  2. 1. Specification of the lens and olfactory placodes and dorsoventral patterning of the telencephalon

    Author : My Sjödal; Juha Partanen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : telencephalon; olfactory; lens; BMP; RA; FGF; Wnt; development; placode; gradient; chick; nervous system; dorsoventral; medicinsk utvecklings- och neurobiologi; Developmental Neurosciences;

    Abstract : The vertebrate nervous system is a highly complex and intriguing structure with diverse functions. To understand the functional nervous system, we first have to be aware of how it is assembled during development. READ MORE

  4. 2. Specification of Dorsal and Intermediate Telencephalic Character

    Author : Matthew Marklund; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; telencephalon; forebrain; dorsoventral patterning; WNT; FGF; RA; retinoid-mediated signaling; development; specification; cortex; striatal; intermediate; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : The telencephalon is the most highly evolved region of the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). The major structures of the telencephalon - the cortex and basal ganglia – derive from the dorsally positioned pallium and the ventrally positioned subpallium, respectively. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regulation of morphogen signalling during neural patterning in the Xenopus embryo

    Author : Hooi Min Tan Grahn; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Suppressor-of-fused; Gli; β-Catenin; Neural; Xenopus; FGF; Signalling; HtrA1; RDH10; Retinol dehydrogenase; Retinoic acid; Spemann s organizer; Induction; Gradient;

    Abstract : Morphogens such as Hedghog, Wnt, FGF, and retinoic acid are important signals whose concentrations need to be tightly regulated in the vertebrate embryo to ensure body axis development and formation of the central nervous system. We first show that the intracellular cytoplasmic protein XSufu acts as a dual regulator of Hedgehog (Hh) and Wnt signals during neural induction and patterning in the Xenopus embryo. READ MORE

  6. 4. Transcription regulation across levels of chromatin organization

    Author : Roshan Vaid; Mattias Mannervik; Goncalo Castelo-Branco; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transcription; chromatin; epigenetics; Drosophila; embryo development; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : With advancements in high-throughput sequencing and high-resolution microscopy techniques, the significance of genome organization in transcription regulation is rapidly unveiling. Nonetheless, we are yet far from completely understanding this key relationship. READ MORE

  7. 5. The interplay of transcription and chromatin regulation during embryonic development

    Author : George Hunt; Mattias Mannervik; Eileen Furlong; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transcription; chromatin; chromatin-modifiers; p300 CBP; Polycomb repression; promoter proximal Pol II pausing; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : A fascinating aspect of multicellular development is the production of diverse cell types from an identical DNA genome, which depends on the ability to express different complements of genes across space and time. This thesis tries to address how the genome, within the chromatin structure that envelops it, is regulated to direct this complex process. READ MORE
