text: The transcription coactivator, Yes-associated protein (YAP), which is a nuclear
effector of the Hippo signaling pathway, has been shown to be a mechano-transducer.
By using mutant fish and human 3D spheroids, we have recently demonstrated that
YAP is also a mechano-effector. YAP functions in three-dimensional (3D) morphogenesis
of organ and global body shape by controlling actomyosin-mediated tissue tension.
In this chapter, we present a platform that links the findings in fish embryos
with human cells. The protocols for analyzing tissue tension-mediated global body
shape/organ morphogenesis in vivo and ex vivo using medaka fish embryos and in
vitro using human cell spheroids represent useful tools for unraveling the molecular
mechanisms by which YAP functions in regulating global body/organ morphogenesis.

text: Non-canonical Wnt signaling plays a central role for coordinated cell polarization
and directed migration in metazoan development. While spatiotemporally restricted
activation of non-canonical Wnt-signaling drives cell polarization in epithelial
tissues, it remains unclear whether such instructive activity is also critical
for directed mesenchymal cell migration. Here, we developed a light-activated
version of the non-canonical Wnt receptor Frizzled 7 (Fz7) to analyze how restricted
activation of non-canonical Wnt signaling affects directed anterior axial mesendoderm
(prechordal plate, ppl) cell migration within the zebrafish gastrula. We found
that Fz7 signaling is required for ppl cell protrusion formation and migration
and that spatiotemporally restricted ectopic activation is capable of redirecting
their migration. Finally, we show that uniform activation of Fz7 signaling in
ppl cells fully rescues defective directed cell migration in fz7 mutant embryos.
Together, our findings reveal that in contrast to the situation in epithelial
cells, non-canonical Wnt signaling functions permissively rather than instructively
in directed mesenchymal cell migration during gastrulation.

text: Cell fate specification by lateral inhibition typically involves contact signaling
through the Delta-Notch signaling pathway. However, whether this is the only signaling
mode mediating lateral inhibition remains unclear. Here we show that in zebrafish
oogenesis, a group of cells within the granulosa cell layer at the oocyte animal
pole acquire elevated levels of the transcriptional coactivator TAZ in their nuclei.
One of these cells, the future micropyle precursor cell (MPC), accumulates increasingly
high levels of nuclear TAZ and grows faster than its surrounding cells, mechanically
compressing those cells, which ultimately lose TAZ from their nuclei. Strikingly,
relieving neighbor-cell compression by MPC ablation or aspiration restores nuclear
TAZ accumulation in neighboring cells, eventually leading to MPC re-specification
from these cells. Conversely, MPC specification is defective in taz−/− follicles.
These findings uncover a novel mode of lateral inhibition in cell fate specification
based on mechanical signals controlling TAZ activity.

text: There is increasing evidence that both mechanical and biochemical signals
play important roles in development and disease. The development of complex organisms,
in particular, has been proposed to rely on the feedback between mechanical and
biochemical patterning events. This feedback occurs at the molecular level via
mechanosensation but can also arise as an emergent property of the system at the
cellular and tissue level. In recent years, dynamic changes in tissue geometry,
flow, rheology, and cell fate specification have emerged as key platforms of mechanochemical
feedback loops in multiple processes. Here, we review recent experimental and
theoretical advances in understanding how these feedbacks function in development
and disease.

text: The spatiotemporal organization of cell divisions constitutes an integral
part in the development of multicellular organisms, and mis-regulation of cell
divisions can lead to severe developmental defects. Cell divisions have an important
morphogenetic function in development by regulating growth and shape acquisition
of developing tissues, and, conversely, tissue morphogenesis is known to affect
both the rate and orientation of cell divisions. Moreover, cell divisions are
associated with an extensive reorganization of the cytoskeleton and adhesion apparatus
in the dividing cells that in turn can affect large-scale tissue rheological properties.
Thus, the interplay between cell divisions and tissue morphogenesis plays a key
role in embryo and tissue morphogenesis.
