- 1From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Mouse limb bud is a prime model to study the regulatory interactions that control vertebrate organogenesis. Major aspects of limb bud development are controlled by feedback loops that define a...
- 2From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Calpains are calcium regulated intracellular cysteine proteases implicated in a variety of physiological functions and pathological conditions. The Drosophila melanogaster genome contains only two genes,...
- 3From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The first distinct differentiation event in mammals occurs at the blastocyst stage when totipotent blastomeres differentiate into either pluripotent inner cell mass (ICM) or multipotent trophectoderm (TE)....
- 4From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Kunsuda Chomwisarutkun1 , Eduard Murani1 , Siriluck Ponsuksili2 and Klaus Wimmers1 Background The development of the mammary gland is initiated during fetal stage. In the pig, the first visible...
- 5From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Zebrafish has emerged as a powerful model organism to study the process of regeneration. This teleost fish has the ability to regenerate various tissues and organs like the heart, spinal cord, retina and...
- 6From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Members of the family Syngnathidae share a unique reproductive mode termed male pregnancy. Males carry eggs in specialised brooding structures for several weeks and release free-swimming offspring. Here we...
- 7From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Josh Sutherby1 , Jamie-Lee Giardini1 , Julia Nguyen1 , Gary Wessel2 , Mariana Leguia2,3 and Andreas Heyland1 Background Metamorphosis is a life history transition that is wide-spread in the animal...
- 8From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Multipotent stem cells have been successfully isolated from various tissues and are currently utilized for tissue-engineering and cell-based therapies. Among the many sources, skin has recently emerged as...
- 9From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Genetic studies in mouse have demonstrated the crucial function of PAX4 in pancreatic cell differentiation. This transcription factor specifies [beta]- and [delta]-cell fate at the expense of [alpha]-cell...
- 10From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Zien Zhou1 , Zachary DelProposto2 , Lianming Wu1,3 , Jianrong Xu1 , Jia Hua1 , Yan Zhou1 , Yongquan Ye3 , Zishu Zhang3 , Jiani Hu3 and E Mark Haacke3 Background Animal models play a central role and are...
- 11From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Germline stem cells (GSCs) are present in the gonads of Drosophila females and males, and their proper maintenance, as well as their correct differentiation, is essential for fertility and fecundity. The...
- 12From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Multicellularity in cellular slime molds is achieved by aggregation of several hundreds to thousands of cells. In the model slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, adenosine is known to increase the aggregate...
- 13From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Julia MI Barth1 , Ernst Hafen1 and Katja Köhler1 Background Autophagy is a tightly regulated, lysosomal degradation process occurring in all eukaryotic cells from yeast to mammals. Under normal...
- 14From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Because of the structural and molecular similarities between the two systems, the lateral line, a fish and amphibian specific sensory organ, has been widely used in zebrafish as a model to study the...
- 15From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Mammals are not able to restore lost appendages, while many amphibians are. One important question about epimorphic regeneration is related to the origin of the new tissues and whether they come from...
- 16From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Kangaroos and wallabies have specialised limbs that allow for their hopping mode of locomotion. The hindlimbs differentiate much later in development but become much larger than the forelimbs. The hindlimb...
- 17From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Emily T Shifley1 , Alan P Kenny2 , Scott A Rankin1 and Aaron M Zorn1 Background In the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) signaling pathway, secreted ligands bind to transmembrane tyrosine kinase FGF...
- 18From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Pundrik Jaiswal1 , Shashi Prakash Singh1 , Prasad Aiyar1 , Rakhil Akkali1 and Ramamurthy Baskar1 Background Cellular slime molds are unicellular, free living soil amoebae alternating its life cycle...
- 19From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Hox proteins are transcription factors involved in crucial processes during animal development. Their mode of action remains scantily documented. While other families of transcription factors, like Smad or...
- 20From: BMC Developmental Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Yuechi Xu1 , Zhuo A Wang2 , Rebekah S Green1 and Christopher M West1 Background Cells, whether free-living or residing within multicellular organisms, continuously monitor environmental O2 and integrate...
