Functional evidence that FGFR regulates MAPK signaling in organizer specification in the gastropod mollusk Lottia peitaihoensis
The D-quadrant organizer sets up the dorsal–ventral (DV) axis and regulates mesodermal development of spiralians. Studies have revealed an important role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in...

Expression patterns indicate that BMP2/4 and Chordin, not BMP5-8 and Gremlin, mediate dorsal–ventral patterning in the mollusk Crassostrea gigas
Though several bilaterian animals use a conserved BMP2/4–Chordin antagonism to pattern the dorsal–ventral (DV) axis, the only lophotrochozoan species in which early DV patterning has been studied to date, the ...
