While cell proliferation is an essential part of embryonic development, cells within an embryo
cannot proliferate freely. Instead, they must balance proliferation and other cellular events …

The vertebrate body forms from a multipotent stem cell-like progenitor population that
progressively contributes newly differentiated cells to the most posterior end of the embryo …

Chordates undergo a characteristic morphogenetic process during neurulation to form a
dorsal hollow neural tube. Neurulation begins with the formation of the neural plate and …

Deciphering the core machinery of the cell cycle and cell division has been primarily the
focus of cell biologists, while developmental biologists have identified the signaling …

Following fertilization, oviparous embryos undergo rapid, mostly transcriptionally silent
cleavage divisions until the mid-blastula transition (MBT), when large-scale developmental …

Following fertilization of many animal embryos, rapid synchronous cleavage divisions give
way to longer, asynchronous cell cycles at the midblastula transition (MBT). The cell cycle …

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a prevalent pollutant in the environment and has been
demonstrated to be a serious toxicant to humans and animals. However, little is known …

The slow growth rate of Haliotis midae impedes the optimal commercial production of this
most profitable South African aquaculture species. To date, no comprehensive effort has …

We have characterized mutations in the early arrest gene, harpy (hrp), and show that they
introduce premature stops in the coding region of early mitotic inhibitor1 (Rca1/emi1). In …

Hypoxia is a unique environmental stress. Hypoxia inducible factor-lα (HIF-lα) is a major
transcriptional regulator of cellular adaptations to hypoxic stress. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) as …
