abstract

  • fail-safe(自动防故障的)
  • robust self-organization phenomenon
  • cell migration(迁移) trajectory(轨道)
  • mechanical cues
  • push cells into position where they experience the least repulsive forces
  • mechanically guided progress is properly timed
  • how : remained elusive(difficult to know)
  • cell volumes and division times are strongly anticorrelated
  • somatic cells and precursor of germline are correlated
  • their experimental findings by a simple models
    • model in conjunction with mechanical guidance can account for the fail-safe early embryogenesis of C.elegans.

introduction

  • C.ELEGANS are protected and eutely.
  • EUTELY : require egg shell robust and fail-safe, migrate to meaningful spatial positions.
  • migration is invarient.
  • explained:machanical model
    • cells interact via repulsive protentials(势能)
    • it predicted cells to relax towards positions of least repulsion after miosis(有丝分裂)
  • how do individual cells know
    • right now is a good choice for a meaningful and robust mechanically driven arrangement of all cells in the embryo
  • onset of gastrulation
  • how individual cells are coupled to the mechanics of the rest fo the embryo

Methomology

  • why volumes and cell lifetimes are anticorrelated work?
  • M phase(mitosis period) is constant?
  • S phase (preceding preparation period) varied markedly with cell size?

Explanation

  • P granules are deposited in cells of P lineage
  • P granules have benn implicated to sequester(使隐退) NPCs
    • why alpha is bigger the cells of other lineage
  • Maybe linked to a temporal

Experiment

  • RNAi to get smaller or bigger
  • deviations 误差
  • instantaneous 瞬间的
  • anterior 前面的 posterior 后面的
  • phenotype 表现型
  • gastrulation 原肠胚形成
  • what is mechanical model? Eq(1)?
  • which are crucial ingredients for proper embryogenesis?
  • intact 完整的
  • unperturbed 未干扰的,未被打扰的
  • bifurcation 分枝
  • fine tune 微调

conclusion

  • control timming can inflence division
    • and late division result in mechanical difference.
    • mechanically driven migration exist.
