Happy Holidays to everyone! 

We are Althea Marie Bernardo, Joreen Nicole Fajardo, and Paul Daniel Grefalda from the Lecture 3 (W 10 AM-1 PM) class of the Bio 133 course. Below is the link for our report on gastrulation specifically from the article "GASTRULATION: Making and Shaping Germ Layers" by Lila Solnica-Krezel and Diane S. Sepich (2012):

Hi Paul, Althea, and Joreen! 

I am Angelo from LEC3 Spermatogenesis group.

Thank you for that interesting presentation. To further your discussion, our group (Marababol, Tan, Tayag) would like to inquire: Are there current treatments for any disorder that targets the molecular mechanism or pathway of gastrulation?

Thank you very much and please stay safe.

Hello Angelo!

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, based on the researchers currently available to us, there seems to be no current treatments that targets the pathway of gastrulation. As of right now, the current technology is focused on detecting genetic or in-born disorders, including diagnosis of disorders in early stages of development.

Stay safe as well.

Hi IC, Joreen, and Paul!

I am Rogene from the Formation of Sense Organs group. Our group (Acar, Aliposa, Bueno) would like to congratulate you on the extensive and informative presentation. We would like to ask what could be the possible effects or consequences if the microtubule and actin cytoskeletal systems are not properly regulated by the factors you mentioned (small GTPases, APC, formins, and MACF7)?

Thank you and we hope all your members are safe and well!

Greetings to you, IC, Joreen, and Paul! Happy Holidays! What an informative and thorough presentation that was. On behalf of our group with Leomer Cionelo and Gem Morada, I would like to take this opportunity to ask: given the significant effect of gastrulation on embryonic development, how likely do defects due to its impaired process in this specific stage occur? And are there corresponding particular examples of the underlying cellular mechanisms that get disrupted leading to gastrulation defects?
