The introduction of in ovo electroporation a decade ago has helped the chick embryo to become a powerful system to study gene regulation and function during development. Although this is a simple procedure for embryos of 2-d incubation, earlier stages (from laying to early neurulation, 0-1 d) present special challenges. Here we describe a robust and reproducible protocol for electroporation of expression vectors and morpholino oligonucleotides into

During gastrulation, a single epithelial cell layer, the ectoderm, generates two others: the mesoderm and the endoderm. In amniotes (birds and mammals), mesendoderm formation occurs through an axial midline structure, the primitive streak, the formation of which is preceded by massive 'polonaise' movements of ectoderm cells. The mechanisms controlling these processes are unknown. Here, using multi-photon time-lapse microscopy of chick (Gallus gallus)

The school is intended for advanced PhD students of postdocs in neuroscience-related fields who already have a scientific record. A total of 30 students will be accepted. http://biologie.kappa.ro/Pens_Workshop_2007/home.htm http://fens.mdc-berlin.de/pens/2007/schools/bucharest/aims.html

Boundary cap (BC) cells are neural crest derivatives that form clusters at the surface of the neural tube, at entry and exit points of peripheral nerve roots. Using various knock-in alleles of the mouse gene Egr2 (also known as Krox20), the expression of which, in trunk regions, is initially restricted to BC cells, we were able to trace BC cell progeny during development and analyze their fate. Trunk BC-derived cells migrated along peripheral axons
