Calcium signalling during neural induction in Xenopus laevis embryos.
In Xenopus, experiments performed with isolated ectoderm suggest that neural determination is a 'by default' mechanism, which occurs when bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are antagonized by extracellular antagonists, BMP being responsible for the determination of epidermis. However, Ca(2+) imaging of intact Xenopus embryos reveals patterns of Ca(2+) transients which are generated via the acti...
متن کاملImaging patterns of calcium transients during neural induction in Xenopus laevis embryos.
Through the injection of f-aequorin (a calcium-sensitive bioluminescent reporter) into the dorsal micromeres of 8-cell stage Xenopus laevis embryos, and the use of a Photon Imaging Microscope, distinct patterns of calcium signalling were visualised during the gastrulation period. We present results to show that localised domains of elevated calcium were observed exclusively in the anterior dors...
متن کاملCellular mechanism underlying neural convergent extension in Xenopus laevis embryos.
Convergent extension, the simultaneous narrowing and lengthening of a tissue, plays a major role in shaping and patterning the neural ectoderm in vertebrate embryos. In this paper, we characterize the cellular mechanism underlying convergent extension of the neural ectoderm in the Xenopus laevis late gastrula and neurula embryo. Neural ectoderm in X. laevis consists of two components, a superfi...

متن کاملHistological features of neural induction in Xenopus laevis.
It was first established by grafting experiments that neural induction occurs in Xenopus laevis and that it is the mesoderm in the dorsal lip of the blastopore which normally exercises this function. The subsequent histological work provided the following information: At stage 10i mesodermal invagination was already well under way, in advance of the formation of the archenteric cavity. This con...
