SoxE genes and the role of neural crest in cartilage evolution and development
Meeting Abstract 21.3 Tuesday, Jan. 4 SoxE genes and the role of neural crest in cartilage evolution and development MCCAULEY, David W; University of Oklahoma dwmccauley@ou.edu Neural crest cells give rise to many vertebrate-specific structures. These cells arise during development along the dorsal aspect of the neural tube, undergo an epithelial to mesenchymal transition whereupon they migrate […]
Molecular and morphological development of the shark head cavity
Meeting Abstract 21.2 Tuesday, Jan. 4 Molecular and morphological development of the shark head cavity ADACHI, Noritaka*; KURATANI, Shigeru; RIKEN CDB Kobe; RIKEN CDB Kobe adasaurus@cdb.riken.jp The vertebrate head is considered as an evolutionary novelty. However, the head mesoderm is regarded a derivative of anterior somites in the ancestral chordate. Although, our head mesoderm consists of mesenchymal […]
