...Yoshitaka Tanaka; Shun Okayama; Kohei Urakawa; Hidehiro Kudoh; Satoshi Ansai; Gembu Abe; Koji Tamura ABSTRACT Pectoral fins, the anterior paired fins in fish, have enhanced maneuvering abilities due to morphological changes. Teleosts have fewer radial bones in their pectoral fins than basal species...

... Teleost In mammals, severe injury to the adult brain has catastrophic effects and significant regeneration does not occur. By contrast, adult non-mammalian vertebrates can regenerate considerable regions of their central nervous system (CNS) (Endo et al., 2007 ; Font et al., 2001 ; Kaslin et al...

... Teleost In the process of the embryogenesis, specialized cells (or organs) act as organizing centers for adjacent tissues. The floor plate, a row of distinctive cells located at the ventral midline of the neural tube, is an important organizing center in the central nervous system. It is well...

...Frank Stellabotte; Betsy Dobbs-McAuliffe; Daniel A. Fernández; Xuesong Feng; Stephen H. Devoto The myogenic precursors responsible for muscle growth in amniotes develop from the dermomyotome, an epithelium at the external surface of the somite. In teleosts, the myogenic precursors responsible...

... and diencephalic neuronal patterning in the blind cavefish Astyanax mexicanus , a teleost fish closely related to zebrafish. A comparison between cave- and surface-dwelling forms of Astyanax shows that cavefish display larger Shh expression in all anterior midline domains throughout development. This does...

...Donald A. Kane; Karen N. McFarland; Rachel M. Warga Epiboly, the spreading of the blastoderm over the large yolk cell, is the first morphogenetic movement of the teleost embryo. Examining this movement as a paradigm of vertebrate morphogenesis, we have focused on the epiboly arrest mutant half...

...Bahram Sadaghiani; Juergen R. Vielkind ABSTRACT We have studied neural crest development in two teleost fish species, Xiphophorus maculatus (platyfish) and X. heUeri (swordtail), and found similarities to that in other vertebrates but also some important differences. Unlike in other vertebrates...

...Andrew Wood; Lucy P. M. Timmermans Using the prominent cell nucleus as an intrinsic marker, individual deep cell blastomeres have been monitored in vivo using Nomarski differential interference contrast microscopy during spreading of the teleost blastoderm. Involution of these cells has been...

...Andrew Wood; Peter Thorogood ABSTRACT The pectoral fin bud of the developing teleost embryo contains a highly ordered extracellular matrix of collagenous fibrils, called ‘actinotrichia’. During invasion of the fin fold, mesenchymal cells, migrating distally from the base of the fin, become contact...
