Nitric oxide coordinates cell proliferation and cell movements during early development of Xenopus.
The establishment of a vertebrate body plan during embryogenesis is achieved through precise coordination of cell proliferation and morphogenetic cell movements. Here we show that nitric oxide (NO) suppresses cell division and facilitates cell movements during early development of Xenopus, such that inhibition of NO synthase (NOS) increases proliferation in the neuroectoderm and suppresses conv...
متن کاملA force balance can explain local and global cell movements during early zebrafish development.
Embryonic morphogenesis takes place via a series of dramatic collective cell movements. The mechanisms that coordinate these intricate structural transformations across an entire organism are not well understood. In this study, we used gentle mechanical deformation of developing zebrafish embryos to probe the role of physical forces in generating long-range intercellular coordination during epi...
متن کامل03-P092 Morphogenetic cell movements and rearrangement during the early eye development in zebrafish
In vertebrates, retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) are specified at the end of the gastrulation within the anterior neural plate (ANP) as a single domain called the eye field. From that single domain, positioned medially within the ANP, the RPCs give rise to two optic vesicles, positioned more laterally. How this dramatic morphogenetic remodelling occurs is not well understood. We will show that s...
متن کاملPolarized cortical tension drives zebrafish epiboly movements.
The principles underlying the biomechanics of morphogenesis are largely unknown. Epiboly is an essential embryonic event in which three tissues coordinate to direct the expansion of the blastoderm. How and where forces are generated during epiboly, and how these are globally coupled remains elusive. Here we developed a method, hydrodynamic regression (HR), to infer 3D pressure fields, mechanica...
متن کاملActomyosin-generated tension controls the molecular kinetics of focal adhesions.
Focal adhesions (FAs) have key roles in the interaction of cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and in adhesion-mediated signaling. These dynamic, multi-protein structures sense the ECM both chemically and physically, and respond to external and internal forces by changing their size and signaling activity. However, this mechanosensitivity is still poorly understood at the molecular level....
