#Embryo development in the #bonnethead (Sphyrna tiburo), a #viviparous #hammerhead #shark . A staging series for one of the smallest hammerhead species will serve as basis for future evolution and development comparisons across #chondrichthyan fishes. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

Why do some marine #invertebrate organisms not develop #cancer ? Learn how #p53 / #p63 / #p73 are important for cell #differentiation , while #Myc influences #morphology , but not via #oncogene regulation or #apoptotic pathways during sea urchin embryogenesis. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

#Vertebrae are a defining character of #vertebrates but can be found in rudimentary form in extant #agnathans , such as # #lamprey . This study reveals the developmental process of lamprey vertebra is different from that of gnathostomes. JSDB #JSPS doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

The primordia of the #male and #female reproductive tracts are sexually dimorphic and derived the #Wolffian duct and the #Müllerian duct, respectively. Learn how anti-Müllerian hormone regulates this process. @_jsdb_ doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

Esophageal atresia, in which part of the tube that connects the #mouth to the #stomach is missing, is a birth defect of the #foregut . Learn how #cilia and IFT88 are critical for septation of the foregut and correct formation of the #trachea and #esophagus doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

In case you missed it. Meet the bonnethead shark! Access to shark embryos is rare due to their viviparous mode of reproduction. With thanks to Steven Byrum, Bryan Frazier, R. Dean Grubbs, Gavin Naylor and Gareth Fraser.

#DLX gene expression in the developing #chick #pharyngeal arches and relationship to endothelin signaling and #avian #jaw patterning confirms their functional role in avian jaw patterning and can inform how different types of jaws evolved. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

Multi-organ phenotypes in #mice lacking latent #TGFβ binding protein 2 (LTBP2). Human mutations in LTBP2 cause congenital #glaucoma , microspherophakia, and Weill–Marchesani syndrome (type 3) and LTBP2 may have roles in tissue repair or #regeneration doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

Identification and characterization of #Hand2 upstream genomic #enhancers active in the developing #stomach and #limbs . Hand2 is flanked by an extensive upstream gene desert harboring only two putative enhancer regions with deep #sequence #conservation . doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

#Vertebral pattern and #morphology are determined during #embryo segmentation. Misregulation of segmentation #genes disrupts the formation and spacing of segment borders, which manifest as vertebral #anomalies that persist through adulthood. doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

Neural dependency in wound healing and regeneration: A combination of new tools, techniques, and data available to study #nerve dependency has set the stage for novel discovery and advances in the #neurobiology of #wound healing and #regeneration . doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.6…

Thanks DevelopmentalDynamic !

Many people are very good scientists, or are excellent teachers, but rare is the individual who excels at both. This month we say farewell and thank you to Dr Gary Schoenwolf and reflect upon his career, and contributions to Developmental Dynamics.
