Molecular Characterization of HOXA2 and HOXA3 Binding Properties
The highly conserved HOX homeodomain (HD) transcription factors (TFs) establish the identity of different body parts along the antero–posterior axis of bilaterian animals.

Caldesmon regulates actin dynamics to influence cranial neural crest migration in Xenopus [PDF]
Caldesmon (CaD) is an important actin modulator that associates with actin filaments to regulate cell morphology and motility. Although extensively studied in cultured cells, there is little functional information regarding the role of CaD in migrating ...

The occipital lateral plate mesoderm is a novel source for vertebrate neck musculature [PDF]
In vertebrates, body musculature originates from somites, whereas head muscles originate from the cranial mesoderm. Neck muscles are located in the transition between these regions.

Fate mapping identifies the origin of SHF/AHF progenitors in the chick primitive streak [PDF]
Heart development depends on the spatio-temporally regulated contribution of progenitor cells from the primary, secondary and anterior heart fields. Primary heart field (PHF) cells are first recruited to form a linear heart tube; later, they contribute ...

A novel spalt gene expressed in branchial arches affects the ability of cranial neural crest cells to populate sensory ganglia [PDF]
Cranial neural crest cells differentiate into diverse derivatives including neurons and glia of the cranial ganglia, and cartilage and bone of the facial skeleton.

Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the evolution of form and function in the amniote jaw. [PDF]
The amniote jaw complex is a remarkable amalgamation of derivatives from distinct embryonic cell lineages. During development, the cells in these lineages experience concerted movements, migrations, and signaling interactions that take them from their ...

Ocular Manifestations Of Goldenhar Syndrome; At A Glance
Goldenhar syndrome (oculo-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia, OAVS) is a rare, congenital disease with an incidence of 1:3500 and 1:5600. It occurs due to abnormal development of the first and second branchial arches.
