Cilia, calcium and the basis of left-right asymmetry

BMC Biol. 2012 Dec 19;10:102. doi: 10.1186/1741-7007-10-102.

Abstract ABSTRACT: The clockwise rotation of cilia in the developing mammalian embryo drives a leftward flow of liquid; this genetically regulated biophysical force specifies left-right asymmetry of the mammalian body. How leftward flow is interpreted and information propagated to other tissues is the subject of debate. Four recent papers have shed fresh light on the possible mechanisms.

The bending of cell sheets--from folding to rolling

BMC Biol. 2011 Dec 29;9:90. Keller R, Shook D. Source Department of Biology, 241 Gilmer Hall, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA. rek3k@virginia.edu

Abstract

The bending of cell sheets plays a major role in multicellular embryonic morphogenesis. Recent advances are leading to a deeper understanding of how the biophysical properties and the force-producing behaviors of cells are regulated, and how these forces are integrated across cell sheets during bending. We review work that shows that the dynamic balance of apical versus basolateral cortical tension controls specific aspects of invagination of epithelial sheets, and recent evidence that tissue expansion by growth contributes to neural retinal invagination in a stem cell-derived, self-organizing system. Of special interest is the detailed analysis of the type B inversion in Volvox reported in BMC Biology by Höhn and Hallmann, as this is a system that promises to be particularly instructive in understanding morphogenesis of any monolayered spheroid system. © 2011 Keller and Shook; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
