Human and mouse oocytes' developmental potential can be predicted by their mechanical properties. Their development into blastocysts requires a specific stiffness window. In this study, we combine live-cell computational imaging, laser ablation, biophysical measurements to investigate how deregulation of cortex tension in the oocyte contributes early failure. We focus on extra-soft cells, most common defect natural population. Using two independent tools artificially decrease cortical...
The mitotic spindle is an ensemble of microtubules responsible for the repartition chromosomal content between two daughter cells during division. In metazoans, assembly a gradual process involving dynamic and recruitment numerous associated proteins motors. During mitosis, centrosomes organize nucleate majority microtubules. contrast, oocytes lack canonical but are still able to form bipolar spindles, starting from initial ball that self-organizes in several hours. Interfering with early...
Understanding the interplay between cell fate specification and morphogenetic changes remains a central challenge in developmental biology. Gastruloids, self-organizing stem cell-based models of post-implantation mammalian development, provide powerful platform to address this question. Here, we show that physical parameters, particularly system size, critically influence timing outcomes processes. Larger gastruloids exhibit delayed symmetry breaking, increased multipolarity, prolonged axial...
