Conserved mechanisms regulate outgrowth in zebrafish finsM Kathryn Iovine
Lehigh University Department of Biological Sciences, 111 Research Drive, Iacocca B217, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015, USA
Nat Chem Biol 3:613-8. 2007..Future perspectives describe opportunities using the zebrafish fin to reveal mechanisms underlying the regulation of final size...
Mutations in connexin43 (GJA1) perturb bone growth in zebrafish finsM Kathryn Iovine
Lehigh University, 111 Research Drive, Iacocca B 217, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA
Dev Biol 278:208-19. 2005....
Cx23, a connexin with only four extracellular-loop cysteines, forms functional gap junction channels and hemichannelsM Kathryn Iovine
Department of Biological Sciences, Lehigh University, 111 Research Drive, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA
FEBS Lett 582:165-70. 2008..Functional assays reveal that the Cx23 gap junctions are capable of sharing neurobiotin, and further, that Cx23 connexins form hemichannels in vitro...
Cx40.8, a Cx43-like protein, forms gap junction channels inefficiently and may require Cx43 for its association at the plasma membraneSarah V Gerhart
Lehigh University, Department of Biological Sciences, 111 Research Drive, Iacocca B 217, Bethlehem, PA 18015, United States
FEBS Lett 583:3419-24. 2009..Together, these data suggest the possibility that Cx40.8 may functionally interact with Cx43 to regulate cell proliferation in vivo...
Connexin43 regulates joint location in zebrafish finsKenneth Sims
Lehigh University, Department of Biological Sciences, 111 Research Drive, Iacocca B 217, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA
Dev Biol 327:410-8. 2009..One possibility is that communication between the Cx43-positive mesenchyme and the overlying ZNS5-positive cells regulates joint location, and upregulation of Cx43 in joint-forming cells contributes to joint morphogenesis...
Zebrafish short fin mutations in connexin43 lead to aberrant gap junctional intercellular communicationAngela D Hoptak-Solga
Lehigh University, Department of Biological Sciences, Iacocca B 217, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA
FEBS Lett 581:3297-302. 2007..Therefore, measurable differences in Cx43 function may be correlated with the severity of defects in bone length...
Connexin43 (GJA1) is required in the population of dividing cells during fin regenerationAngela D Hoptak-Solga
Lehigh University, Department of Biological Sciences, 111 Research Drive, Iacocca B 217, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA
Dev Biol 317:541-8. 2008..We hypothesize that the level of gap junctional intercellular communication among dividing cells regulates the level of cell proliferation and ultimately regulates bone growth...
Fin-mutant female zebrafish (Danio rerio) exhibit differences in association preferences for male fin lengthJennifer M Gumm
Department of Biological Sciences, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA
Behav Processes 80:35-8. 2009..These results suggest that the single gene long fin mutation that results in altered fin morphological may also be involved in a related female association preference...
Osteoblast maturation occurs in overlapping proximal-distal compartments during fin regeneration in zebrafishAndrew M Brown
Lehigh University, Department of Biological Science, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015, USA
Dev Dyn 238:2922-8. 2009....
Bone growth in zebrafish fins occurs via multiple pulses of cell proliferationIsha Jain
Lehigh University, Department of Biological Sciences, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015, USA
Dev Dyn 236:2668-74. 2007..These results indicate that segment lengthening requires multiple pulses of cell proliferation...
Phylogenetic analysis of three complete gap junction gene families reveals lineage-specific duplications and highly supported gene classesStephen D Eastman
Department of Biological Sciences, Lehigh University, 111 Research Drive, Iacocca B-217, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA
Genomics 87:265-74. 2006..The identification of a third complete connexin gene family provides novel insight into the evolution of connexins, and sheds light into the phenotypic evolution of intercellular communication via gap junctions...
A developmental transition in growth control during zebrafish caudal fin developmentMatthew I Goldsmith
Department of Pediatrics, Washington University School of Medicine, 660 S Euclid Avenue, Campus Box 8208, St Louis, MO 63110, USA
Dev Biol 296:450-7. 2006....
A genetic, deletion, physical, and human homology map of the long fin region on zebrafish linkage group 2M Kathryn Iovine
Genomics 79:756-9. 2002....
