Biophysical processes of morphogenesis in lizard lungs
Abstract Background The lungs of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are highly diverse, exhibiting single chambers, multiple chambers, transitional forms with two to three chambers, along with a suite of other anatomical features, including finger‐like epithelial projections into the body cavity known as diverticulae.

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

ABSTRACT Objective Eating‐disorder–specific functional impairment may represent a boundary condition for treatment response, yet this possibility has rarely been examined. We investigated whether baseline functional impairment constrains short‐term eating‐disorder symptom improvement, indexed by change in EDE‐Q Global scores during inpatient treatment ...
