A Wnt signaling pathway controls Hox gene expression and neuroblast migration in C. elegansDevelopment (Cambridge) - Tập 126 Số 1 - Trang 37-49 - 1999
Julin Maloof, Jennifer Whangbo, Jeanne M. Harris, Gregg D. Jongeward, Cynthia Kenyon
ABSTRACT
The specification of body pattern along the anteroposterior (A/P) body axis is achieved largely by the actions of conserved clusters of Hox genes. Limiting expression of these genes to localized regional domains and controlling the precise patterns of expression within those domains is critically important for normal patterning. Here we repo...... hiện toàn bộ
unc-53controls longitudinal migration inC. elegansDevelopment (Cambridge) - Tập 129 Số 14 - Trang 3367-3379 - 2002

Cell migration and outgrowth are thought to be based on analogous mechanisms that require repeated cycles of process extension, reading and integration of multiple directional signals, followed by stabilisation in a preferred direction, and renewed extension. We have characterised a C. elegans gene, unc-53, that appears to act cell autonomously in the migration and outgrowth of muscles, ax...... hiện toàn bộ
The BMP antagonist Gremlin regulates outgrowth, chondrogenesis and programmed cell death in the developing limbDevelopment (Cambridge) - Tập 126 Số 23 - Trang 5515-5522 - 1999
Ramón Merino, Joaquín Rodríguez‐León, D. Macías, Y. Gañán, Aris N. Economides, Juan M. Hurlé
Abstract
In this study, we have analyzed the expression and function of Gremlin in the developing avian limb. Gremlin is a member of the DAN family of BMP antagonists highly conserved through evolution able to bind and block BMP2, BMP4 and BMP7. At early stages of development, gremlin is expressed in the dorsal and ventral mesoderm in a pattern compl...... hiện toàn bộ
Antibodies against mouse nerve growth factor interfere in vivo with the development of avian sensory and sympathetic neuronesDevelopment (Cambridge) - Tập 103 Số 3 - Trang 545-552 - 1988

Abstract
The monoclonal antibody 27/21 directed against mouse nerve growth factor (NGF) interferes in vivo with the survival of sensory dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurones during the development of the quail embryo: the number of DRG neurones at embryonic day 11 (Ell) was reduced by about 30 % in embryos treated with the antibody between E3 and Ell. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors in the developing inner ear of chick and ratDevelopment (Cambridge) - Tập 113 Số 2 - Trang 455-470 - 1991
Christopher S. von Bartheld, Susan L. Patterson, Josef G. Heuer, Esther F. Wheeler, Mark Bothwell, Edwin W. Rubel
ABSTRACT
The expression of nerve growth factor receptors (NGFRs) was studied in the developing inner ear with in situ hybridization in chick embryos and with immunocytochemistry in rat embryos to determine sites of possible functions of NGF or NGF-like molecules in inner ear development. NGFR expression in the chick otocyst and acoustic ganglion is c...... hiện toàn bộ
Activity and expression pattern of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 in the embryonic mouse nervous systemDevelopment (Cambridge) - Tập 119 Số 4 - Trang 1029-1040 - 1993

ABSTRACT
Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5) was originally isolated on the basis of its close primary sequence homology to the human cdc2 serine/threonine kinase, the prototype of the cyclin-dependent kinases. While kinase activities of both cdc2 and cdk2 are detected in proliferating cells and are essential for cells to progress through the key transi...... hiện toàn bộ
Specification of the vertebrate eye by a network of eye field transcription factorsDevelopment (Cambridge) - Tập 130 Số 21 - Trang 5155-5167 - 2003
Michael E. Zuber, Gaia Gestri, Andrea S. Viczian, Giuseppina Barsacchi, William A. Harris
Several eye-field transcription factors (EFTFs) are expressed in the anterior region of the vertebrate neural plate and are essential for eye formation. The Xenopus EFTFs ET, Rx1, Pax6, Six3, Lhx2, tlland Optx2 are expressed in a dynamic, overlapping pattern in the presumptive eye field. Expression of an EFTF cocktail with Otx2 is sufficient to induce ectopic eyes outside the nervous syste...... hiện toàn bộ
Actomyosin networks and tissue morphogenesisDevelopment (Cambridge) - Tập 141 Số 9 - Trang 1789-1793 - 2014
Akankshi Munjal, Thomas Lecuit
Tissue morphogenesis is driven by coordinated cellular deformations. Recent studies have shown that these changes in cell shape are powered by intracellular contractile networks comprising actin filaments, actin cross-linkers and myosin motors. The subcellular forces generated by such actomyosin networks are precisely regulated and are transmitted to the cell cortex of adjacent cells and t...... hiện toàn bộ
Wnt5ais required for proper epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in the uterusDevelopment (Cambridge) - Tập 131 Số 9 - Trang 2061-2072 - 2004
Mathias Mericskay, Jan Kitajewski, David Sassoon
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions play a crucial role in the correct patterning of the mammalian female reproductive tract (FRT). Three members of the Wnt family of growth factors are expressed at high levels in the developing FRT in the mouse embryo. The expression of Wnt genes is maintained in the adult FRT, although levels fluctuate during estrous. Wnt4 is required for Müllerian duct...... hiện toàn bộ
