Wnt/β-catenin signaling is an evolutionarily conserved determinant of chordate dorsal organizer

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Deciphering the mechanisms of axis formation in amphioxus is a key step to understanding the evolution of chordate body plan. The current view is that Nodal signaling is the only factor promoting the dorsal axis specification in the amphioxus, whereas ...

Differential responses to Wnt and PCP disruption predict expression and developmental function of conserved and novel genes in a cnidarian. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
We have used Digital Gene Expression analysis to identify, without bilaterian bias, regulators of cnidarian embryonic patterning. Transcriptome comparison between un-manipulated Clytia early gastrula embryos and ones in which the key polarity regulator ...

Foxd4l1.1 Negatively Regulates Chordin Transcription in Neuroectoderm of Xenopus Gastrula

open access: yesCells, 2021
Inhibition of the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) is the primary step toward neuroectoderm formation in vertebrates. In this process, the Spemann organizer of the dorsal mesoderm plays a decisive role by secreting several extracellular BMP inhibitors ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Specification of germ layer identity in the chick gastrula [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Developmental Biology, 2007
Abstract Background Chick definitive endoderm is an important source of signals that pattern the early embryo forming a central structure around which the body plan is constructed. Although the origin of definitive endoderm has been mapped in the chick, arising principally from rostral streak at elongating streak stages,

Pre-gastrula expression of zebrafish extraembryonic genes [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Developmental Biology, 2010
Abstract Background Many species form extraembryonic tissues during embryogenesis, such as the placenta of humans and other viviparous mammals. Extraembryonic tissues have various roles in protecting, nourishing and patterning embryos.

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

open access: yesBiology, 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.

Calcium signaling in tunicate development

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

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

open access: yesScientific 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 ...
