Dissecting the pan-placodal gene regulatory network reveals novel interactions driving sense organ development in vertebrates
(2016-02-17)The genes encoding the transcription factor Six1, and its co-factor Eya1 together mark the embryonic territory - the pan-placodal ectoderm (PPE) - that gives rise to most cranial sense organs in vertebrates. Mutation of ... -
Regulation of Six1 and Eya1 during the formation of the preplacodal ectoderm in xenopus - towards a gene regulatory network of the developing neural plate border
(2017-01-06)Cranial placodes are ectodermal thickenings in vertebrate embryos that give rise to many sense organs and ganglia. All placodes arise from a common precursor, the pre-placodal ectoderm (PPE). The latter develops during ... -
The role of Eya1 in otic neurogenesis in Xenopus laevis
(NUI Galway, 2021-07-26)Cranial placodes are specialized areas of thickening of the early embryonic ectoderm at the head and give rise to sensory organs and ganglia. In vertebrates, the inner ear is derived from one of these placodes, the otic ...
