Mutual exclusion of transcription factors and cell behaviour in the definition of vertebrate embryonic territories

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development
Hervé AcloqueM Angela Nieto

Abstract

Early embryonic territories are transient entities under permanent remodelling to form newly derived cell populations that will eventually give rise to the adult tissues and organs. A vast effort has been devoted to identifying the determinants and mechanisms that define embryonic territories. Indeed, studies in the vertebrate embryo from the morula stage to the segregation of the main embryonic layers-ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm-have highlighted the importance of the mutual exclusion/repression between pairs of transcription factors, in coordination with the control exerted over cell division, adhesion and motility.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

Cell Fate Specification

Cell fate specification is determined by complex signal transduction pathways including Notch and the Sonic hedgehog signaling pathway. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell fate determination.
