... developmental biology. Recent findings from non-bilaterian animals, in particular from Cnidaria, the sister group to Bilateria, have shed new light into the evolutionary origin of bilaterality. Here, we compare the molecular control of body axes in radially and bilaterally symmetric cnidarians and bilaterians...

... Cnidaria Wnt signaling The establishment of distinct territories along the anterior-posterior body axis is a key step in animal embryogenesis. Conserved patterning molecules specify the anterior and posterior territories of bilaterians. We address here how these patterning systems are established...

It has previously been found that the SoxB orthologue NvSoxB(2) is expressed in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in Nematostella and promotes the development of both neurons and nematocytes, whereas Notch signalling has...

We address this question by analysing neurogenesis in an anthozoan cnidarian, Nematostella vectensis . Using a transgenic reporter line, we show that NvSoxB(2 ) – an orthologue of bilaterian SoxB...
