Lineage Differentiation Markers as a Proxy for Embryo Viability in Farm Ungulates
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Embryonic losses constitute a major burden for reproductive efficiency of farm animals. Pregnancy losses in ungulate species, which include cattle, pigs, sheep and goats, majorly occur during the second week of gestation, when the embryo experiences a ...

Periostin as a Biomarker of the Amniotic Membrane
Stem Cells International, 2012 Tracing the precise developmental origin of amnion and amnion-derived stem cells is still challenging and depends chiefly on analyzing powerful genetic model amniotes like mouse. Profound understanding of the fundamental differences in amnion development

Oncopeltus fasciatus zen is essential for serosal tissue function in katatrepsis [PDF]
, 2006 Unlike most Hox cluster genes, with their canonical role in anterior–posterior patterning of the embryo, the Hox3 orthologue of insects has diverged. Here, we investigate the zen orthologue in Oncopeltus fasciatus (Hemiptera:Heteroptera).

Ancient expansion of the Hox cluster in Lepidoptera generated four homeobox genes implicated in extra-embryonic tissue formation [PDF]
, 2014 Gene duplications within the conserved Hox cluster are rare in animal evolution, but in Lepidoptera an array of divergent Hox-related genes (Shx genes) has been reported between pb and zen.

Distribution of O-Acetylated Sialic Acids among Target Host Tissues for Influenza Virus. [PDF]
, 2017 Sialic acids (Sias) are important glycans displayed on the cells and tissues of many different animals and are frequent targets for binding and modification by pathogens, including influenza viruses.

A system to enrich for primitive streak-derivatives, definitive endoderm and mesoderm, from pluripotent cells in culture [PDF]
, 2012 Two lineages of endoderm develop during mammalian embryogenesis, the primitive endoderm in the pre-implantation blastocyst and the definitive endoderm at gastrulation.
