Zebrafish The key to understanding vertebrate development and the origins of human birth defects may lie with the fishes--that is, with the zebrafishes (Danio rerio). Using zebrafish mutants produced ...

The development of limb muscle has been well studied in most land dwelling vertebrates such as humans and modern research models. In these species, muscle precursors, or cells that will form limb ...

During normal brain development in vertebrate embryos, the center of the neural tube fills with fluid to form a system of cavities, called brain ventricles.

Despite their name, which emphasizes their importance in skeletal development, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) control many key steps in the formation and differentiation of the vertebrate ...

University of Kentucky College of Medicine researchers were part of a new study that gives insight into how limb development evolved in vertebrates. The findings, published in Current Biology Oct. 4, ...

Because we're a member of the group, it's easy to see vertebrates as the pinnacle of evolution, a group capable of producing bats, birds, and giant whales in addition to ourselves.

Evolutionary relationships of the classes of vertebrates will be investigated through their anatomy. This course builds on concepts taught in Developmental Biology, providing more detailed analysis of ...

They also have the distinction of having split off from the rest of the vertebrate lineage very early on, about 550 million years ago, before the evolution of jaws.
