Understanding gene regulation during the development of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus using comparative transcriptomics

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Embryonic development, especially metamorphosis and settlement, has a major impact on the life history of marine invertebrates. Apostichopus japonicus is an economically important species of sea cucumber. In this study, we performed RNA sequencing on six

Single-cell transcriptome atlas of Drosophila gastrula 2.0

Cell Reports, 2023
During development, positional information directs cells to specific fates, leading them to differentiate with their own transcriptomes and express specific behaviors and functions. However, the mechanisms underlying these processes in a genome-wide view remain ambiguous, partly because the single-cell transcriptomic data of early developing embryos ...

Tissue Targeted Embryonic Chimeras: Zebrafish Gastrula Cell Transplantation [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2009
Certain fundamental questions in the field of developmental biology can only be answered when cells are placed in novel environments or when small groups of cells in a larger context are altered. Watching how one cell interacts with and behaves in a unique environment is essential to characterizing cell functions.

Nervous System Development and Neuropeptides Characterization in Embryo and Larva: Insights from a Non-Chordate Deuterostome, the Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Biology, 2022
Here, we described the complex nervous system at five early developmental stages (blastula, gastrula, auricularia, doliolaria and pentactula) of a holothurian species with highly economic value, Apostichopus japonicus.

HES and Mox genes are expressed during early mesoderm formation in a mollusk with putative ancestral features

Scientific Reports, 2021
The mesoderm is considered the youngest of the three germ layers. Although its morphogenesis has been studied in some metazoans, the molecular components underlying this process remain obscure for numerous phyla including the highly diverse Mollusca ...

Thyroid hormone membrane receptor binding and transcriptional regulation in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Thyroid hormones (THs) are small amino acid derived signaling molecules with broad physiological and developmental functions in animals. Specifically, their function in metamorphic development, ion regulation, angiogenesis and many others have been ...

Calcium signaling in tunicate development

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
A comparative overview is provided of Ca2+ signaling and its potential mechanistic roles during development in tunicates. As background, the review presents an introduction to tunicate taxonomy, and then a general overview of Ca2+ signaling and methods ...

Towards gene banking amphibian maternal germ lines: short-term incubation, cryoprotectant tolerance and cryopreservation of embryonic cells of the frog, Limnodynastes peronii.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Gene banking is arguably the best method available to prevent the loss of genetic diversity caused by declines in wild populations, when the causes of decline cannot be halted or reversed.

SILAC-based quantitative proteomic analysis of Drosophila gastrula stage embryos mutant for fibroblast growth factor signalling

Fly, 2020
Quantitative proteomic analyses in combination with genetics provide powerful tools in developmental cell signalling research. Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most widely used genetic models for studying development and disease.

Segregation of brain and organizer precursors is differentially regulated by Nodal signaling at blastula stage

Biology Open, 2021
The blastula Chordin- and Noggin-expressing (BCNE) center comprises animal-dorsal and marginal-dorsal cells of the amphibian blastula and contains the precursors of the brain and the gastrula organizer.
