Misfeldt, Andrew Michael (2008-12-30)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyIdentification of multipotent cardiac progenitors has provided fresh insight into the mechanisms of myocardial lineage specification, yet has done little to clarify the origin of the endocardium. Despite its essential role ...

Essential Roles of Convergence and Extension Gastrulation Movements in Zebrafish Somite Development Yin, Chunyue (2007-02-27)Department: Biological SciencesDuring vertebrate gastrulation, massive cell movements shape the basic body plan. Key components of gastrulation are convergence and extension (C&E) movements, which narrow and lengthen the embryonic tissues, respectively. ...

Skelton, Rachel Leah (2012-08-06)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyNeural function depends on the creation of synapses between specific neurons. Across species, transcription factor codes regulate the precise connectivity between neurons. In the C. elegans motor circuit, these critical ...

Cha, Young Ryun (2006-04-14)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyDynamic spatiotemporal expression of the nodal gene and its orthologs is involved in the dose-dependent induction and patterning of mesendoderm during early vertebrate embryogenesis. In loss of function studies, a strong ...

Banerjee, Amrita (2019-03-22)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyInflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and its subtype Crohn’s disease (CD) arise due to a loss of tolerance to environmental antigens in genetically susceptible individuals. Longitudinal analysis of CD incidence has identified ...

Potter, Leah Ashley (2011-12-04)Department: Molecular Physiology and BiophysicsPluripotent stem cells, because of their ability to differentiate into any cell type, have been widely advocated as a means of producing a nearly unlimited source of new insulin-producing β cells for the treatment of ...
