Cultivated meat, also known as cultured or cell-based meat, is meat produced directly from
cultured animal cells rather than from a whole animal. Cultivated meat and seafood have …

Modular body organization is found widely across multicellular organisms, and some of
them form repetitive modular structures via the process of segmentation. It's vastly interesting …

Organ formation is an inherently biophysical process, requiring large-scale tissue
deformations. Yet, understanding how complex organ shape emerges during development …

The development and growth of vertebrate axial muscle have been studied for decades at
both the descriptive and molecular level. The zebrafish has provided an attractive model …

How force generated by the morphogenesis of one tissue impacts the morphogenesis of
other tissues to achieve an elongated embryo axis is not well understood. The notochord …

Background Secondary dystroglycanopathies are muscular dystrophies that result from
mutations in genes that participate in Dystroglycan glycosylation. Glycosylation of …

We recently demonstrated a critical role for two-pore channel type 2 (TPC2)-mediated Ca 2+
release during the differentiation of slow (skeletal) muscle cells (SMC) in intact zebrafish …

Polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in Ataxin-7 (ATXN7) results in spinocerebellar ataxia type
7 (SCA7) and causes visual impairment. SCA7 photoreceptors progressively lose their outer …

Reproducible tissue morphology is a fundamental feature of embryonic development. To
ensure such robustness during tissue morphogenesis, inherent noise in biological …

Somites sequentially form with a regular interval by the segmentation from the anterior
region of the presomitic mesoderm (PSM). The expression of several genes involved in the …
