Probing embryonic stem cell autocrine and paracrine signaling using microfluidics.
Although stem cell fate is traditionally manipulated by exogenously altering the cells' extracellular signaling environment, the endogenous autocrine and paracrine signals produced by the cells also contribute to their two essential processes: self-renewal and differentiation. Autocrine and/or paracrine signals are fundamental to both embryonic stem cell self-renewal and early embryonic develop...

متن کاملIdentification of genes controlling germ cell migration and embryonic gonad formation in Drosophila.
Gonadogenesis in the Drosophila embryo is a complex process involving numerous cellular migratory steps and cell-cell interactions. The mechanisms guiding germ cells to move through, recognize and adhere to specific cell types are poorly understood. In order to identify genes that are required for these processes, we have conducted an extensive mutagenesis of the third chromosome and screened f...
متن کاملControlling the morphology of polyurea microcapsules using microfluidics.
We use microfluidics to continuously produce monodisperse polyurea microcapsules (PUMCs) having either aqueous or nonaqueous cores. The microcapsule shells are formed by the reaction between an isocyanate, dissolved in oil, and an amine, dissolved in water, at the surface of oil-in-water or water-in-oil drops immediately as they are formed. Different microcapsule morphologies can be generated u...
متن کاملCell migration in the rat embryonic neocortex.
Three-dimensional reconstructions of the normal rat embryonic (E) neocortex on days E15, E17, E19, and E21, using Skandha (software designed by J. Prothero, University of Washington, Seattle), show that the neocortical ventricular zone shrinks rapidly in the medial direction during cortical morphogenesis. [3H]thymidine autoradiography indicates that the shrinkage of the ventricular zone occurs ...
