Differential distribution of competence for panplacodal and neural crest induction to non-neural and neural ectoderm
(The Company of Biologists, 2012-02-08)It is still controversial whether cranial placodes and neural crest cells arise from a common precursor at the neural plate border or whether placodes arise from non-neural ectoderm and neural crest from neural ectoderm. ... -
Dissecting the pre-placodal transcriptome to reveal presumptive direct targets of six1 and eya1 in cranial placodes
(eLife Sciences Organisation, Ltd., 2016-08-31)The pre-placodal ectoderm, marked by the expression of the transcription factor Six1 and its co-activator Eya1, develops into placodes and ultimately into many cranial sensory organs and ganglia. Using RNA-Seq in Xenopus ... -
Evolution of the hypoxia-sensitive cells involved in amniote respiratory reflexes
(eLife Sciences Organisation, Ltd., 2017-04-07)The evolutionary origins of the hypoxia-sensitive cells that trigger amniote respiratory reflexes carotid body glomus cells, and 'pulmonary neuroendocrine cells' (PNECs) - are obscure. Homology has been proposed between ...
