In recent years, nonclassical models have emerged as mainstays for studies of evolutionary,
developmental, and regenerative biology. Genomic advances have promoted the use of
alternative taxa for the study of developmental biology, and the shark is one such emerging
model vertebrate. Our research utilizes the embryonic shark (Scyliorhinus canicula) to
characterize key developmental and regenerative processes that have been overlooked or
not possible to study with more classic developmental models. Tooth development is a …
