40LoVe and Samba are involved in Xenopusneural development and functionally distinct from hnRNP AB
(2014)Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) comprise a large group of modular RNA-binding proteins classified according to their conserved domains. This modular nature, coupled with a large choice of alternative ...

Calpain2 protease: A new member of the Wnt/Ca2+ pathway modulating convergent extension movements in Xenopus
(2013)Calpains are a family of calcium-dependent intracellular cysteine proteases that regulate several physiological processes by limited cleavage of different substrates. The role of Calpain2 in embryogenesis is not clear with ...

Ectopic expression of individual E(spl) genes has differential effects on different cell fate decisions and underscores the biphasic requirement for Notch activity in wing margin establishment in Drosophila
(1999)A common consequence of Notch signalling in Drosophila is the transcriptional activation of seven Enhancer of split [E(spl)] genes, which encode a family of closely related basic-helix-loop-helix transcriptional repressors. ...

Ets2 is necessary in trophoblast for normal embryonic anteroposterior axis development
(2006)Although the trophoblast is necessary for the growth, viability and patterning of the mammalian embryo, understanding of its patterning role is still rudimentary. Expression of the transcription factor Ets2 is restricted ...

In vivo imaging of quantum dots encapsulated in phospholipid micelles
(2002)Fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) have the potential to revolutionize biological imaging, but their use has been limited by difficulties in obtaining nanocrystals that are biocompatible. To address this ...

Parental origin-specific developmental defects in mice with uniparental disomy for chromosome 12
(2000)Genetic analysis has shown that the distal portion of mouse chromosome 12 is imprinted

Regulation of retinoid X receptor-γ gene transcript levels in rat heart cells
(1998)Retinoid X receptor-γ (RXRγ) is a transcription factor that mediates retinoid signalling and is expressed in rat heart during adult life. However, its expression in embryonic and neonatal heart has not been investigated ...

Retinoid X receptor-γ gene expression is developmentally regulated in the embryonic rodent peripheral nervous system
(1998)The retinoid X receptor-γ (RXRγ) is a transcription factor that belongs to the thyroid hormone/retinoid family of nuclear receptors. Previous studies have shown that RXRγ is expressed in the developing peripheral nervous ...

Roles for genomic imprinting and the zygotic genome in placental development
(2001)The placenta contains several types of fetomaternal interfaces where zygote-derived cells interact with maternal cells or maternal blood for the promotion of fetal growth and viability. The genetic factors regulating the ...

A serum-free and defined medium for the culture of mammalian postimplantation embryos
(2015)Whole embryo culture (WEC) of postimplantation rodent embryos is widely used for the study of mammalian embryogenesis and developmental toxicity testing. Its major advantage is that it allows direct access to embryos for ...
