Cell-Autonomous Ca2+ Flashes Elicit Pulsed Contractions of an Apical Actin Network to Drive Apical Constriction during Neural Tube Closure

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Neurulation is a critical period in all vertebrates and results in the formation of the neural tube, which gives rise to the CNS. Apical constriction is one of the fundamental morphogenetic movements that drives neural tube closure.

Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 4, Page 1531-1546, 15 February 2026.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...

Calcium signaling in tunicate development

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
A comparative overview is provided of Ca2+ signaling and its potential mechanistic roles during development in tunicates. As background, the review presents an introduction to tunicate taxonomy, and then a general overview of Ca2+ signaling and methods ...

Actin Distribution in Lamina Neuralis During Cranial Neurulation of Wistar Rats Embryo (Rattus rattus)

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2008
such as craniorachisis and exencephaly. One of the processes is changing in lamina neuralis cells shape, which is caused by actin microfilament rearrangement within lamina neuralis cells.

Organ‐Specific Histopathological Effects of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure: A Narrative Review

open access: yesCongenital Anomalies, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT The role of alcohol‐induced epigenetic modifications that predispose the fetus to metabolic dysregulation, increased susceptibility to future substance use, and long‐term behavioral and cognitive impairments has received increasing attention.

Distribution of tissue progenitors within the shield region of the zebrafish gastrula [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The zebrafish has emerged as an important model system for the experimental analysis of vertebrate development because it is amenable to genetic analysis and because its optical clarity allows the movements and the differentiation of individual cells to ...

Perturbed synaptic adhesion molecules signaling in neurodevelopmental disorders: The impact of metal neurotoxicity

open access: yesIbrain, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 403-421, Winter 2025.
Synaptic adhesion molecules (SAM) are essential for the formation, maturation, function, plasticity, and assembly of synaptic connections, all critical for normal neurodevelopment. Excessive exposure to neurotoxic metals during development could disrupt the developing brain and potentially lead to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).

Planar polarization of Vangl2 in the vertebrate neural plate is controlled by Wnt and Myosin II signaling

open access: yesBiology Open, 2015
The vertebrate neural tube forms as a result of complex morphogenetic movements, which require the functions of several core planar cell polarity (PCP) proteins, including Vangl2 and Prickle.

The emerging roles of ribosome biogenesis in craniofacial development. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Neural crest cells (NCCs) are a transient, migratory cell population, which originates during neurulation at the neural folds and contributes to the majority of tissues, including the mesenchymal structures of the craniofacial skeleton.
