Nematode Gastrulation: Having a BLASTocoel!
During gastrulation of the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans, individual cells ingress into a solid ball of cells. Gastrulation in a basal nematode, in contrast, has now been found to occur by invagination into a blastocoel, revealing an unanticipated embryological affinity between nematodes and all other triploblastic metazoans.
متن کاملA main achievement of gastrulation
Gastrulation is the morphogenetic process by which, in metazoans, the germ layers are established in their characteristic spatial arrangement: ectoderm on the outside, endoderm inside, and mesoderm, if present, in between these two layers. Most often, the main activity of gastrulation involves the movement of the endoderm and mesoderm from the surface of the embryo to the interior, and a variet...
متن کاملVertebrate gastrulation.
Our understanding of the mechanisms that control gastrulation is still in its infancy. One problem is that gastrulation is a complex set of coordinated behaviours involving directional cell movements, several types of cell interactions, changes in cell fate and gene expression. Therefore, the successful analysis of its control mechanisms requires simultaneous analysis of more than one of these,...
متن کاملThe Spemann organizer meets the anterior-most neuroectoderm at the equator of early gastrulae in amphibian species
The dorsal blastopore lip (known as the Spemann organizer) is important for making the body plan in amphibian gastrulation. The organizer is believed to involute inward and migrate animally to make physical contact with the prospective head neuroectoderm at the blastocoel roof of mid- to late-gastrula. However, we found that this physical contact was already established at the equatorial region...
متن کاملThe relationship between cleavage and blastocoel formation in Xenopus laevis
The development of the blastocoel in Xenopus laevis was studied by electron microscopy. Two major morphological specializations were associated both with blastocoel formation and with cleavage. The first specialization was the formation of close junctions at specific points along cleavage furrows, starting as early as the first division. The second was the secretion of material into the blastoc...
