eLife, 2021 During animal ontogenesis, body axis patterning is finely regulated by complex interactions among several signaling pathways. Nitric oxide (NO) and retinoic acid (RA) are potent morphogens that play a pivotal role in vertebrate development.

STUDY OF THE IMPACTS OF SOME DOMESTIC POLLUTANTS ON THE FREHWATER FISH COMMUNITY IN THE KLANG RIVER, MALAYSIA [PDF]
Earth Science Malaysia, 2017 This study was carried out to determine the effects of sewage pollution on the fish assemblages found in the Klang River. Samples were collected between July 2012 and April 2013 with a total of 102 specimens belonging to 5 freshwater fish species ...

Connexins evolved after early chordates lost innexin diversity
eLife, 2022 Gap junction channels are formed by two unrelated protein families. Non-chordates use the primordial innexins, while chordates use connexins that superseded the gap junction function of innexins.

Hemichordates' diffuse "skin brain" shows unexpected complexity.
PLoS Biology, 2023 Hemichordates are close relatives of chordates. Their nervous system patterning is chordate-like, but their neural architecture remains unexplored.

eLife, 2022 Gene regulatory networks coordinate the formation of organs and structures that compose the evolving body plans of different organisms. We are using a simple chordate model, the Ciona embryo, to investigate the essential gene regulatory network that ...

An organismal perspective on C. intestinalis development, origins and diversification
eLife, 2015 The ascidian Ciona intestinalis, commonly known as a ‘sea squirt’, has become an important model for embryological studies, offering a simple blueprint for chordate development.

Amphioxus as a model to study the evolution of development in chordates
eLife, 2023 Cephalochordates and tunicates represent the only two groups of invertebrate chordates, and extant cephalochordates – commonly known as amphioxus or lancelets – are considered the best proxy for the chordate ancestor, from which they split around 520 ...
