Cell cleavage occurs as the embryo begins to develop in vitro. The embryo reaches the blastocyst stage. Therapeutic cloning Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are extracted and grown in culture. The stem cells are developed into healthy pancreatic islet cells needed by the patient. The healthy tissue is injected or transplanted into the diabetic patient.

Establishing the Polarity of the Embryo Fertilization of the egg triggers the production of Bicoid protein from maternal RN A in the egg. The Bicoid protein diffuses through the egg, forming a gradient. This gradient determines the polarity of the embryo, with the head and thorax developing in the zone of high concentration (green fluorescent dye in antibodies that bind bicoid protein allows visualization of the gradient). Setting the Stage for Segmentation About 21/2 hours after fertilization, Bicoid protein turns on a series of brief signals from so-called gap genes. The gap proteins act to divide the embryo into large blocks. In this photo, fluorescent dyes in antibodies that bind to the gap proteins Krüppel (orange) and Hunchback (green) make the blocks visible; the region of overlap is yellow. 500 µm 500 µm Laying Down the Fundamental Regions About 0.5 hr later , the gap genes switch on the “pair-rule” genes, which are each expressed in seven stripes. This is shown for the pair-rule gene hairy . Some pair-rule genes are only required for even-numbered segments while others are only required for odd numbered segments. 500 µm Forming the Segments The final stage of segmentation occurs when a “segmentpolarity” gene called engrailed divides each of the seven regions into halves, producing 14 narrow compartments. Each compartment corresponds to one segment of the future body . There are three head segments (H, bottom right), three thoracic segments (T, upper right), and eight abdominal segments (A, from top right to bottom left).

SCIENTIFIC THINKING Hypothesis: Fibronectin is required for cell migration during gastrulation. Prediction: Blocking fibronectin with antifibronectin antibodies before gastrulation should prevent cell movement. Test: Staged salamander embryos were injected either with antifibronectin antibody, or with preimmune serum as a control, prior to gastrulation. Cell movements were then monitored photographically. Treated with Preimmune Treated with Antifibronectin Blastopore Cells have moved 285.7 µm into the interior a. Blastopore Cells pile up on the surface 285.7 µm b. Result: The experimental embryos injected with antifibronectin antibody show extremely aberrant gastrulation where cells pile up and do not enter the interior of the embryo. Control embryos gastrulate normally. Conclusion: Fibronectin is required for cells to migrate into the interior of the embryo during gastrulation. Further Experiments: How can this same system be used to analyze the role of fibronectin in other early morphogenetic events? a-b: From Boucaut et al., 1984, courtesy of J-C Boucaut. 20 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
