Embryonic development evolves by balancing stringent morphological constraints with
genetic and environmental variation. The design principle that allows developmental …

Following fertilization, vertebrate embryos delay large-scale activation of the zygotic genome
from several hours in fish and amphibians to several days in mammals. Externally …

Over the past centuries the pendulum has constantly swung between an emphasis on the
role of either nature or nurture in shaping human destiny, a pendulum often energised by …

Environmental stresses are increasingly acknowledged as core causes of abnormal neural
induction leading to neural tube defects (NTDs). However, the mechanism responsible for …

Coordination of cell division and cell fate is crucial for the successful development of
mammalian early embryos. Aurora kinases are evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine …

Peripheral neurons regenerate their axons after injury. Transcriptional regulation by micro
RNA s (mi RNA s) is one possible mechanism controlling regeneration. We profiled mi RNA …

In in vitro-produced (IVP) bovine embryos, a burst in transcriptional activation of the
embryonic genome (EGA) occurs at the 8–16-cell stage. To examine transcriptional …

After fertilization, the genome of zygotes is transcriptionally silent. The timing of the initiation
of transcription is species-specific and occurs at the mid-1-cell stage in mice. Recent …
