How can you use “gastrulation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

As gastrulation starts, the Spemann–Mangold organizer, which includes mostly axial mesodermal precursors, was classically believed to instruct naïve ectoderm to convert to neural tissue.
When examining the in vivo effects of HIV-1 Tat protein in the Xenopus embryo, it was found that upon injection of synthetic Tat mRNA into zygotes, a marked delay in gastrulation occurred.
SL-1 induction in p2S cells, an untransformed mouse mammary epithelial cell line, triggered the disappearance of E-cadherin and beta-catenin from cell-cell junctions and reduced the expression of beta-catenin [ 35 ] . Wnt-5a and SL-1 may play similar roles in inhibiting cadherin-mediated cell-adhesion, as Wnt-5a decreases Ca 2+-dependent cell adhesion similar to a dominant negative cadherin [ 11 ] . The regulation of SL-1 by Wnt-5a may be important in developmental processes such as gastrulation where Wnt-5a affects the morphogenetic movement of tissues [ 45 ] .
Recent work on neural induction comes to two major conclusions: (i) the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling pathway plays a major role in this process, and (ii) neural specification starts well before gastrulation and thus before the formation and function of the organizer.
Mechanistically, HIV-1 Tat elicited a general suppression of gene expression, including that of Xbra and gsc , two early genes whose expression are required for proper gastrulation [ 17 ] .
