Here we show that in zebrafish, the geometry of the fertilized egg—specifically its curvature and volume—serves as a critical initial condition triggering a cascade of events that influence development. The embryo geometry guides patterned asymmetric cell divisions in the blastoderm, generating radial gradients of cell volume and nucleocytoplasmic ratio. These gradients generate mitotic phase waves, with the nucleocytoplasmic ratio determining individual cell cycle periods independently of other cells. We demonstrate that reducing cell autonomy reshapes these waves, emphasizing the instructive role of geometry-derived volume patterns in setting the intrinsic period of the cell cycle oscillator. In addition to organizing cell cycles, early embryo geometry spatially patterns zygotic genome activation at the midblastula transition, a key step in establishing embryonic autonomy. Disrupting the embryo shape alters the zygotic genome activation pattern and causes ectopic germ layer specification, underscoring the developmental significance of geometry. Together, our findings reveal a symmetry-breaking function of early embryo geometry in coordinating cell cycle and transcriptional patterning.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","article_type":"original","publisher":"Springer Nature","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","acknowledgement":"We thank N.

Most studies in vivo have focused on the migration of cells using the extracellular matrix (ECM) as their substrate for migration. In contrast, much less is known about how cells migrate on other cells, as found in early embryos when the ECM has not yet formed. Here, we show that lateral mesendoderm (LME) cells in the early zebrafish gastrula use the ectoderm as their substrate for migration. We show that the lateral ectoderm is permissive for the animal-pole-directed migration of LME cells, while the ectoderm at the animal pole halts it. These differences in permissiveness depend on the lateral ectoderm being more cohesive than the animal ectoderm, a property controlled by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling within the ectoderm. Collectively, these findings identify ectoderm tissue cohesion as one critical factor in regulating LME migration during zebrafish gastrulation.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","department":[{"_id":"CaHe"},{"_id":"EdHa"},{"_id":"MiSi"},{"_id":"Bio"}],"tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)"},"author":[{"full_name":"Tavano, Ste","id":"2F162F0C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-9970-7804","first_name":"Ste","last_name":"Tavano"},{"full_name":"Brückner, David","last_name":"Brückner","orcid":"0000-0001-7205-2975","first_name":"David","id":"e1e86031-6537-11eb-953a-f7ab92be508d"},{"first_name":"Saren","orcid":"0000-0003-1671-393X","id":"4323B49C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Tasciyan","full_name":"Tasciyan, Saren"},{"full_name":"Tong, Xin","last_name":"Tong","first_name":"Xin","id":"50F65CDC-AA30-11E9-A72B-8A12E6697425"},{"full_name":"Kardos, Roland","last_name":"Kardos","first_name":"Roland","id":"4039350E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Schauer, Alexandra","id":"30A536BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-7659-9142","first_name":"Alexandra","last_name":"Schauer"},{"id":"4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-9843-3522","first_name":"Robert","last_name":"Hauschild","full_name":"Hauschild, Robert"},{"full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J","last_name":"Heisenberg","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_type":"original","publisher":"Elsevier","isi":1,"pmid":1,"date_published":"2025-03-25T00:00:00Z","article_number":"115387","_id":"19404","intvolume":"        44","scopus_import":"1","OA_place":"publisher","issue":"3","date_created":"2025-03-16T23:01:24Z","acknowledgement":"We are grateful to the colleagues who contributed to this work with discussions, technical advice, and feedback on the manuscript: Irene Steccari, David Labrousse Arias and the other members of the Heisenberg lab, Nicole Amberg, Florian Pauler, Nicoletta Petridou, Elena Scarpa, and Edouard Hannezo.

Yet how the temporal and spatial regulations of cell behaviors are interconnected during embryonic development remains elusive. To address this, we turned to zebrafish gastrulation, the process whereby dynamic cell behaviors generate the three principal germ layers of the early embryo. Here, we show that Hoxb cluster genes are expressed in a temporally collinear manner at the blastoderm margin, where mesodermal and endodermal (mesendoderm) progenitor cells are specified and ingress to form mesendoderm/hypoblast. Functional analysis shows that these Hoxb genes regulate the timing of cell ingression: under- or overexpression of Hoxb genes perturb the timing of mesendoderm cell ingression and, consequently, the positioning of these cells along the forming anterior-posterior body axis after gastrulation. Finally, we found that Hoxb genes control the timing of mesendoderm ingression by regulating cellular bleb formation and cell surface fluctuations in the ingressing cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that Hoxb genes interconnect the temporal and spatial pattern of cell behaviors during zebrafish gastrulation by controlling cell surface fluctuations."}],"author":[{"last_name":"Moriyama","orcid":"0000-0002-2853-8051","id":"addc9b8c-67a0-11f0-b374-a2e094825470","first_name":"Yuuta","full_name":"Moriyama, Yuuta"},{"first_name":"Toshiyuki","last_name":"Mitsui","full_name":"Mitsui, Toshiyuki"},{"last_name":"Heisenberg","id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J","full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J"}],"department":[{"_id":"CaHe"}],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"title":"Hoxb genes determine the timing of cell ingression by regulating cell surface fluctuations during zebrafish gastrulation","corr_author":"1","type":"journal_article","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1477-9129"],"issn":["0950-1991"]},"intvolume":"       152","_id":"20048","article_number":"dev204261","pmid":1,"date_published":"2025-06-27T00:00:00Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank all the Heisenberg lab members for discussions and comments on the manuscript, and the Bioimaging and Life Science facilities of ISTA for support with microscopy and fish maintenance, respectively.

How these opposing requirements are balanced within spreading tissues is not yet well understood. Here, we show that keratin intermediate filaments function in epithelial spreading by adapting tissue mechanical resilience to the stresses arising in the tissue during the spreading process. By analysing the expansion of the enveloping cell layer (EVL) over the large yolk cell in early zebrafish embryos in vivo, we found that keratin network maturation in EVL cells is promoted by stresses building up within the spreading tissue. Through genetic interference and tissue rheology experiments, complemented by a vertex model with mechanochemical feedback, we demonstrate that stress-induced keratin network maturation in the EVL increases tissue viscosity, which is essential for preventing tissue rupture. Interestingly, keratins are also required in the yolk cell for mechanosensitive actomyosin network contraction and flow, the force-generating processes pulling the EVL. These dual mechanosensitive functions of keratins enable a balance between pulling force production in the yolk cell and the mechanical resilience of the EVL against stresses generated by these pulling forces, thereby ensuring uniform and robust tissue spreading."}],"day":"17","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/legalcode","image":"/image/cc_by_nd.png","short":"CC BY-ND (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-ND 4.0)"},"department":[{"_id":"CaHe"},{"_id":"EdHa"}],"oa":1,"author":[{"first_name":"Suyash","orcid":"0000-0001-8421-5508","id":"2C0B105C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Naik","full_name":"Naik, Suyash"},{"last_name":"Keta","first_name":"Yann-Edwin","full_name":"Keta, Yann-Edwin"},{"full_name":"Pranjic-Ferscha, Kornelija","last_name":"Pranjic-Ferscha","first_name":"Kornelija","id":"4362B3C2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Hannezo, Edouard B","id":"3A9DB764-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Edouard B","orcid":"0000-0001-6005-1561","last_name":"Hannezo"},{"first_name":"Silke","last_name":"Henkes","full_name":"Henkes, Silke"},{"full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J","id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","last_name":"Heisenberg"}],"oa_version":"Preprint","related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"20441"}]},"status":"public","publication_status":"draft","title":"Keratins coordinate tissue spreading by balancing spreading forces with tissue material properties","doi":"10.1101/2025.02.14.638262","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.02.14.638262"}],"corr_author":"1","type":"preprint","date_updated":"2026-04-07T11:58:57Z","date_published":"2025-02-17T00:00:00Z","_id":"20465","OA_place":"repository","date_created":"2025-10-14T07:25:27Z","publication":"bioRxiv","month":"02","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","year":"2025","citation":{"mla":"Naik, Suyash, et al. “Keratins Coordinate Tissue Spreading by Balancing Spreading Forces with Tissue Material Properties.” <i>BioRxiv</i>, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.02.14.638262\">10.1101/2025.02.14.638262</a>.","short":"S.

Dynamic reorganization of adhesion receptors and the actomyosin cell cortex in space and time plays a central role in cell-cell contact formation and maturation. Nevertheless, how this process is mechanistically achieved when new contacts are formed remains unclear. Here, by building a biomimetic assay composed of progenitor cells adhering to supported lipid bilayers functionalized with E-cadherin ectodomains, we show that cortical F-actin flows, driven by the depletion of myosin-2 at the cell contact center, mediate the dynamic reorganization of adhesion receptors and cell cortex at the contact. E-cadherin-dependent downregulation of the small GTPase RhoA at the forming contact leads to both a depletion of myosin-2 and a decrease of F-actin at the contact center. At the contact rim, in contrast, myosin-2 becomes enriched by the retraction of bleb-like protrusions, resulting in a cortical tension gradient from the contact rim to its center. This tension gradient, in turn, triggers centrifugal F-actin flows, leading to further accumulation of F-actin at the contact rim and the progressive redistribution of E-cadherin from the contact center to the rim. Eventually, this combination of actomyosin downregulation and flows at the contact determines the characteristic molecular organization, with E-cadherin and F-actin accumulating at the contact rim, where they are needed to mechanically link the contractile cortices of the adhering cells."}],"department":[{"_id":"CaHe"},{"_id":"EdHa"},{"_id":"MaLo"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"author":[{"last_name":"Arslan","id":"49DA7910-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Feyza N","orcid":"0000-0001-5809-9566","full_name":"Arslan, Feyza N"},{"full_name":"Hannezo, Edouard B","last_name":"Hannezo","first_name":"Edouard B","orcid":"0000-0001-6005-1561","id":"3A9DB764-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"last_name":"Merrin","id":"4515C308-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-5145-4609","first_name":"Jack","full_name":"Merrin, Jack"},{"full_name":"Loose, Martin","id":"462D4284-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Martin","orcid":"0000-0001-7309-9724","last_name":"Loose"},{"id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","last_name":"Heisenberg","full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J"}],"user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","article_type":"original","publisher":"Elsevier","isi":1,"date_published":"2024-01-08T00:00:00Z","pmid":1,"page":"171-182.e8","intvolume":"        34","_id":"14795","scopus_import":"1","issue":"1","date_created":"2024-01-14T23:00:56Z","acknowledgement":"We are grateful to Edwin Munro for their feedback and help with the single particle analysis.

Here we show that in ascidian oocytes, the cooperative activities of cortical actomyosin flows and deformation of the adjacent mitochondria-rich myoplasm drive oocyte cytoplasmic reorganization and shape changes following fertilization. We show that vegetal-directed cortical actomyosin flows, established upon oocyte fertilization, lead to both the accumulation of cortical actin at the vegetal pole of the zygote and compression and local buckling of the adjacent elastic solid-like myoplasm layer due to friction forces generated at their interface. Once cortical flows have ceased, the multiple myoplasm buckles resolve into one larger buckle, which again drives the formation of the contraction pole—a protuberance of the zygote’s vegetal pole where maternal mRNAs accumulate. Thus, our findings reveal a mechanism where cortical actomyosin network flows determine cytoplasmic reorganization and cell shape by deforming adjacent cytoplasmic components through friction forces."}],"quality_controlled":"1","type":"journal_article","corr_author":"1","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1745-2481"],"issn":["1745-2473"]},"related_material":{"link":[{"relation":"press_release","description":"News on ISTA Website","url":"https://ista.ac.at/en/news/stranger-than-friction-a-force-initiating-life/"}]},"title":"Friction forces determine cytoplasmic reorganization and shape changes of ascidian oocytes upon fertilization","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"Bio"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"month":"02","publication":"Nature Physics","citation":{"ieee":"S.

In vertebrate gastrulation, both Nodal and BMP signaling play key roles in germ layer specification and morphogenesis, yet their interplay to coordinate embryo patterning with morphogenesis is still insufficiently understood. Here, we took a reductionist approach using zebrafish embryonic explants to study the coordination of Nodal and BMP signaling for embryo patterning and morphogenesis. We show that Nodal signaling triggers explant elongation by inducing mesendodermal progenitors but also suppressing BMP signaling activity at the site of mesendoderm induction. Consistent with this, ectopic BMP signaling in the mesendoderm blocks cell alignment and oriented mesendoderm intercalations, key processes during explant elongation. Translating these ex vivo observations to the intact embryo showed that, similar to explants, Nodal signaling suppresses the effect of BMP signaling on cell intercalations in the dorsal domain, thus allowing robust embryonic axis elongation. These findings suggest a dual function of Nodal signaling in embryonic axis elongation by both inducing mesendoderm and suppressing BMP effects in the dorsal portion of the mesendoderm."}],"corr_author":"1","type":"journal_article","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0950-1991"],"eissn":["1477-9129"]},"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"14926","status":"public","relation":"research_data"}]},"title":"Robust axis elongation by Nodal-dependent restriction of BMP signaling","date_created":"2024-03-03T23:00:50Z","issue":"4","scopus_import":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank Patrick Müller for sharing the chordintt250 mutant zebrafish line as well as the plasmid for chrd-GFP, Katherine Rogers for sharing the bmp2b plasmid and Andrea Pauli for sharing the draculin plasmid.

Nonetheless, the mechanism(s) determining division plane orientation remain elusive. Here, we studied tissue healing after laser-assisted wounding in roots of Arabidopsis thaliana and uncovered how mechanical forces stabilize and reorient the microtubule cytoskeleton for the orientation of cell division. We identified that root tissue functions as an interconnected cell matrix, with a radial gradient of tissue extendibility causing predictable tissue deformation after wounding. This deformation causes instant redirection of expansion in the surrounding cells and reorientation of microtubule arrays, ultimately predicting cell division orientation. Microtubules are destabilized under low tension, whereas stretching of cells, either through wounding or external aspiration, immediately induces their polymerization. The higher microtubule abundance in the stretched cell parts leads to the reorientation of microtubule arrays and, ultimately, informs cell division planes. This provides a long-sought mechanism for flexible re-arrangement of cell divisions by mechanical forces for tissue reconstruction and plant architecture.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"full_name":"Hörmayer, Lukas","orcid":"0000-0001-8295-2926","first_name":"Lukas","id":"2EEE7A2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Hörmayer"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-9179-6099","id":"310A8E3E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Juan C","last_name":"Montesinos López","full_name":"Montesinos López, Juan C"},{"full_name":"Trozzi, N","first_name":"N","last_name":"Trozzi"},{"last_name":"Spona","id":"b52391fb-f636-11ee-939c-8a8c47552e8a","first_name":"Leonhard","full_name":"Spona, Leonhard"},{"full_name":"Yoshida, Saiko","first_name":"Saiko","id":"2E46069C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Yoshida"},{"full_name":"Marhavá, Petra","first_name":"Petra","id":"44E59624-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Marhavá"},{"full_name":"Caballero Mancebo, Silvia","last_name":"Caballero Mancebo","id":"2F1E1758-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-5223-3346","first_name":"Silvia"},{"full_name":"Benková, Eva","id":"38F4F166-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Eva","orcid":"0000-0002-8510-9739","last_name":"Benková"},{"last_name":"Heisenberg","id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J","full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J"},{"last_name":"Dagdas","first_name":"Y","full_name":"Dagdas, Y"},{"full_name":"Majda, M","first_name":"M","last_name":"Majda"},{"full_name":"Friml, Jiří","last_name":"Friml","first_name":"Jiří","id":"4159519E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-8302-7596"}],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"department":[{"_id":"JiFr"},{"_id":"EvBe"},{"_id":"CaHe"}],"article_type":"original","publisher":"Elsevier","isi":1,"user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","page":"1333-1344.e4","_id":"15301","intvolume":"        59","pmid":1,"date_published":"2024-05-20T00:00:00Z","acknowledgement":"We are thankful to Simon Gilroy, Alexander Jones, and Lieven De Veylder for sharing published material.

Here, we identify a positive mechanical feedback loop between cell migration and IF relocalization and find that it promotes embryonic axis formation during zebrafish gastrulation. We show that anterior axial mesendoderm (prechordal plate [ppl]) cells, moving in between the yolk cell and deep cell tissue to extend the embryonic axis, compress the overlying deep cell layer, thereby causing IF to flow from the deep cell layer to the boundary between the yolk cell and the deep cell layer, directly ahead of the advancing ppl. This IF relocalization, in turn, facilitates ppl cell protrusion formation and migration by opening up the space into which the ppl moves and, thereby, the ability of the ppl to trigger IF relocalization by pushing against the overlying deep cell layer. Thus, embryonic axis formation relies on a hydraulic feedback loop between cell migration and IF relocalization.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"full_name":"Huljev, Karla","last_name":"Huljev","id":"44C6F6A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Karla"},{"full_name":"Shamipour, Shayan","id":"40B34FE2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Shayan","last_name":"Shamipour"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-4333-7503","id":"2E839F16-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Diana C","last_name":"Nunes Pinheiro","full_name":"Nunes Pinheiro, Diana C"},{"first_name":"Friedrich","last_name":"Preusser","full_name":"Preusser, Friedrich"},{"full_name":"Steccari, Irene","last_name":"Steccari","id":"2705C766-9FE2-11EA-B224-C6773DDC885E","first_name":"Irene"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-1216-9105","first_name":"Christoph M","id":"4DF26D8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Sommer","full_name":"Sommer, Christoph M"},{"last_name":"Naik","first_name":"Suyash","orcid":"0000-0001-8421-5508","id":"2C0B105C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Naik, Suyash"},{"last_name":"Heisenberg","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J","id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J"}],"department":[{"_id":"CaHe"},{"_id":"Bio"}],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"has_accepted_license":"1","external_id":{"isi":["000982111800001"],"pmid":["36931269"]},"year":"2023","citation":{"ama":"Huljev K, Shamipour S, Nunes Pinheiro DC, et al.

Cytoskeletal rearrangements are thought to constitute the main drivers of cytoplasmic flows and reorganization. In contrast, remarkably little is known about how dynamic changes in size and shape of cell organelles affect cytoplasmic organization. Here, we show that within the maturing zebrafish oocyte, the surface localization of exocytosis-competent cortical granules (Cgs) upon germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) is achieved by the combined activities of yolk granule (Yg) fusion and microtubule aster formation and translocation. We find that Cgs are moved towards the oocyte surface through radially outward cytoplasmic flows induced by Ygs fusing and compacting towards the oocyte center in response to GVBD. We further show that vesicles decorated with the small Rab GTPase Rab11, a master regulator of vesicular trafficking and exocytosis, accumulate together with Cgs at the oocyte surface. This accumulation is achieved by Rab11-positive vesicles being transported by acentrosomal microtubule asters, the formation of which is induced by the release of CyclinB/Cdk1 upon GVBD, and which display a net movement towards the oocyte surface by preferentially binding to the oocyte actin cortex. We finally demonstrate that the decoration of Cgs by Rab11 at the oocyte surface is needed for Cg exocytosis and subsequent chorion elevation, a process central in egg activation. Collectively, these findings unravel a yet unrecognized role of organelle fusion, functioning together with cytoskeletal rearrangements, in orchestrating cytoplasmic organization during oocyte maturation.","lang":"eng"}],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"department":[{"_id":"CaHe"}],"author":[{"id":"40B34FE2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Shayan","last_name":"Shamipour","full_name":"Shamipour, Shayan"},{"full_name":"Hofmann, Laura","last_name":"Hofmann","first_name":"Laura","id":"b88d43f2-dc74-11ea-a0a7-e41b7912e031"},{"last_name":"Steccari","id":"2705C766-9FE2-11EA-B224-C6773DDC885E","first_name":"Irene","full_name":"Steccari, Irene"},{"last_name":"Kardos","first_name":"Roland","id":"4039350E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Kardos, Roland"},{"full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J","last_name":"Heisenberg","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J","id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"title":"Yolk granule fusion and microtubule aster formation regulate cortical granule translocation and exocytosis in zebrafish oocytes","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1545-7885"]},"type":"journal_article","corr_author":"1","pmid":1,"date_published":"2023-06-08T00:00:00Z","page":"e3002146","intvolume":"        21","_id":"13229","scopus_import":"1","date_created":"2023-07-16T22:01:09Z","issue":"6","acknowledgement":"This work was supported by funding from the European Union (European Research Council Advanced grant 742573) to C.-P.H.

Segregation is driven by differential tissue surface tensions generated by cell types through controlling cell-cell contact formation by regulating adhesion and actomyosin contractility-based cellular cortical tensions. We use vertebrate tissue cell types and zebrafish germ layer progenitors as in vitro models of 3-dimensional heterotypic segregation and developed a quantitative analysis of their dynamics based on 3D time-lapse microscopy. We show that general inhibition of actomyosin contractility by the Rho kinase inhibitor Y27632 delays segregation. Cell type-specific inhibition of non-muscle myosin2 activity by overexpression of myosin assembly inhibitor S100A4 reduces tissue surface tension, manifested in decreased compaction during aggregation and inverted geometry observed during segregation. The same is observed when we express a constitutively active Rho kinase isoform to ubiquitously keep actomyosin contractility high at cell-cell and cell-medium interfaces and thus overriding the interface-specific regulation of cortical tensions. Tissue surface tension regulation can become an effective tool in tissue engineering.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"department":[{"_id":"CaHe"},{"_id":"Bio"}],"author":[{"last_name":"Méhes","first_name":"Elod","full_name":"Méhes, Elod"},{"full_name":"Mones, Enys","first_name":"Enys","last_name":"Mones"},{"first_name":"Máté","last_name":"Varga","full_name":"Varga, Máté"},{"full_name":"Zsigmond, Áron","first_name":"Áron","last_name":"Zsigmond"},{"full_name":"Biri-Kovács, Beáta","first_name":"Beáta","last_name":"Biri-Kovács"},{"full_name":"Nyitray, László","last_name":"Nyitray","first_name":"László"},{"first_name":"Vanessa","id":"419EECCC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0003-2676-3367","last_name":"Barone","full_name":"Barone, Vanessa"},{"last_name":"Krens","id":"2B819732-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Gabriel","orcid":"0000-0003-4761-5996","full_name":"Krens, Gabriel"},{"last_name":"Heisenberg","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J","full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J"},{"last_name":"Vicsek","first_name":"Tamás","full_name":"Vicsek, Tamás"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_type":"original","publisher":"Springer Nature","isi":1,"pmid":1,"date_published":"2023-08-04T00:00:00Z","article_number":"817","intvolume":"         6","_id":"14041","scopus_import":"1","date_created":"2023-08-13T22:01:13Z","acknowledgement":"We thank Marton Gulyas (ELTE Eötvös University) for development of videomicroscopy experiment manager and image analysis software.

Although these methods measure changes in global barrier function, they lack the sensitivity needed to detect local or transient barrier breaches, and they do not reveal the location of barrier leaks. Therefore, we previously developed a method that we named the zinc-based ultrasensitive microscopic barrier assay (ZnUMBA), which overcomes these limitations, allowing for detection of local tight junction leaks with high spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we present expanded applications for ZnUMBA. ZnUMBA can be used in Xenopus embryos to measure the dynamics of barrier restoration and actin accumulation following laser injury. ZnUMBA can also be effectively utilized in developing zebrafish embryos as well as cultured monolayers of Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) II epithelial cells. ZnUMBA is a powerful and flexible method that, with minimal optimization, can be applied to multiple systems to measure dynamic changes in barrier function with spatiotemporal precision.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","isi":1,"article_type":"original","publisher":"The Company of Biologists","OA_place":"publisher","issue":"15","date_created":"2023-08-20T22:01:13Z","scopus_import":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"The authors thank their respective lab members for feedback and helpful discussions.

However, how these processes are coordinated, and how tissue patterning is preserved despite the cellular flows occurring during morphogenesis, remains poorly understood. Gastrulation is a crucial embryonic stage that involves both patterning and internalization of the mesendoderm germ layer tissue. Here we show that, in zebrafish embryos, a gradient in Nodal signalling orchestrates pattern-preserving internalization movements by triggering a motility-driven unjamming transition. In addition to its role as a morphogen determining embryo patterning, graded Nodal signalling mechanically subdivides the mesendoderm into a small fraction of highly protrusive leader cells, able to autonomously internalize via local unjamming, and less protrusive followers, which need to be pulled inwards by the leaders. The Nodal gradient further enforces a code of preferential adhesion coupling leaders to their immediate followers, resulting in a collective and ordered mode of internalization that preserves mesendoderm patterning. Integrating this dual mechanical role of Nodal signalling into minimal active particle simulations quantitatively predicts both physiological and experimentally perturbed internalization movements. This provides a quantitative framework for how a morphogen-encoded unjamming transition can bidirectionally couple tissue mechanics with patterning during complex three-dimensional morphogenesis."}],"external_id":{"isi":["000871319900002"]},"year":"2022","citation":{"ieee":"D.

Here, we identify one key upstream regulator of ventral tail bending in embryos of the ascidian Ciona. We show that during the early tailbud stages, ventral epidermal cells exhibit a boat-shaped morphology (boat cell) with a narrow apical surface where phosphorylated myosin light chain (pMLC) accumulates. We further show that interfering with the function of the BMP ligand Admp led to pMLC localizing to the basal instead of the apical side of ventral epidermal cells and a reduced number of boat cells. Finally, we show that cutting ventral epidermal midline cells at their apex using an ultraviolet laser relaxed ventral tail bending. Based on these results, we propose a previously unreported function for Admp in localizing pMLC to the apical side of ventral epidermal cells, which causes the tail to bend ventrally by resisting antero-posterior notochord extension at the ventral side of the tail."}],"department":[{"_id":"CaHe"}],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"author":[{"full_name":"Kogure, Yuki S.","first_name":"Yuki S.","last_name":"Kogure"},{"first_name":"Hiromochi","last_name":"Muraoka","full_name":"Muraoka, Hiromochi"},{"full_name":"Koizumi, Wataru C.","first_name":"Wataru C.","last_name":"Koizumi"},{"full_name":"Gelin-alessi, Raphaël","last_name":"Gelin-alessi","first_name":"Raphaël"},{"last_name":"Godard","id":"33280250-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Benoit G","full_name":"Godard, Benoit G"},{"full_name":"Oka, Kotaro","last_name":"Oka","first_name":"Kotaro"},{"last_name":"Heisenberg","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J","id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J"},{"full_name":"Hotta, Kohji","last_name":"Hotta","first_name":"Kohji"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","external_id":{"pmid":["36227591"],"isi":["000903991700002"]},"year":"2022","citation":{"ieee":"Y.

The level of cortical tension outside of the cell–cell contact, when pulling at the contact edge, scales with the total size to which a cell–cell contact can grow [J.-L. Maître et al., Science 338, 253–256 (2012)]. Here, we show in zebrafish primary germ-layer progenitor cells that this monotonic relationship only applies to a narrow range of cortical tension increase and that above a critical threshold, contact size inversely scales with cortical tension. This switch from cortical tension increasing to decreasing progenitor cell–cell contact size is caused by cortical tension promoting E-cadherin anchoring to the actomyosin cytoskeleton, thereby increasing clustering and stability of E-cadherin at the contact. After tension-mediated E-cadherin stabilization at the contact exceeds a critical threshold level, the rate by which the contact expands in response to pulling forces from the cortex sharply drops, leading to smaller contacts at physiologically relevant timescales of contact formation. Thus, the activity of cortical tension in expanding cell–cell contact size is limited by tension-stabilizing E-cadherin–actin complexes at the contact.","lang":"eng"}],"tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)"},"department":[{"_id":"CaHe"},{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"Bio"}],"author":[{"first_name":"Jana","id":"30F3F2F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Slovakova","full_name":"Slovakova, Jana"},{"last_name":"Sikora","id":"2F74BCDE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Mateusz K","full_name":"Sikora, Mateusz K"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-5809-9566","id":"49DA7910-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Feyza N","last_name":"Arslan","full_name":"Arslan, Feyza N"},{"id":"2F1E1758-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-5223-3346","first_name":"Silvia","last_name":"Caballero Mancebo","full_name":"Caballero Mancebo, Silvia"},{"full_name":"Krens, Gabriel","id":"2B819732-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0003-4761-5996","first_name":"Gabriel","last_name":"Krens"},{"last_name":"Kaufmann","orcid":"0000-0001-9735-5315","first_name":"Walter","id":"3F99E422-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Kaufmann, Walter"},{"full_name":"Merrin, Jack","last_name":"Merrin","id":"4515C308-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Jack","orcid":"0000-0001-5145-4609"},{"full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J","last_name":"Heisenberg","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J"}],"user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","article_type":"original","publisher":"National Academy of Sciences","isi":1,"date_published":"2022-02-14T00:00:00Z","pmid":1,"article_number":"e2122030119","intvolume":"       119","_id":"10766","scopus_import":"1","issue":"8","date_created":"2022-02-20T23:01:31Z","acknowledgement":"We thank Guillaume Salbreaux, Silvia Grigolon, Edouard Hannezo, and Vanessa Barone for discussions and comments on the manuscript and Shayan Shamipour and Daniel Capek for help with data analysis.

We identified lymphocyte trapping by influx and proliferation as drivers of an outward pressure force, causing fibroblastic reticular cells of the T-zone (TRCs) and their associated conduits to stretch. After an initial phase of relaxation, TRCs sensed the resulting strain through cell matrix adhesions, which coordinated local growth and remodeling of the stromal network. While the expanded TRC network readopted its typical configuration, a massive fibrotic reaction of the organ capsule set in and countered further organ expansion.

ZGA is dependent upon dynamic chromatin architecture sculpted by conserved DNA-binding proteins. However, the direct mechanistic link between the onset of ZGA and the tissue-specific transcription remains unclear. Here, we have addressed the involvement of chromatin organizer Satb2 in orchestrating both processes during zebrafish embryogenesis. Integrative analysis of transcriptome, genome-wide occupancy and chromatin accessibility reveals contrasting molecular activities of maternally deposited and zygotically synthesized Satb2. Maternal Satb2 prevents premature transcription of zygotic genes by influencing the interplay between the pluripotency factors. By contrast, zygotic Satb2 activates transcription of the same group of genes during neural crest development and organogenesis. Thus, our comparative analysis of maternal versus zygotic function of Satb2 underscores how these antithetical activities are temporally coordinated and functionally implemented highlighting the evolutionary implications of the biphasic and bimodal regulation of landmark developmental transitions by a single determinant.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","department":[{"_id":"CaHe"}],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"author":[{"full_name":"Pradhan, Saurabh J.","last_name":"Pradhan","first_name":"Saurabh J."},{"first_name":"Puli Chandramouli","last_name":"Reddy","full_name":"Reddy, Puli Chandramouli"},{"full_name":"Smutny, Michael","last_name":"Smutny","orcid":"0000-0002-5920-9090","id":"3FE6E4E8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Michael"},{"first_name":"Ankita","last_name":"Sharma","full_name":"Sharma, Ankita"},{"full_name":"Sako, Keisuke","orcid":"0000-0002-6453-8075","id":"3BED66BE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Keisuke","last_name":"Sako"},{"full_name":"Oak, Meghana S.","last_name":"Oak","first_name":"Meghana S."},{"last_name":"Shah","first_name":"Rini","full_name":"Shah, Rini"},{"first_name":"Mrinmoy","last_name":"Pal","full_name":"Pal, Mrinmoy"},{"full_name":"Deshpande, Ojas","first_name":"Ojas","last_name":"Deshpande"},{"first_name":"Greg","last_name":"Dsilva","full_name":"Dsilva, Greg"},{"last_name":"Tang","first_name":"Yin","full_name":"Tang, Yin"},{"full_name":"Mishra, Rakesh","last_name":"Mishra","first_name":"Rakesh"},{"full_name":"Deshpande, Girish","first_name":"Girish","last_name":"Deshpande"},{"full_name":"Giraldez, Antonio J.","last_name":"Giraldez","first_name":"Antonio J."},{"first_name":"Mahendra","last_name":"Sonawane","full_name":"Sonawane, Mahendra"},{"last_name":"Heisenberg","id":"39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Carl-Philipp J","orcid":"0000-0002-0912-4566","full_name":"Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J"},{"last_name":"Galande","first_name":"Sanjeev","full_name":"Galande, Sanjeev"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","external_id":{"pmid":["34667153"],"isi":["000709050300016"]},"year":"2021","citation":{"mla":"Pradhan, Saurabh J., et al. “Satb2 Acts as a Gatekeeper for Major Developmental Transitions during Early Vertebrate Embryogenesis.” <i>Nature Communications</i>, vol. 12, no. 1, 6094, Springer Nature, 2021, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-26234-7\">10.1038/s41467-021-26234-7</a>.","ista":"Pradhan SJ, Reddy PC, Smutny M, Sharma A, Sako K, Oak MS, Shah R, Pal M, Deshpande O, Dsilva G, Tang Y, Mishra R, Deshpande G, Giraldez AJ, Sonawane M, Heisenberg C-PJ, Galande S. 2021.
