Multi-axial self-organization properties of mouse embryonic stem cells into gastruloids

Matthias Lütolf, Denis Duboule, Mehmet Ugur Girgin, Anne-Catherine Cossy

The emergence of multiple axes is an essential element in the establishment of the mammalian body plan. This process takes place shortly after implantation of the embryo within the uterus and relies on the activity of gene regulatory networks that coordina ...

Lab-on-a-chip technologies for manipulation and imaging of C. elegans worms and embryos

Li Dong

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an attractive model organism, owing notably to its short life cycle, genetic tractability, and optical transparency facilitating microscopic observation. This thesis deals with the realization of technological tools f ...

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

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

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 ...

Sexual selection shapes development and maturation rates in Drosophila

Laurent Keller, Brian Dennis Hollis

Explanations for the evolution of delayed maturity usually invoke trade-offs mediated by growth, but processes of reproductive maturation continue long after growth has ceased. Here, we tested whether sexual selection shapes the rate of posteclosion matura ...

The matricellular protein CYR61 interferes with normal pancreatic islets architecture and promotes pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor progression

Jelena Zaric

The significance of matricellular proteins during development and cancer progression is widely recognized. However, how these proteins actively contribute to physiological development and pathological cancer progression is only partially elucidated. In thi ...

Molecular Criteria for Defining the Naive Human Pluripotent State

Didier Trono, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Julien Léonard Duc, Marc Samuel Friedli, Michaël Imbeault, Julien Paul André Pontis, Alexandra Iouranova

Recent studies have aimed to convert cultured human pluripotent cells to a naive state, but it remains unclear to what extent the resulting cells recapitulate in vivo naive pluripotency. Here we propose a set of molecular criteria for evaluating the naive ...

Connectomics across development : towards mapping brain structure from birth to childhood

Elda Fischi Gomez

The brain is probably the most complex system of the human body, composed of numerous neural units interconnected at dierent scales. This highly structured architecture provides the ability to communicate, synthesize information and perform the analytical ...

An automated microfluidic platform for C. elegans embryo arraying, phenotyping, and long-term live imaging

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Johan Auwerx, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Alexis Pierre Henri Marette, Virginija Jovaisaite

Studies of the real-time dynamics of embryonic development require a gentle embryo handling method, the possibility of long-term live imaging during the complete embryogenesis, as well as of parallelization providing a population's statistics, while keepin ...
