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 ...

Study revises the development, evolutionary origin of the vertebrate brain Date: April 28, 2017 Source: Center for Genomic Regulation Summary: Researchers have made the first detailed map of the ...

Scientists report finding some of the genetic processes that regulate vertebrate brain development in the acorn worm, a brainless, burrowing marine invertebrate.

University of Kentucky College of Medicine researchers were part of a new study that gives insight into how limb development evolved in vertebrates.

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. In the hindbrains of normal zebrafish ...

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 ...

Odd vertebrate gets rid of hundreds of genes early in development Mice silence these genes during development; sea lampreys just delete them.

Re-analysis of a fossil finds it’s from the earliest vertebrate branch A group of organisms called yunnanozoans had gills, precursor to jaws.

Catalog : BIOL.4840 Comparative Vertebrate Embryology Id: 040125 Credits Min: 3 Credits Max: 3 Description A comparative study of vertebrate embryological development focusing on the morphological ...

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 ...

Fifteen years ago, cell lineage restriction boundaries were discovered in the embryonic vertebrate hindbrain, subdividing it into a series of cell-tight compartments (known as rhombomeres ...
