex Russell Lederer

Single-cell transcriptomics enables the measurement of gene expression in complex biological systems at the resolution of individual cells. Multivariate analysis of single-cell data helps describe the variation in expression accompanying cellular processes ...

Computational Analysis of Turbulent Hemodynamics in Radiocephalic Arteriovenous Fistulas to Determine the Best Anastomotic Angles

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara

Background: Hemodynamics has been known to play a major role in the development of intimal hyperplasia leading to arteriovenous fistula failure. The goal of our study is to investigate the influence of different angles of side-to-end radiocephalic anastomo ...

Feasibility of neurochemically profiling mouse embryonic brain and its development in utero using 1 H MRS at 14.1 T

Hongxia Lei, Sébastien Robert Victor Herzig

We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of neurochemical profiling of embryonic mouse brain developments in utero and to seek potential in vivo evidence of an energy shift in a mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) deficient mouse model. C57BL/6 embryonic m ...

Embryonic lateral inhibition as optical modes: An analytical framework for mesoscopic pattern formation

Andrew Charles Oates, Jose Negrete Jr

Cellular checkerboard patterns are observed at many stages of embryonic development. We study an analytically tractable model for lateral inhibition and show that the steady states are analogous to optical phonons at the Gamma point, which have the wave nu ...

A 1D computer model of the arterial circulation in horses: An important resource for studying global interactions between heart and vessels under normal and pathological conditions

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Patrick Segers

Arterial rupture in horses has been observed during exercise, after phenylephrine administration or during parturition (uterine artery). In human pathophysiological research, the use of computer models for studying arterial hemodynamics and understanding n ...

Robust Baseline Measurement for Reliable Fetal Heart Rate Evaluation

Guglielmo Frigo

Cardiotocography is a measurement technique widely adopted to assess fetal well-being during both antepartum and intra-partum stages. It consists of two simultaneously acquired time-series: fetal heart rate and uterine activity. Since visual inspection ana ...

The mouse genome displays highly dynamic populations of KRAB-zinc finger protein genes and related genetic units

Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Gabriela Ecco, Marco Cassano, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Michaël Imbeault

KRAB-containing poly-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) constitute the largest family of transcription factors encoded by mammalian genomes, and growing evidence indicates that they fulfill functions critical to both embryonic development and maintenance of adul ...

Integration of Shh and Fgf signaling in controlling Hox gene expression in cultured limb cells

Denis Duboule, Guillaume Andrey, Patrick Schorderet, Nayuta Yakushiji

During embryonic development, fields of progenitor cells form complex structures through dynamic interactions with external signaling molecules. How complex signaling inputs are integrated to yield appropriate gene expression responses is poorly understood ...

How to prevent venous cannula orifice obstruction during extracorporeal circulation

Julien Favre

Venous cannula orifice obstruction is an underestimated problem during augmented cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which can potentially be reduced with redesigned, virtually wall-less cannula designs versus traditional percutaneous control venous cannulas. A ...

Possibilities in Germ Cell Research: An Engineering Insight

Omid Mashinchian, Morteza Mahmoudi

Germ cells (GCs) are responsible for fertility and disruptions in their development or function cause infertility. However, current knowledge about the diverse mechanisms involved in GC development and function is still in its infancy. This is mainly becau ...

The chicken chorioallantoic membrane model in biology, medicine and bioengineering

Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

The chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a simple, highly vascularized extraembryonic membrane, which performs multiple functions during embryonic development, including but not restricted to gas exchange. Over the last two decades, interest in the CA ...

The evolution of lncRNA repertoires and expression patterns in tetrapods

Anamaria Necsulea, Magali Soumillon

Only a very small fraction of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are well characterized. The evolutionary history of lncRNAs can provide insights into their functionality, but the absence of lncRNA annotations in non-model organisms has precluded comparative an ...

A Subpopulation of Smooth Muscle Cells, Derived from Melanocyte-Competent Precursors, Prevents Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Friedrich Beermann

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus is a life-threatening condition frequent in premature newborns but also present in some term infants. Current mouse models of this malformation generally lead to perinatal death, not reproducing the full phenotypic spec ...

VE-statin/egfl7 expression in endothelial cells is regulated by a distal enhancer and a proximal promoter under the direct control of Erg and GATA-2

Friedrich Beermann

Angiogenesis is the process by which new blood vessels arise from existing ones by the budding out of endothelial cell capillaries from the luminal side of blood vessels. Blood vessel formation is essential for organ development during embryogenesis and is ...
