Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Zebrafish Gastrulation

open access: yesAnnual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology
The primordial body architecture of vertebrates is established during gastrulation, a critical period of development characterized by the emergence of the three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) and the formation of an embryo with clearly identifiable dorso-ventral and anterior-posterior axes.

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Bi-modal strategy of gastrulation in reptiles

open access: yes, 2016
[Background]: Amniote gastrulation is often described with respect to human, mouse and chick development by the presence of the primitive streak, a posterior-to-anterior midline morphological cell ingression feature that has come to define Amniote ...

The Embryonic Development of the Cotylean Polyclad Phrikoceros jannetae

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyclads exhibit distinct developmental modes ranging from direct to indirect development, with several transitional stages also recognised. The existence of an indirect developmental mode in polyclads with a planktonic life history stage in the form of a free‐swimming larva is unique among all free‐living flatworms and makes polyclads a ...

Phosphorylation of BigH1 regulates its expression pattern and promotes embryonic development

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phosphorylation is a key regulator of the linker histone variant BigH1 during Drosophila embryogenesis. We reveal that N‐terminal phosphorylation promotes the timely removal of BigH1 from chromatin. In contrast, C‐terminal phosphorylation supports early nuclear divisions and embryonic viability.

Embryonic and larval development of the endangered Chiapas killifish Tlaloc hildebrandi (Cyprinodontiformes: Profundulidae)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The early ontogeny of endemic freshwater fishes provides essential baseline biological information for conservation and management, particularly in species with restricted distributions and high vulnerability to habitat degradation, environmental change and population decline. This study presents the first detailed description of embryonic and

Stem Cell Differentiation Disperses Transcriptional Clusters via a Conserved Surface‐Condensate Trajectory

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
Stem cell differentiation follows a conserved surface condensate trajectory: H3K27ac super enhancers nucleate large RNA polymerase II clusters that grow and unfold before transcriptional activity disperses them. This work reveals how biophysical forces at enhancer surfaces dynamically build and dismantle stem cell transcription hubs, reshaping cell ...

Gastrulation and pre-gastrulation morphogenesis, inductions, and gene expression: Similarities and dissimilarities between urodelean and anuran embryos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Studies of meso-endoderm and neural induction and subsequent body plan formation have been analyzed using mainly amphibians as the experimental model.

Allosteric Inhibition of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 by an EZH2‐Selective Small Molecule Inhibitor

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
The study characterizes C36, a highly selective EZH2/PRC2 inhibitor that acts via a novel allosteric mechanism. Unlike previous inhibitors, C36 inhibits EZH2/PRC2 by disrupting the allosteric communication between EZH2 and EED in a SAM‐noncompetitive manner.
