Developmental Dynamics, Volume 253, Issue 2, Page 255-271, February 2024.Abstract Background A hinged jaw that articulates with the skull base is a striking feature of the vertebrate head and has been greatly modified between, and within, vertebrate classes. Genes belonging to the DLX homeobox family are conserved mediators of local signaling pathways that distinguish the dorsal and ventral aspects of the first pharyngeal ...

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 1, January 2024.The Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, is the earliest branching species of extant lungfishes having changed little over the last 100 million years and is thought to be a key species for the fish–tetrapod transition. This ultrastructural study of the cornea reveals it is not split into dermal and scleral components and is similar to that of ...

Lamprey buccal gland secretory protein-2 (BGSP-2) inhibits human T lymphocyte proliferation
Current Zoology, 2010 Lamprey is a representative of the agnathans, the most ancient class of vertebrates. Parasitic lampreys secrete anticoagulant from their buccal glands and prevent blood coagulation of host fishes. We identified a buccal gland secretory protein-2 (BGSP-2)

Evolution of vertebrates as viewed from the crest [PDF]
, 2015 The origin of vertebrates was accompanied by the advent of a novel cell type: the neural crest. Emerging from the central nervous system, these cells migrate to diverse locations and differentiate into numerous derivatives.

Review: Evolution of GnIH structure and function
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 Discovery of gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) in the Japanese quail in 2000 was the first to demonstrate the existence of a hypothalamic neuropeptide inhibiting gonadotropin release.

An Evolutionary Interpretation of Teleostean Forebrain Anatomy [PDF]
, 2009 During the past few years, our investigations of the forebrain in the zebrafish (a teleost fish) have shown that its molecular anatomy and expression patterns of genes involved in the regulation of neuronal transmitter phenotypes, such as gamma ...

The genomic environment around the Aromatase gene: evolutionary insights
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2005 Background The cytochrome P450 aromatase (CYP19), catalyses the aromatisation of androgens to estrogens, a key mechanism in vertebrate reproductive physiology. A current evolutionary hypothesis suggests that CYP19 gene arose at the origin of vertebrates,

The vertebrate RCAN gene family: novel insights into evolution, structure and regulation [PDF]
, 2016 Recently there has been much interest in the Regulators of Calcineurin (RCAN) proteins which are important endogenous modulators of the calcineurin-NFATc signalling pathway.
