Fixation Induces Mislocalization of Thin Filament Components in Caenorhabditis elegans Striated Muscle

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The simple nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has long served as a powerful genetic model system for studying muscle structure and function, with sarcomeres of the striated body wall muscle (BWM) that are considered largely homologous to those in vertebrates.

Successful Translational Prediction of Bedaquiline's Phase 2a Clinical Trial Results against Tuberculosis: The Zebrafish as a New Approach Methodology

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Tuberculosis remains an urgent global health crisis that requires an accelerated development of novel regimens. Rodent and rabbit studies currently inform early translational predictions. However, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo/larva, as a New Approach Methodology, provides an ethical, cost‐effective, and high‐throughput non‐mammalian disease model

Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

The β integrin modulates serotonin sensitivity via NPxY motifs to regulate egg laying and mechanosensation behaviors in Caenorhabditis elegans

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Integrin is an αβ heterodimeric receptor to the extracellular matrix; its binding to the matrix recruits focal adhesions to two NPxY motifs, the tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the cytoplasmic domain. Studies found that replacing tyrosines (Y) with phenylalanines (F) in the motif of β1 integrin displayed little developmental or ...

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
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 ...
