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.
  1. Add a new Sub-heading "Lab 1 Assessment" (without the quotes).
  2. Search the database for a reference on "fertilisation" published in the last 5 years.
    1. It must be a research article not a Review.
    2. The full paper must be available online, not just the abstract.
  3. 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).
  4. Under the reference write a short summary of the papers main findings.
    1. Only 1-2 paragraphs.
    2. Must not be a copy of the paper abstract.
  5. Save and you are done.

Lab 2 Assessment - Uploading an Image
  1. 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).
  2. Add that image to your own individual page (see Images) including an image title and its reference link.
  3. No two students should upload the same image, check new images before you upload.
  4. 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

  1. Go to the blank group page and add a topic that interests you along with your student signature.
  2. 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
  1. Identify a known genetic mutation that is associated with cleft lip or palate.
  2. Identify a recent research article on this gene.
  3. How does this mutation affect developmental signalling in normal development.
Lab 7 Assessment - Muscular Dystrophy
  1. What is/are the dystrophin mutation(s)?
  2. What is the function of dystrophin?
  3. What other tissues/organs are affected by this disorder?
  4. What therapies exist for DMD?
  5. 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.

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.

Individual Assessment

Type in a group? A mix of everything: co-ordinator, team worker, resource-investigator, implementer, shaper, monitor-evaluator!

The most interesting thing I learnt in the fertilisation lecture? That the oocyte doesn't complete meiosis II until it's fertilised! didn't know that before, wacky as.

Lab 1 Assessment

Article:

<pubmed>27309808</pubmed>

In this article by Ohto et al. (2016), the group report on findings from their study into the crystal structures of two key proteins involved in sperm–oocyte fusion in human fertilization. IZUMO1 is a sperm transmembrane protein and JUNO is its corresponding receptor found on the surface of the oocyte. X-ray crystallography was used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms behind their interaction and formation of the IZUMO1–JUNO complex. The study found IZUMO1 to bear an elongated rod-shaped structure 90 Å in length, consisting of an N-terminal alpha-helical bundle IZUMO domain and a C-terminal immunoglobulin-like domain, connected by an intervening β-hairpin region via disulfide bonds. This central β-hairpin region was shown to provide the main platform for specific binding to the surface behind the ligand binding pocket on JUNO, which exhibits a single globular fold comprised of eight α-helices and four β-strands, stabilized by eight disulfide bonds. Hydrophobic and van der Waals interactions are the main contributing forces to the binding along with six hydrogen bonds. Subsequent cell–oocyte binding assays were successfully conducted using mouse cells expressing either wild-type or mutant Izumo1 proteins to confirm the functional relevance of the IZUMO1–JUNO interface in sperm–oocyte attachment. Overall the study provided a major development in determining the mechanisms of sperm-oocyte recognition and the IZUMO1–JUNO as an essential part of fertilization. The findings have potential applications in contributing to the development of new therapeutics relating to fertility, such as contraceptive agents.

A1, B2, C3
A1, B3, C2
A2, B1, C3
A2, B3, C1
A3, B1, C2
A3, B2, C1

2 Select the processes in GIT development which DO NOT occur in week 4:

hepatic diverticulum development
differentiation of hepatic cells
recanalization of the GIT endoderm tube
enlarged lumen of the GIT endoderm tube
extension of the dorsal mesogastrium to form the greater omentum

3 The CORRECT adult structures which will go on to be formed from the Midgut division are:

stomach, upper duodenum, lower duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix
lower duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
lower duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, half transverse colon
jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon

4 Which of the following statements is/are CORRECT regarding abnormalities in GIT development:

Atresia is an interruption of the lumen whilst stenosis is a narrowing of the lumen
Meckel’s Diverticulum results from improper closure and absorption of the vitelline duct which connects the yolk to the primitive GIT during early development
Meckel’s Diverticulum is rare, occurring in 1/100,000 births.
Intestinal Malrotation usually presents in neonates and infants with bilious vomiting, bloody stools, recurrent abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, abdominal distention, malabsorption/diarrhea, peritonitis and bile duct obstruction.
Intestinal Aganglionosis is a congenital abdominal wall defect which results in herniation of fetal abdominal viscera into the amniotic cavity.
