The major antiepileptic drugs used for the control of seizures can induce developmental
toxicity when administered during pregnancy. Vitamin A and retinoids are thought to control …

Formation of the left/right body axis is a critical early step in embryogenesis. The heart loop
is one of the first clearly recognizable morphological asymmetries, and the molecular …

Expression of vertebrate Hox genes is regulated by retinoids in cell culture and in early
embryonic development. We have identified a 185-bp retinoid-responsive transcriptional …

We have analyzed the expression pattern of c-erbAα and c-erbAβ which encode the thyroid
hormone receptors (T3Rα and T3Rβ) during early chicken embryogenesis. Only c-erbAα …

In this review I summarize recent findings on the contributions of different cell groups to the
formation of the basic plan of the nervous system of vertebrate embryos. Midline cells of the …

Retinoic acid, an oxidative metabolite of vitamin A, is involved in the control of many
biological processes including embryonic development. Excess as well as deficiency of …

Retinoic acid (RA) is a central regulatory signal that controls numerous developmental
processes in vertebrate embryos. Although activation of Hox expression is considered one …

Hox genes are developmentally regulated in mammalian embryogenetics, according to
temporally and spatially restricted patterns which are affected by retinoids, vitamin A …

Conventional culture systems are often limited in their ability to regulate the growth and
differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. Microfluidic systems can overcome some of these …

The cDNAs encoding the zebrafish homologs of retinoic acid receptor α (zRARα) and γ
(zRARγ) were isolated and their expression studied in normal and retinoic acid (RA) treated …
