  1. 1 The logistics of shaping a vertebrate embryo in developmental space and time
  2. 2 Everything complex is simple to begin with..
  3. 3 The "teenage angst" of embryos
  4. 4 Early zebrafish embryos as an experimental paradigm to understand cell size scaling during embryonic development
  5. 5 Cells decrease in size during early zebrafish development
  6. 6 Cell size decrease during early zebrafish development
  7. 7 Dynamically evolving cell sizes are distributed in conserved proportions during early development
  8. 8 Why study cell size during early embryonic development?
  9. 9 How does one change cell size when one does not know what regulates cell size?
  10. 10 Generation of zebrafish haploids and tetraploids
  11. 11 Cell sizes in haploid and tetraploid zebrafish embryos are altered in comparison to diploid embryos
  12. 12 Haploid and tetraploid embryos generate cell collectives of altered sizes
  13. 13 Movement is an inherently complex phenomenon
  14. 14 Gastrulation is the phenomenon of en mass cell migration in animal embryos,
  15. 15 Model organisms allow us to study evolutionary commonalities between species
  16. 16 The conundrum
  17. 17 Early cell divisions in embryos result in constantly shrinking cell sizes to generate a cell mass
  18. 18 Generated zebrafish haploids and tetraploids to create embryos made of altered cell sizes
  19. 19 Haploid and tetraploid embryos are delayed in epiboly initiation, progression and gastrulate abnormally
  20. 20 Haploids and tetraploids embryos have defects in anterior migration,
  21. 21 Haploid and tetraploid embryos generate cell collectives of altered sizes
  22. 22 Dynamically evolving cell sizes are distributed in conserved proportions during early development
  23. 23 Movement in an embryological context always gives rise to form
  24. 24 Haploids and tetraploids embryos have defects in anterior migration,
  25. 25 If cells in diploid embryos are made to be of suboptimal sizes,
  26. 26 If smaller cells are induced to achieve normal cell size optima,
  27. 27 Do sub-optimally sized cells migrate aberrantly during gastrulation?
  28. 28 Do sub-optimally sized cells migrate aberrantly during gastrulation? - Yes
  29. 29 The migratory behaviour of cells in a suboptimal sized cell collective is altered
  30. 30 Do sub-optimally sized cells migrate aberrantly during gastrulation? Analysing cells in an embryo by generating mosaic embryos
  31. 31 Smaller or larger cells continue to migrate aberrantly during gastrulation,
  32. 32 Migration is influenced by environment of the cell collective
  33. 33 Why does a cell of suboptimal size migrate poorly? Assaying membrane action dynamics during gastrulation in live embryos
  34. 34 Membrane protrusion dynamics change when cell size changes
  35. 35 Membrane protrusion dynamics of action containing protrusions change when cell size changes
  36. 36 Quick recap...
  37. 37 Why is this interesting, besides it just being interesting?
  38. 38 Endodermal organogenesis and function is also compromised
  39. 39 The big question: How do embryos set up cell size optima?
