Zebrafish neuromesodermal progenitors undergo a critical state transition in vivo

Kane Toh et al.

Summary: This study supports the existence of the transition state model of cell differentiation by observing gene expression variability in zebrafish neuromesodermal progenitors. The results show that there is a transient window of gene expression stochasticity before entry into a differentiated state, and cell population heterogeneity peaks during this period.

Neuromesodermal Progenitors: A Basis for Robust Axial Patterning in Development and Evolution

Ramkumar Sambasivan et al.

Summary: Recent studies have identified a population of bipotent neuromesodermal progenitors in the posterior region of the embryo, which possess the ability to generate spinal cord and paraxial mesoderm cells with a conserved regulatory network. By maintaining this flexible pool of multi-germ layer competent progenitors, the contribution to the elongating body axis can vary depending on relative growth rates in different regions, suggesting a potential role in driving alterations in the timing of embryo growth during evolution.

Understanding axial progenitor biology in vivo and in vitro

Filip J. Wymeersch et al.

Summary: The generation of components of the embryonic body axis occurs in an anterior-to-posterior direction, driven by the production of various cell types from axial progenitors. Recent research focuses on the in vitro production of neuromesodermal progenitors and their potential implications in disease modeling and regenerative medicine.

Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in Sox2 and Bra expression guides progenitor motility and destiny

Michele Romanos et al.

Summary: The study reveals that cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression levels of Sox2 and Bra in progenitors plays a crucial role in guiding cell motility and tissue integration, with Sox2/Bra ratio influencing whether cells stay in the progenitor zone or exit to integrate neural or mesodermal tissues. Mathematical modeling suggests that randomness in Sox2/Bra cell-to-cell distribution favors cell rearrangements and tissue shape conservation during this process.

Cellular aspects of somite formation in vertebrates

Agnieszka M. Piatkowska et al.

Summary: Vertebrate segmentation is a process that has been observed for centuries, but has regained interest in recent decades, especially in the molecular mechanisms behind its regularity. Despite various models proposed, most fail to establish clear links between molecular mechanisms and cell behaviors, leaving room for further research into the cellular aspects of vertebrate segmentation.
