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

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

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
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 ...

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 ...
