Morphological phenotyping of the mouse embryo is described at neurulation stages, primarily as a guide to evaluating the outcome of whole embryo cultures between embryonic days 8.5 and 9.5. During ...

Spinal neural tube folding shows a transition from medial to dorsolateral neural plate bending sites (hinge points) along the embryo’s body axis. While hinge points are considered an important driving ...

The central nervous system (CNS) is the first adult organ system to appear during vertebrate development, and the process of its emergence is commonly called neurulation. Such biological “urgency” is ...

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are severe congenital malformations affecting 1 in every 1000 pregnancies. 'Open' NTDs result from failure of primary neurulation as seen in anencephaly, myelomeningocele ...

As the embryonic ectoderm is induced to form the neural plate, cells inside this epithelium acquire restricted identities that will dictate their behavior and progressive differentiation. The first ...

In vertebrate embryos, the process of neurulation, which transforms a flat neural plate into a three-dimensionally patterned tube, relies on a sequence of morphogenetic events that are tightly ...

Cette équipe de biologistes de l’École polytechnique fédérale (ETH) de Zurich (Bâle) a décrypté l’ensemble du processus de formation du tube neural chez l’embryon et le fœtus, de la colonne vertébrale ...
