The Enigmatic Reissner’s Fiber and the Origin of Chordates

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021
Reissner’s fiber (RF) is a secreted filament that floats in the neural canal of chordates. Since its discovery in 1860, there has been no agreement on its primary function, and its strong conservation across chordate species has remained a mystery for ...

Trend and burden of neural tube defects among cohort of pregnant women in Ethiopia: Where are we in the prevention and what is the way forward?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Introduction Neural tube defect is one of the top five most serious birth defects in the world. In Ethiopia an accurate estimate of the trend and burden of neural tube defects is still unknown.

Collective behavior and self-organization in neural rosette morphogenesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Neural rosettes develop from the self-organization of differentiating human pluripotent stem cells. This process mimics the emergence of the embryonic central nervous system primordium, i.e., the neural tube, whose formation is under close investigation ...

Junctional Neural Tube Defect [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2020
Junctional neurulation represents the most recent adjunct to the well-known sequential embryological processes of primary and secondary neurulation. While its exact molecular processes, occurring at the end of primary and the beginning of secondary neurulation, are still being actively investigated, its pathological counterpart -junctional neural tube ...

Review on regulatory role of morphogens in the formation of dorsal-ventral pattern of vertebrate neural tube

open access: yes浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2022
In vertebrates, the development of the central nervous system depends on the correct patterning of the neural tube along its anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes in the early embryo as well as the underlying regulation of the cell differentiation ...

A quest for genetic causes underlying signaling pathways associated with neural tube defects

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are serious congenital deformities of the nervous system that occur owing to the failure of normal neural tube closures. Genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to the etiology of neural tube defects in humans, indicating ...

A Novel Occulta-Type Spina Bifida Mediated by Murine Double Heterozygotes EphA2 and EphA4 Receptor Tyrosine Kinases

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2017
Members of the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase have previously been implicated in cranial neural tube development. Failure of neural tube closure leads to the devastating conditions known as anencephaly and spina bifida. EphA2 and EphA4 are expressed at the

Scratch2, a Snail Superfamily Member, Is Regulated by miR-125b

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Scratch2 is a transcription factor expressed in a very restricted population of vertebrate embryonic neural cell precursors involved in their survival, differentiation, and migration.

Demonstration of astrocytes in cultured amniotic fluid cells of three cases with neural-tube defect [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
We have investigated the origin of rapidly adhering (RA) cells in three cases of neural tube defects (two anencephali, one encephalocele). We were able to demonstrate the presence of glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein in variable percentages (4–80 ...

Hedgehog: A Key Signaling in the Development of the Oligodendrocyte Lineage

open access: yesJournal of Developmental Biology, 2016
The Hedgehog morphogen aroused an enormous interest since it was characterized as an essential signal for ventral patterning of the spinal cord two decades ago.
