A diploblastic radiate animal at the dawn of cambrian diversification with a simple body plan: distinct from Cnidaria? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Microfossils of the genus Punctatus include developmental stages such as blastula, gastrula, and hatchlings, and represent the most complete developmental sequence of animals available from the earliest Cambrian.

Fgf signalling triggers an intrinsic mesodermal timer that determines the duration of limb patterning

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Complex signalling between the apical ectodermal ridge (AER - a thickening of the distal epithelium) and the mesoderm controls limb patterning along the proximo-distal axis (humerus to digits).

Maternal and Embryonic Stress Influence Offspring Behavior in the Cuttlefish Sepia officinalis

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Stress experienced during prenatal development—either applied to reproducing females (maternal stress), directly to developing offspring (embryonic stress) or in combination—is associated with a range of post-natal behavioral effects in numerous ...

Cell patterning on photolithographically defined parylene-C:SiO2 substrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Cell patterning platforms support broad research goals, such as construction of predefined in vitro neuronal networks and the exploration of certain central aspects of cellular physiology.

Coordination of limb bud development : the role of SHH in PD limb bud patterning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The limb bud serves as an excellent model to investigate the signals involved in diverse processes during embryonic development. Limb bud development is controlled by complex regulatory networks that instruct coordinated patterning and proliferation of ...

ERK1/2 is an ancestral organising signal in spiral cleavage

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
How invertebrates with spiral cleavage establish their body plans is unclear. Here the authors show that, like molluscs, a basal annelid uses ERK1/2 to instruct body patterning, suggesting that this is a deep ancestral trait in animal embryogenesis.

Early patterning followed by tissue growth establishes distal identity in Drosophila Malpighian tubules

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Specification and elaboration of proximo-distal (P-D) axes for structures or tissues within a body occurs secondarily from that of the main axes of the body. Our understanding of the mechanism(s) that pattern P-D axes is limited to a few examples such as

Quantifying the Speed of Chromatophore Activity at the Single-Organ Level in Response to a Visual Startle Stimulus in Living, Intact Squid

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
The speed of adaptive body patterning in coleoid cephalopods is unmatched in the natural world. While the literature frequently reports their remarkable ability to change coloration significantly faster than other species, there is limited research on ...

Anterior-posterior gene expression differences in three Lake Malawi cichlid fishes with variation in body stripe orientation [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Morphological differentiation among closely related species provides opportunities to study mechanisms shaping natural phenotypic variation. Here, we address variation in the orientation of melanin-colored body stripes in three cichlid species of the ...

Prediction of total body water in infants and children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background: In paediatric clinical practice treatment is often adjusted in relation to body size, for example the calculation of pharmacological and dialysis dosages. In addition to use of body weight, for some purposes total body water (TBW) and surface
