Morphogenesis

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Quantified growth of the human embryonic heart
    Jaeike W. Faber, Jaco Hagoort, Antoon F. M. Moorman, Vincent M. Christoffels, Bjarke Jensen
    Biology Open 2021 10: bio057059 doi: 10.1242/bio.057059 Published 10 February 2021

    Summary: This paper provides quantitative data on the growth of 58 structures of the human embryonic heart between weeks 4 and 8 of development.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A modifier screen identifies regulators of cytoskeletal architecture as mediators of Shroom-dependent changes in tissue morphology
    Jeffrey D. Hildebrand, Adam D. Leventry, Omoregie P. Aideyman, John C. Majewski, James A. Haddad, Dawn C. Bisi, Nancy Kaufmann
    Biology Open 2021 10: bio055640 doi: 10.1242/bio.055640 Published 3 February 2021

    Summary: Using Drosophila as a model system, we identify F-actin and microtubules as important determinants of how cells and tissues respond to Shroom induced contractility.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    RhoGAP RGA-8 supports morphogenesis in C. elegans by polarizing epithelia
    Hamidah Raduwan, Shashikala Sasidharan, Luigy Cordova Burgos, Andre G. Wallace, Martha C. Soto
    Biology Open 2020 9: bio056911 doi: 10.1242/bio.056911 Published 26 November 2020

    Summary: RGA-8, a protein with membrane binding and actin regulatory motifs, promotes embryonic morphogenesis by localizing active CDC-42 in developing epithelia, and controlling actin and actin motors during cell movements.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Specificity, redundancy and dosage thresholds among gata4/5/6 genes during zebrafish cardiogenesis
    Jessica Sam, Emily J. Mercer, Ingrid Torregroza, Kelly M. Banks, Todd Evans
    Biology Open 2020 9: bio053611 doi: 10.1242/bio.053611 Published 24 June 2020

    Summary: Targeted mutations were generated for each of the three gata4/5/6 genes in zebrafish to define functions for individual or combinations of these related transcription factors during cardiogenesis.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Numb regulates cell tension required for mammary duct elongation
    Sudipa June Chatterjee, Ruba Halaoui, Rebecca Catherine Deagle, Carlis Rejon, Luke McCaffrey
    Biology Open 2019 8: bio042341 doi: 10.1242/bio.042341 Published 30 May 2019

    Summary: Numb regulates cortical cell tension, which is necessary to maintain proper cell shape and packing density during mammary duct elongation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Basal constriction during midbrain–hindbrain boundary morphogenesis is mediated by Wnt5b and focal adhesion kinase
    Jennifer H. Gutzman, Ellie Graeden, Isabel Brachmann, Sayumi Yamazoe, James K. Chen, Hazel Sive
    Biology Open 2018 7: bio034520 doi: 10.1242/bio.034520 Published 13 November 2018

    Summary: Focal adhesion kinase acts downstream of Wnt5b to mediate basal constriction of neuroepithelial cells during the formation of the midbrain–hindbrain boundary.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Anomalies in the valve morphogenesis of the centric diatom alga Aulacoseira islandica caused by microtubule inhibitors
    Yekaterina Bedoshvili, Ksenia Gneusheva, Maria Popova, Alexey Morozov, Yelena Likhoshway
    Biology Open 2018 7: bio035519 doi: 10.1242/bio.035519 Published 22 August 2018

    Summary: It is shown that colchicine blocks mitosis and induces the formation of specific structures, lateral valves, in the diatom Aulacoseira islandica. Paclitaxel, on the other hand, doesn't have any effect on cell division.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Apical and basal epitheliomuscular F-actin dynamics during Hydra bud evagination
    Roland Aufschnaiter, Roland Wedlich-Söldner, Xiaoming Zhang, Bert Hobmayer
    Biology Open 2017 6: 1137-1148; doi: 10.1242/bio.022723

    Summary: Transgenic Lifeact-GFP Hydra polyps provide a powerful system for live imaging of actin dynamics during morphogenesis and development of a simple and ancestral animal model.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Senescence gives insights into the morphogenetic evolution of anamniotes
    Éric Villiard, Jean-François Denis, Faranak Sadat Hashemi, Sebastian Igelmann, Gerardo Ferbeyre, Stéphane Roy
    Biology Open 2017 6: 891-896; doi: 10.1242/bio.025809

    Summary: We report the presence of senescent cells in several transient structures in developing amphibian and teleost fish, suggesting novel mechanisms of morphogenesis that appeared early in vertebrate evolution.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Directional cell movements downstream of Gbx2 and Otx2 control the assembly of sensory placodes
    Ben Steventon, Roberto Mayor, Andrea Streit
    Biology Open 2016 5: 1620-1624; doi: 10.1242/bio.020966

    Summary: Using spatial and temporally controlled perturbations followed by live cell tracking in vivo, this paper demonstrates that directional movements downstream of Gbx2 and Otx2 are important for otic and lens placode formation.
