Ex vivo live imaging unveils the dynamics of oocyte formation in mice

Eishi Aizawa, So Shimamoto, Eriko Kajikawa, Junko Hara, Takaya Abe, Hiroki Shibuya, Tomoya S. Kitajima

This study uses ex vivo live imaging to observe oocyte formation dynamics in mice, revealing blebbing activity during mitosis-to-meiosis transition and no organelle transfer between germ cells.

Immotile cilia of the mouse node sense a fluid flow-induced mechanical force for left-right symmetry breaking

Takanobu A. Katoh, Toshihiro Omori, Katsutoshi Mizuno, Xiaorei Sai, Katsura Minegishi, Yayoi Ikawa, Hiromi Nishimura, Takeshi Itabashi, Eriko Kajikawa, Sylvain Hiver, Atsuko Hikikoshi Iwane, Takuji Ishikawa, Yasushi Okada, Takayuki Nishizaka, Hiroshi Hamada

The paper shows that immotile cilia in mouse node cells detect mechanical forces from leftward fluid flow, leading to asymmetric molecular responses that break left-right symmetry.
