Rapid generation of single-insertion #transgenics by #Tol2 transposition in #zebrafish. This study describes modifications to Tol2-mediated transgenesis that facilitates the generation of multiple independent single-insertion F1 transgenic lines doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7…

The #spinalcord sends motor commands and relays #sensory information between the #brain and body. A new #gene expression screen in #zebrafish identified novel #transcription factors and #regulatory networks of #neural #circuitry and spinal cord function. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7…

#Arthropods, #annelids and #chordates all possess segments, the #evolution of which facilitated the generation of repeat #anatomical units. Learn how #segmentation in #tapeworms may have originated in the #muscular system. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7…

#Obesity affects nearly 1 in every 8 #humans and is a major risk factor for human #diseases. This review describes the mechanisms governing #adipose development, distribution and function, and the conversion of white into beige adipose #tissue. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7…

#Polycystic ovary syndrome (#PCOS) is an #endocrine disorder of the reproductive system, which affects #fertility. Learn how gap junction channels impact #folliculogenesis, #oocyte growth and maturation in the #ovary, and how dysfunction causes PCOS doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7…

During #embryogenesis, the #heart rate of an organism increases with ontogenetic maturation and #sinoatrial node cells are considered the #pacemaker cells. This study provides insights into the mechanisms of heart rate acceleration and design of pacemakers doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7…

The #retina develops from a pool of retinal #progenitor cells into six #neuronal and one #glial cell type whose cell bodies are organized within three nuclear layers. Reduced #mTORC1-signaling in progenitor cells leads to retinal lamination deficits. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7…

Thank you to Dr Angelo Iulianella for a fantastic presentation and journey through formation of the cerebral cortex and cerebellum, highlighting different types of neuronal migration, and the importance of neuronal cytoarchitecture in brain development and neurological disorders.

Join us Today Oct 30 at 12pm ET for the next "Inspiring Scientific Curiosity and Discovery" webinar. Dr Angelo Iulianela will discuss “NEURONS ON THE MOVE: HOW NEURONAL MIGRATION SHAPES BRAIN ANATOMY DURING DEVELOPMENT” Registration is free: anatomy.org/ANATOMY/ANATOM…

#Craniofacial Development: Variants in #ALX4 have been associated with parietal foramina and frontonasal dysplasia with #alopecia in humans. Learn how Alx4 is crucial for craniofacial development, #hair growth and #regeneration doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7…

#Blood Development: In this study, the authors generated epoa-deficient #zebrafish as a model of Diamond–Blackfan #anemia like (DBAL), which occurs in humans in association with recessive loss-of-function mutations in #EPO. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7…
