Contribution of homeobox genes to the development of the oikoplastic epithelium, a major novelty of tunicate Larvaceans
Mikhaleva, Yana (Doctoral thesis, 2016-11-23)The development of complex organisms is controlled by numerous genes, including developmentally regulated transcription factors (TF) encoded by multiple gene families. A well diversified group of TFs is the superclass of ... -
Gap junction-dependent coordination of intercellular calcium signalling in the developing appendicularian tunicate Oikopleura dioica
Mikhaleva, Yana; Tolstenkov, Oleg; Glover, Joel (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 miniaturized nigrostriatal-like circuit regulating locomotor performance in a protochordate
Tolstenkov, Oleg; Mikhaleva, Yana; Glover, Joel Clinton (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)To gain insight into the evolution of motor control systems at the origin of vertebrates, we have investigated higher-order motor circuitry in the protochordate Oikopleura dioica. We have identified a highly miniaturized ...
