Investigating body patterning in aquarium-raised flamboyant cuttlefish (Metasepia pfefferi) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Cuttlefish are known for their ability to quickly alter their total appearance, or body pattern, to camouflage or to communicate with predators, prey and conspecifics.

BMP suppresses WNT to integrate patterning of orthogonal body axes in adult planarians. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2023 Adult regeneration restores patterning of orthogonal body axes after damage in a post-embryonic context. Planarians regenerate using distinct body-wide signals primarily regulating each axis dimension: anteroposterior Wnts, dorsoventral BMP, and ...

The planarian dorsal-ventral boundary regulates anterior-posterior axis growth and patterning. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyRegeneration can involve the coordination of pattern formation in an outgrowth with the spatial pattern of pre-existing tissues, such as along body axes.

Centrin diversity and basal body patterning across evolution: new insights from Paramecium [PDF]
Biology Open, 2017 First discovered in unicellular eukaryotes, centrins play crucial roles in basal body duplication and anchoring mechanisms. While the evolutionary status of the founding members of the family, Centrin2/Vfl2 and Centrin3/cdc31 has long been investigated ...

Nascent flagellar basal bodies are immobilized by rod assembly in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
mBioFlagella are complex, trans-envelope nanomachines that localize in species-specific patterns on the cell surface. Here, we study the localization dynamics of the earliest stage of basal body formation in Bacillus subtilis using a fluorescent fusion to ...

Impact of resistant starch on body fat patterning and central appetite regulation.
PLoS ONE, 2007 BackgroundAdipose tissue patterning has a major influence on the risk of developing chronic disease. Environmental influences on both body fat patterning and appetite regulation are not fully understood. This study was performed to investigate the impact

Where does the cranial base flexion take place in humans? [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 The modern human has the most flexed cranial base among all living animals. The flexure allowed a larger cranial volume to accommodate a greater brain. Spheno-occipitalis synchondrosis (SOS) has been largely responsible for cranial base flexion, between ...

Sensors, 2021 This study investigated the whole-body coordination patterning in successful and faulty spikes using self-organising map-based cluster analysis. Ten young, elite volleyball players (aged 15.5 ± 0.7 years) performed 60 volleyball spikes in a real-game ...

Coordination of wing and whole-body development at developmental milestones ensures robustness against environmental and physiological perturbations. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Development produces correctly patterned tissues under a wide range of conditions that alter the rate of development in the whole body. We propose two hypotheses through which tissue patterning could be coordinated with whole-body development to generate

Studying evolution of the primary body axis in vivo and in vitro
eLife, 2021 The metazoan body plan is established during early embryogenesis via collective cell rearrangements and evolutionarily conserved gene networks, as part of a process commonly referred to as gastrulation.
