Please leave this template on top of your student page as I will add your assessment items here. Beginning your online work - Working Online in this course Make your own page. Log-in to the embryology website using your student ID and Zpass. Click your student number (shown in red at the top right of the screen following log-in) Create page using the tab at the top of the page, and save. Add the following to the top of your page exactly as shown - {{ANAT2341Student2016}} How would you identify your Type in a group and add to your page. What was the most interesting thing you learnt in the fertilisation lecture? If you have done the above correctly your ZID should be blue and not red on this page link - ANAT2341 2016 Students. Here is the example page I made in Lab 1 Student Page. With a few more explanatory notes.

Lab 1 Assessment - Researching a Topic
In the lab I showed you how to find the PubMed reference database and search it using a topic word. Lab 1 assessment will be for you to use this to find a research reference on "fertilization" and write a brief summary of the main finding of the paper. Add a new Sub-heading "Lab 1 Assessment" (without the quotes). Search the database for a reference on "fertilisation" published in the last 5 years. It must be a research article not a Review. The full paper must be available online, not just the abstract. Add a link to this reference using its PMID using this code <pubmed>XXXXX</pubmed> replacing the Xs with just the PMID number (no text). Under the reference write a short summary of the papers main findings. Only 1-2 paragraphs. Must not be a copy of the paper abstract. Save and you are done.
Lab 2 Assessment - Uploading an Image
Upload a research image using the guide information below. The image uploaded for your individual assessment can relate to your project or from fertilisation to week 3 of development (upload only a single image). Add that image to your own individual page (see Images) including an image title and its reference link. No two students should upload the same image, check new images before you upload. No student can delete an image once uploaded, please contact me by email with the image address and I will delete (with no penalty, just glad to help out). 2016 Group Project Topic - Signaling in Development OK you are now in a group Go to the blank group page and add a topic that interests you along with your student signature. No two groups can do the same topic, but at this stage the final topic has not yet been decided (next week). Initially the topic can be as specific or as broad as you want.

Lab 4 Assessment - GIT Quiz
ANAT2341 Quiz Example | Category:Quiz | ANAT2341 Student 2015 Quiz Questions | Design 4 quiz questions based upon gastrointestinal tract. Add the quiz to your own page under Lab 4 assessment and provide a sub-sub-heading on the topic of the quiz. An example is shown below (open this page in view code or edit mode). Note that it is not just how you ask the question, but also how you explain the correct answer.
Lab 5 Assessment - Course Review
Complete the course review questionnaire and add the fact you have completed to your student page.
Lab 6 Assessment - Cleft Lip and Palate
Identify a known genetic mutation that is associated with cleft lip or palate. Identify a recent research article on this gene. How does this mutation affect developmental signalling in normal development.
Lab 7 Assessment - Muscular Dystrophy
What is/are the dystrophin mutation(s)? What is the function of dystrophin? What other tissues/organs are affected by this disorder? What therapies exist for DMD? What animal models are available for muscular dystrophy?
Lab 8 Assessment - Quiz
A brief quiz was held in the practical class on urogenital development.
Lab 9 Assessment - Peer Assessment
This will form part of your individual assessment for the course. Each student should now look at each of the other Group projects in the class. Next prepare a critical assessment (should include both positive and negative issues) of each project using the project group assessment criteria. This assessment should be pasted without signature on the top of the specific project's discussion page. (minimum length 3-5 paragraphs/project) This critical assessment should also be pasted on your own student page. Each student should therefore have 5 separate reports pasted on their own page for this assessment item. Length, quality and accuracy of your reports will be part of the overall mark for this assessment. there will be a greater loading on this than simple question assessments.
Lab 10 Assessment - Stem Cells
As part of the assessment for this course, you will give a 15 minutes journal club presentation in Lab 10. For this you will in your current student group discuss a recent (published after 2011) original research article (not a review!) on stem cell biology or technology. Lab 10 - Stem Cell Presentations 2016 Group Mark Assessor General Comments Group 1: 15/20 Group 2: 19/20 Group 3: 20/20 Group 4: 19/20 Group 5: 16/20 Group 6: 16/20 The students put great effort in their presentation and we heard a nice variety of studies in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine today. The interaction after the presentation was great. As general feedback I would like to advise students to: Never discuss M&M as a separate section in journal clubs. I gave this advice prior to the lab, but still most groups did talk through the M&M section. Do not use your slides as cheat sheets, avoid text on slides, know what messages you need to get across, use images to illustrate these Engage with your slides. Talk through them. Point at panels. Gauge your audience’s understanding by making eye contact with them Avoid using abbreviations. Most people do not readily understand these and will lose track
Lab 11 Assessment - Heart Development
Read the following recent review article on heart repair and from the reference list identify a cited research article and write a brief summary of the paper's main findings. Then describe how the original research result was used in the review article. <pubmed>26932668</pubmed>Development

Paper Review: This article has firstly proved that the proteins (ZP-1, ZP-2 & ZP-3) in mouse zona pellucida form functional amyloid surrounding the oocytes. Firstly, several experiments such as staining and western blot were performed to confirm that the proteins are forming amyloid structure. Then, the amino acid sequence of the proteins from six different taxa were analysed and essential amyloidogenic sites were identified. It has been described that different ZP proteins will aggregate with each other or self-aggregate in different ways, depends on the amyloidogenic sites it possess. Specifically, ZP-N repeats, which is on of the amyloidogenic sites, has been stated to be related to the recognition of sperm. Therefore, the conclusion that ZP proteins exist in the ZP as functional amyloid and may get involved in prevention of polyspermy and cross-species fertilisation has been come up with. Moreover, since the amyloidogenic sites across species seem to be conserved, the amyloid formed are expected to possess similar functions, making this study on mouse model useful on human researches. Furthermore, some proteins exist in other parts of the body also have the conserved amyloidogenic sites, part or all of their functions may be carried out through their amyloid structure formed.

Amyloid used to be associated with several neurodegenerative and prion diseases in mammals. However, it is becoming increasingly obvious that functional amyloid does exist and possesses a physiological function rather than a pathological function. The further research can be focusing on the specificity of the amyloid structure formed and the functions related. Based on the data published, a question about diagram 2A is raised. It is known that buffer was used to incubate with the PAD beads as the negative control. However, a light band can be observed in the negative control, which is not supposed to happen.

Mark Hill 18 August 2016 - You have added the citation correctly and written a good summary of the article. Quite an interesting paper on protein structure of the ZP, amyloid cross-β sheet fibrillar structure is an interesting association. Unfortunately I have had to take marks off the final assessment as you have not added the reference correctly. Add a link to this reference using its PMID using this code <pubmed>XXXXX</pubmed> replacing the Xs with just the PMID number (no text). You have just added the link, here is the reference: <pubmed>26043223</pubmed> I also fixed your formatting that had a space at the beginning (no deduction for this).

• Interferon Regulatory Factor 6 (IRF6) is a well established gene which mutations are related with non-syndromic Cleft lip and palate (NSCL/P).
  • PMID 21331089 & PMID 22438645 were reviewed to achieve a better understanding about IRF6 mutations and NSCL/P.
  • It seems that there are many types of mutations related with IRF6 gene, and different mutations are related with different outcomes. IRF6 has been identified to play a role in keratinocyte proliferation/differentiation switch. Further investigation has suggested that IRF6 is involved in the formation of oral periderm. The spatio-temporal regulation of the keratinocytes established by IRF6 protein is able to ensure the appropriate palatal adhesion. Moreover, p63 has been identified as an upstream regulator of IRF6, and mutations at p63 locus may cause similar pathological effects as the IRF6 mutations.
