Stage‐Specific H3K14 and H3K23 Succinylation Orchestrates Insect Metamorphosis and Oogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Stage‐specific succinylation of histone H3 at lysine 14 and 23 differentially controls insect metamorphosis and oogenesis through distinct GPCR‐PKC signaling cascades, revealing an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic mechanism that coordinates key life‐history traits.

The presence of predators constrains larval development process by influencing critical developmental windows in the endangered Chinhai spiny newt

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Predators significantly impact the development process and subsequently influence the metamorphic decisions of amphibian larvae. Larvae often exhibit induced growth and metamorphic plasticity in response to the presence of predators.

Morphological and functional modifications of the gastrointestinal tract during metamorphosis in Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Metamorphosis in flatfish is the transition from a symmetrical larva to an asymmetrical juvenile stage, allowing the organism to utilize new resources in a different habitat and thus providing an evolutionary advantage.

NFYB Integrates Hormonal Signals into Tissue Allometry by Promoting Protein Biosynthesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In the American cockroach, NFYB acts as a spatiotemporin that translates distinct hormonal cues into tissue‐specific allometry. Juvenile hormone activates NFYB in the early fat body, while 20‐hydroxyecdysone induces it in late wing pads. NFYB then promotes protein biosynthesis via core translational machinery, driving differential growth across the ...

The use of chemical and biological settlement cues in enhancing the larval settlement of abalone (Haliotis midae): Implications for hatcheries and ocean ranching

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, 2023
Reducing the time to settlement and metamorphosis of abalone larvae is critical for ensuring that abalone larvae settle within the seeding site for ocean ranching or to increase production in hatcheries.

Neurohormonal Regulation of Metamorphosis in Decapod Crustaceans

open access: yes, 2018
Crustaceans are a subphylum of arthropods that comprise a diverse group of species classified into six classes. We will focus on the commercially important order Decapoda which includes crabs, crayfishes, krill, lobsters, prawns and shrimps.

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

Molecular Mechanisms of Transcription Activation by Juvenile Hormone: A Critical Role for bHLH-PAS and Nuclear Receptor Proteins

open access: yesInsects, 2012
Juvenile hormone (JH) is responsible for controlling many biological processes. In several insect species JH has been implicated as a key regulator of developmental timing, preventing the premature onset of metamorphosis during larval growth periods ...

Modern competency‐based teaching of human sexual development

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Embryology is an integral part of anatomy and a key subject in basic medical education. The development of the sexual tract, which is closely associated with the formation of the urinary tract and the organs of continence, is particularly complex and relevant for many medical disciplines.
