Calcium fluxes in dorsal forerunner cells antagonize beta-catenin and alter left-right patterningIgor Schneider
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA
Development 135:75-84. 2008..As in zebrafish, manipulation of Ca(2+) release results in ectopic nuclear beta-catenin and altered laterality. Overall, our data support a conserved early Ca(2+) requirement in DFC-like cell function in zebrafish and Xenopus...
lessen encodes a zebrafish trap100 required for enteric nervous system developmentJacy Pietsch
Department of Biology, Emory University, Rollins Research Center, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA
Development 133:395-406. 2006..These studies demonstrate that lsn/trap100 is not required for initial steps of cranial neural crest development and migration, but is essential for later proliferation of ENS precursors in the intestine...
Endoderm-derived Sonic hedgehog and mesoderm Hand2 expression are required for enteric nervous system development in zebrafishBettina Reichenbach
Department of Developmental Biology, University of Freiburg, Biology I, Hauptstrasse 1, 79104 Freiburg, Germany
Dev Biol 318:52-64. 2008..Furthermore we show that endoderm and HH signaling, but not hand2, regulate gdnf expression in the intestine, highlighting a central role of endoderm and SHH in patterning the intestine and the ENS...
Early developmental specification of the thyroid gland depends on han-expressing surrounding tissue and on FGF signalsThomas Wendl
Institute for Developmental Biology, University of Cologne, Gyrhofstrasse 17, 50923 Koln, Germany
Development 134:2871-9. 2007..FGF-soaked beads can restore thyroid development in han mutants, showing that FGFs act downstream of or in parallel to han. These data suggest that loss of FGF-expressing tissue in han mutants is responsible for the thyroid defects...
