Wnt/β-catenin signaling is an evolutionarily conserved determinant of chordate dorsal organizer
eLife, 2020 Deciphering the mechanisms of axis formation in amphioxus is a key step to understanding the evolution of chordate body plan. The current view is that Nodal signaling is the only factor promoting the dorsal axis specification in the amphioxus, whereas ...

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship
genesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.This study shows that ERK/PKA upregulation in mammalian cortical radial glia (RGs) sustains neurogenesis and suppresses gliogenesis. YAP/TAZ activation promotes ependymal cell formation, while enhanced SHH‐SMO signaling induces astrocyte, oligodendrocytes, and olfactory bulb interneuron generation.

Nature, 1939 SPECIMENS of Amphioxus caribbaeum collected while working at the Tortugas Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington were examined with respect to the amylase present in the gut. Determinations were carried out by the micro-method of Linderstrom-Lang and Holter as modified by Holter and Doyle1.

Exploring developmental, functional, and evolutionary aspects of amphioxus sensory cells
International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2006 Amphioxus has neither elaborated brains nor definitive sensory organs, so that the two may have evolved in a mutually affecting manner and given rise to the forms seen in extant vertebrates.

Congenital Anomalies, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/December 2026.ABSTRACT Teratology, the study of congenital anomalies, has developed from a descriptive discipline into a mechanistic science focused on the proximate causes of developmental defects, meaning how such anomalies arise during development. However, a comprehensive understanding requires not only this mechanistic insight but also an evolutionary ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.ABSTRACT The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety of reproductive modes, represent an ideal yet challenging clade for investigating SD and the evolution of sexual systems.

Gene duplications in the prototypical cephalochordate amphioxus.
, 2002 The new discipline of Evolutionary Developmental Biology (Evo-Devo) is facing the fascinating paradox of explaining morphological evolution using conserved pieces or genes to build divergent animals.

Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract A fundamental assumption of hypothesis‐driven decay experiments is that, during decay, the loss of anatomy follows a sequence broadly controlled by the intrinsic compositional properties of tissues. Recent work investigating the succession of postmortem endogenous microbial communities (thanatomicrobiome) challenges this assumption in that the
