Optogenetic axon guidance in embryonic zebrafish.

Journal article STAR protocols · December 2021 Axons form the long-range connections of biological neuronal networks, which are built through the developmental process of axon guidance. Here, we describe a protocol to precisely and non-invasively control axonal growth trajectories in live zebrafish emb ... Full text Cite

Post-operative intracranial gas migration with optic nerve infiltration and atrophy following retinal detachment repair.

Journal article American journal of ophthalmology case reports · December 2020 PurposeTo report a patient with post-operative gas migration into the optic nerve and lateral ventricles after retinal detachment repair.ObservationsA 78-year-old pseudophakic man developed a temporal visual field cut in his non-operative ...

Long-Range Optogenetic Control of Axon Guidance Overcomes Developmental Boundaries and Defects.

Journal article Developmental cell · June 2020 Axons connect neurons together, establishing the wiring architecture of neuronal networks. Axonal connectivity is largely built during embryonic development through highly constrained processes of axon guidance, which have been extensively studied. However ... Full text Cite

Building blocks of the cerebral cortex: from development to the dish.

Journal article Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Developmental biology · September 2015 Since Ramon y Cajal's examination of the cellular makeup of the cerebral cortex, it has been appreciated that this tissue exhibits some of the greatest degrees of cellular heterogeneity in the entire nervous system. This intricate structure emerges during ... Full text Cite

Estrogen defines the dorsal-ventral limit of VEGF regulation to specify the location of the hemogenic endothelial niche.

Journal article Developmental cell · May 2014 Genetic control of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) function is increasingly understood; however, less is known about the interactions specifying the embryonic hematopoietic niche. Here, we report that 17β-estradiol (E2) influences production ... Full text Cite

Prostaglandin E2 regulates liver versus pancreas cell-fate decisions and endodermal outgrowth.

Journal article Developmental cell · February 2014 The liver and pancreas arise from common endodermal progenitors. How these distinct cell fates are specified is poorly understood. Here we describe prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) as a regulator of endodermal fate specification during development. Modulating PGE2 ... Full text Cite

Glucose metabolism impacts the spatiotemporal onset and magnitude of HSC induction in vivo.

Journal article Blood · March 2013 Many pathways regulating blood formation have been elucidated, yet how each coordinates with embryonic biophysiology to modulate the spatiotemporal production of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is currently unresolved. Here, we report that glucose metaboli ... Full text Cite

Rargb regulates organ laterality in a zebrafish model of right atrial isomerism.

Journal article Developmental biology · December 2012 Developmental signals determine organ morphology and position during embryogenesis. To discover novel modifiers of liver development, we performed a chemical genetic screen in zebrafish and identified retinoic acid as a positive regulator of hepatogenesis. ... Full text Cite

Deficiency of the cytoskeletal protein SPECC1L leads to oblique facial clefting.

Journal article American journal of human genetics · July 2011 Genetic mutations responsible for oblique facial clefts (ObFC), a unique class of facial malformations, are largely unknown. We show that loss-of-function mutations in SPECC1L are pathogenic for this human developmental disorder and that SPECC1L is a criti ... Full text Cite
