Background: Nuclear factor I family members nuclear A and B play important roles during cerebral cortical development. regulate similar biological processes, as their expression patterns, regulation of target genes individual knockout phenotypes overlap. We hypothesised that the combined allelic loss Nfia Nfib would culminate in more severe defects cortex than a single member. Methods: immunofluorescence, co-immunoprecipitation, gene analysis immunohistochemistry on mouse models to...
Corpus callosum dysgenesis (CCD) is a congenital disorder that incorporates either partial or complete absence of the largest cerebral commissure. Remodelling interhemispheric fissure (IHF) provides substrate for callosal axons to cross between hemispheres, and its failure main cause CCD. However, it unclear whether defects in this process could give rise heterogeneity expressivity phenotypes seen human cases We identify incomplete IHF remodelling as key structural correlate range...
Embryonic genome activation (EGA) marks the transition from dependence on maternal transcripts to an embryonic transcriptional program. The precise temporal regulation of gene expression, specifically silencing Dux/murine endogenous retrovirus type L (MERVL) program during late 2-cell interphase, is crucial for developmental progression in mouse embryos. How this finely tuned achieved within specific window poorly understood. Here, using particle-tracking microrheology throughout...

The forebrain hemispheres are predominantly separated during embryogenesis by the interhemispheric fissure (IHF). Radial astroglia remodel IHF to form a continuous substrate between for midline crossing of corpus callosum (CC) and hippocampal commissure (HC). Deleted in colorectal carcinoma (DCC) netrin 1 (NTN1) molecules that have an evolutionarily conserved function commissural axon guidance. CC HC absent Dcc Ntn1 knockout mice, while other commissures only partially affected, suggesting...
Abstract Puberty is a whole‐body event, driven by the hypothalamic integration of peripheral signals such as leptin or IGF‐1. In process puberty, reproductive development simultaneous to growth, including muscle growth. To enhance our understanding function related we performed transcriptome analyses samples from six pre‐ and post‐pubertal Brahman heifers ( Bos indicus ). Our aims were perform differential expression co‐expression derive regulatory gene network associate with puberty. As...
Females are endowed at birth with a fixed reserve of oocytes, which declines both in quantity and quality advancing age. Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating oocyte is crucial for improving chances pregnancy success fertility clinics. In vitro culture systems enable researchers to analyse important genetic regulators maturation fertilisation. Here, we describe detail highly reproducible technique isolation fully grown mouse oocytes. We include considerations precautionary...
