Fgfr signaling is required as the early eye field forms to promote later patterning and morphogenesis of the eye

K Atkinson‐Leadbeater, CL Hehr… - Developmental …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Background: A major step in eye morphogenesis is the transition from optic vesicle to optic
cup, which occurs as a ventral groove forms along the base of the optic vesicle. A ventral …

An analysis of FGF-regulated genes during Xenopus neural development

H Brunsdon - 2015 - etheses.whiterose.ac.uk
FGF signalling is pivotal in early vertebrate development and is involved in cell movements,
germ layer induction and organogenesis. There is also evidence of an important role of FGF …

Zebrafish Eye Development: Rac and the Creepy Crawlers of the Eye

Z Murry - 2020 - digscholarship.unco.edu
During vertebrate eye development the optic vesicles protrude from either side of the brain
and form the optic cups. As an optic cup starts to surround the lens a groove on the ventral …

The Role of Fibroblast Growth Factors in Visual System Development

KP Atkinson-Leadbeater - 2010 - library-archives.canada.ca
In this thesis I explored two key roles for the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of proteins
in visual system development in the frog,'Xenopus laevis'. First, in early development, FGFs …
