🎉 New #CIBSS publication!
Dr. Daria @onichtchouk.bsky.social reveals how chromosome structure is organised at the very start of life. Using zebrafish, the team shows how DNA architecture forms as embryos activate their genomes.

How does a ball of cells become an embryo? Genes matter—but physics (forces, geometry, topology) drives self-organization. Hervé Turlier's research vision on the physics of embryogenesis👇

p-Enh deletion disrupts NMPs’ bi-potency and biases lineage commitment toward PSM fate across in vitro, in vivo, and in silico models
Cell Regen Research | Posterior enhancer (p-Enh) maintains neuromesodermal progenitor bi-potency during gastrulation! Deletion biases fate toward presomitic mesoderm, thereby disrupting spinal cord development. #StemCells #Embryogenesis

XCI-ited to share that @Runumi from our lab recently attended the Gordon Research Conference on "Epigenetic Variation: Mechanisms and Impact across Systems" held in Barcelona, Spain. She presented her work on role of #m6A-RNA in #embryogenesis and dosage compensation #X-inactivation.
☕The authors identify a chemical cocktail to generate #totipotent - like cells, which they then use to build an #embryo model. This model captures a developmental spectrum from early #embryogenesis to post-implantation events.

Left, from top to bottom: Mouse: An internal fertilizer where sperm entry initiates sustained Ca2+ oscillations via sperm-derived PLCζ. Drosophila: An internal fertilizer, but egg activation triggered by mechanical stimuli following ovulation precedes fertilization. Amphibians: External fertilizing species where sperm interaction with an unidentified oolemma receptor triggers the Ca2+ wave. Zebrafish: An external fertilizing species where Ca2+ release and egg activation occur upon spawning and following contact with water and activation of a protease-activated receptor 2a (Par-2a). Top right: Speculative localization of Par-2a and associated G proteins in the zebrafish egg cortex before fertilization; the activating serine proteases and precise ligand changes remain unidentified. Bottom right: Post-activation Ca2+ dynamics in zebrafish embryos: each cleavage division is driven by a localized Ca2+ rise at the cleavage furrow. The extent to which Par-2a and IP3 signaling contribute to these post-activation Ca2+ transients will require additional confirmation. Shown: 1-cell zygote, 2-cell, and 4-cell stages.
The calcium surge that starts #embryogenesis varies across species. This Primer explores a @plosbiology.org study of #zebrafish, revealing that protease-activated receptors mediate a calcium signal that initiates #egg activation before #sperm entry 🧪 Paper: plos.io/467nrzY Primer: plos.io/3TuRvy1
