Claudins are crucial for tight junction integrity. This study uses chick embryos to explore claudin roles in development and presents methods to manipulate claudin gene expression in vivo.

Area of Science:

Cell Biology
Developmental Biology
Molecular Biology

Background:

Claudins are essential proteins that maintain epithelial and endothelial tight junction integrity.
While extensively studied in vitro, their dynamic regulation and roles in vivo during embryogenesis remain less understood.
Altered claudin expression can negatively impact tissue formation and function.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the roles of claudin family members in chick embryogenesis, specifically during gastrulation and left-right patterning.
To develop and describe methodologies for manipulating claudin gene expression in targeted tissues within the chick embryo model.
To explore how claudin modulation affects epithelial-to-mesenchymal and mesenchymal-to-epithelial transitions during tissue morphogenesis.

Main Methods:
