Ooplasmic segregation in the late interphase zygote of the leech Theromyzon trizonare is accomplished by reorganization of an ectoplasmic cytoskeleton formed by polar rings and meridional bands. The dynamic properties of ...

The reprogramming of different specialized cell types into others has been widely studied in recent years. More specifically, the generation of induced neurons (iNs) from other differentiated cells is applied to study ...

Neural development is classically defined as a period during which stem cells progressively originate progenitors with restricted potential and, finally, neuronal cells (neurogenesis) and macroglia (gliogenesis). For many ...

Segregation and proliferation of mitochondria, leading to formation of the teloplasms (pole plasms), were studied in eggs of the leech T. rude by immunocytochemistry, fluorescent time lapse video imaging, confocal and ...
