Sea lampreys are a vertebrate model of interest for the study of spontaneous axon regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI). Axon regeneration research in lampreys has focused on the study of giant descending neurons, but less so on neurochemically ...

Expression of Kisspeptin 1 in the Brain of the Adult Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus
Kisspeptin peptides play major roles in the regulation of reproduction and puberty onset in mammals. While most mammals only have one kisspeptin gene, other jawed vertebrates present two or three genes. Recent data also revealed the presence of two genes

Neuronal Control of Swimming Behavior: Comparison of Vertebrate and Invertebrate Model Systems [PDF]
Swimming movements in the leech and lamprey are highly analogous, and lack homology. Thus, similarities in mechanisms must arise from convergent evolution rather than from common ancestry.

Demography of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) ammocoete populations in relation to potential spawning-migration obstructions [PDF]
Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Recent advances in the understanding of lamprey migrations have led to concerns over the impacts of obstructions on the demography of many species. This study investigated sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) larvae

The Interrelationship of Estrogen Receptor and GnRH in a Basal Vertebrate, the Sea Lamprey
The hypothalamic-pituitary system is considered to be a vertebrate innovation and seminal event that emerged prior to or during the differentiation of the ancestral agnathans.

The Spinobulbar System in Lamprey [PDF]
Locomotor networks in the spinal cord are controlled by descending systems which in turn receive feedback signals from ascending systems about the state of the locomotor networks.

Ukrainian names of lampreys and fishes of the fauna of Ukraine
The Ukrainian vernacular names of species, also higher taxonomic ranges, of lampreys and fishes of Ukrainian fauna are discussed and listed in the study. The new list of the scientific names in Latin is presented taking into account the current taxonomic

Evolution of the bile salt nuclear receptor FXR in vertebrates*s⃞
Bile salts, the major end metabolites of cholesterol, vary significantly in structure across vertebrate species, suggesting that nuclear receptors binding these molecules may show adaptive evolutionary changes.

Generation of Lamprey Monoclonal Antibodies (Lampribodies) Using the Phage Display System. [PDF]
The variable lymphocyte receptors (VLRs) consist of leucine rich repeats (LRRs) and comprise the humoral antibodies produced by lampreys and hagfishes.
