Heat shock response and shape regulation during newt tail regeneration
2018, Journal of Thermal BiologyCitation Excerpt :It was shown that although Xenopus leavis development can proceed in spaceflight and simulated microgravity, some transient morphological differences from normal embryos occur under such conditions (De Mazière et al., 1996; Neff et al., 1993; Souza et al., 1995; Ubbels, 1988; Ubbels et al., 1994). Simulated hypergravity led to axial bifurcation when applied at certain early stages (Black and Gerhart, 1986; Neff et al., 1990) and to transient morphological aberrations when applied at later ones (Neff et al., 1993). Pleurodeles waltl entered gravitational research with French, Russian and German experiments of the 1980-s; regeneration of its organs in space was studied at IDB RAS in Moscow (Anton et al., 1996; Grigoryan et al., 2008, 2006, 1998, 1992; Mitashov et al., 1996).
A mean field Ising model for cortical rotation in amphibian one-cell stage embryos
2012, BioSystemsCitation Excerpt :The number of linearly independent vector fields on a sphere is finite (Adams, 1962). Some of these topologies can be expected to be compatible with twins (Black and Gerhart, 1986) or even multiple embryos forming from one egg (as in armadillos: Section 1.03 in Gordon, 1999), and others might thereby correspond to arrested development. ( cf. Boryskina et al., 2011; Fleury and Gordon, 2012).
The role of maternal Activin-like signals in zebrafish embryos
2007, Developmental BiologyCitation Excerpt :This process is best understood in Xenopus. In frogs, determinants of the major axes are localized to the vegetal pole and are activated after fertilization (Black and Gerhart, 1986; Scharf and Gerhart, 1983). Rotation of the cortical cytoplasm during the first cell cycle transports components of the Wnt pathway, such as Disheveled and β-catenin, from the vegetal pole to the dorsal blastomeres (Miller et al., 1999; Rowning et al., 1997).
Effects of hypergravity environments on amphibian development, gene expression and apoptosis
2006, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - A Molecular and Integrative PhysiologyMechanical induction of Twist in the Drosophila foregut/stomodeal primordium
2003, Current BiologyCitation Excerpt :However, it is unclear how the forces required to artificially deform the embryo lead to embryonic epithelium stresses and strains that are related to endogenous forces and deformations present in the embryo during development. Importantly, the mechanical induction of Twist is independent of the maternal determinants of dorsal-ventral polarity [29]. Instead, I show that this induction depends on the nuclear translocation of Armadillo and its ability to activate transcription.
