Gap junction-dependent coordination of intercellular calcium signalling in the developing appendicularian tunicate Oikopleura dioica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We characterized spontaneous Ca2+ signals in Oikopleura dioica embryos from pre-fertilization to gastrula stages following injection of GCaMP6 mRNA into unfertilized eggs. The unfertilized egg exhibited regular, transient ... -
A safer, urea-based in situ hybridization method improves detection of gene expression in diverse animal species
(Journal article, 2017)In situ hybridization is a widely employed technique allowing spatial visualization of gene expression in fixed specimens. It has proven to be essential to our understanding of biological processes, including developmental ... -
Transient photoreception in the hindbrain is permissive to the life history transition of hatching in Atlantic halibut
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In nonmammalian vertebrates, photoreception takes place in the deep brain already early in development, but knowledge is lacking about the functions of these nonvisual photoreceptive systems. Prior to hatching, Atlantic ... -
Twenty million years of evolution: The embryogenesis of four Caenorhabditis species are indistinguishable despite extensive genome divergence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-15)The four Caenorhabditis species C. elegans, C. briggsae, C. remanei and C. brenneri show more divergence at the genomic level than humans compared to mice (Stein et al., 2003; Cutter et al., 2006, 2008). However, the ... -
The two-step development of a duplex retina involves distinct events of cone and rod neurogenesis and differentiation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08)Unlike in mammals, persistent postembryonic retinal growth is a characteristic feature of fish, which includes major remodeling events that affect all cell types including photoreceptors. Consequently, visual capabilities ...
