Cellular Allometry: The Spindle in Development and Inheritance
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent studies have demonstrated a correlation between cell size and the behaviors of the cytoskeletal division machinery during embryogenesis, giving insight into how a core cellular process is modulated over the course of development.

Biased inheritance of mitochondria during asymmetric cell division in the mouse oocyte.
A fundamental rule of cell division is that daughter cells inherit half the DNA complement and an appropriate proportion of cellular organelles. The highly asymmetric cell divisions of female meiosis present a different challenge because one of the daughters, the polar body, is destined to degenerate, putting at risk essential maternally inherited organelles such as mitochondria. We have theref...
متن کاملتاثیر تک لایه های قطبی و غیر قطبی سلول های پوششی لوله رحم انسان بر تکوین جنین های دو سلولی موش
Background and purpose: Ëmbryo co-culture systems with somatic cells have been a subject of extensive study as valuable tools to promote embryo in vitro development. The aim of this study was to evaluate, the Ëffects of a special kind of co-culture system in which somatic cells were cultured as polarized monolayer on mouse embryo development. Materials and methods : Human oviduct was obtai...
متن کاملMaternal microRNAs are essential for mouse zygotic development.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have important roles in diverse cellular processes, but little is known about their identity and functions during early mammalian development. Here, we show the effects of the loss of maternal inheritance of miRNAs following specific deletion of Dicer from growing oocytes. The mutant mature oocytes were almost entirely depleted of all miRNAs, and they failed to progress throu...
متن کاملOsteopetrosis a report of two Iranian patients with autosomal recessive inheritance pattern
In the rare hereditary bone disorder of osteopetrosis, reduced bone resorption function leads to both the development of densely sclerotic fragile bones and progressive obliteration of the marrow spaces and cranial foramina. Marrow obliteration, typically associated with extramedullary hemopoiesis and hepatosplenomegaly, results in anemia and thrombocytopenia and nerve entrapment accounts for p...
متن کاملP-121: Assessment of Microtubule and Nuclear Status at Different Intervals of Bovine In Vitro Oocyte Maturation
Background: Mammalian oocyte undergoes a series of structural nuclear modulations during maturation in order to obtain full competence to support fertilization and early embryonic development. Microtubules are major cytoskeleton components and have pivotal modulators for chromosomal movement, and it has been shown that partial or immature spindle organization may compromise correct ploidy of th...
