Presence of the matrix metalloproteinases during the migration of the primordial germ cells in zebrafish gonadal ridge
In vertebrates, the primordial germ cells (PGCs) differentiate from extragonadal regions, migrating to gonadal ridge during the embryonic...

Growth hormone secretagogue peptide A233 upregulates Mx expression in teleost fish in vitro and in vivo
Aquaculture constitutes an alternative source for food production and contributes to a reduction in the indiscriminate catching of aquatic organisms...

A Comparative View of Cerebellar Morphology and Diversity in Fishes
Fish represent the most diverse vertebrate class. Through evolutionary time and habitat adaptations, bony and cartilaginous fishes have taken up...
-
Introduction
This book aims to understand vertebrate brains from developmental and evolutionary aspects by focusing on the ontogenesis of the brain of the medaka,...

Fundamental Neurocardiology: The Intracardiac Nervous System
Cardiac output is controlled by the autonomic nervous system to meet continually changing demands for the perfusion of systemic vascular beds....

On the relationship between extant innate immune receptors and the evolutionary origins of jawed vertebrate adaptive immunity
For over half a century, deciphering the origins of the genomic loci that form the jawed vertebrate adaptive immune response has been a major topic...

The Zebrafish as a New Model System for Experimental Biology
AbstractThe emergence of genomics and its use in combination with high-resolution bioimaging for the study of animal development mechanisms provide...

Ancient fish lineages illuminate toll-like receptor diversification in early vertebrate evolution
Since its initial discovery over 50 years ago, understanding the evolution of the vertebrate RAG- mediated adaptive immune response has been a major...

Embryonic development of a centralised brain in coleoid cephalopods
The last common ancestor of cephalopods and vertebrates lived about 580 million years ago, yet coleoid cephalopods, comprising squid, cuttlefish and...

The bowfin genome illuminates the developmental evolution of ray-finned fishes
The bowfin ( Amia calva ) is a ray-finned fish that possesses a unique suite of ancestral and derived phenotypes, which are key to understanding...

Immunoglobulins in teleosts
Immunoglobulins are glycoproteins which are produced as membrane-bound receptors on B-cells or in a secreted form, known as antibodies. In teleosts,...

Calendar Timing in Teleost Fish
Teleosts are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates. Although a complex variety of environmental cues influence and time their behaviour...

Anti-inflammatory activity of nanoemulsions of essential oil from Rosmarinus officinalis L.: in vitro and in zebrafish studies
The essential oil from Rosmarinus officinalis L. (OERO) has bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory activity. The objective of this study was to...

Intra-specific copy number variation of MHC class II genes in the Siamese fighting fish
Duplicates of genes for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules can be subjected to selection independently and vary markedly in their...

Type II Na+-phosphate Cotransporters and Phosphate Balance in Teleost Fish
Teleost fish are excellent models to study the phylogeny of the slc34 gene family, Slc34-mediated phosphate (P i ) transport and how Slc34 transporters...

An evaluation of the evolution of the gene structure of dystroglycan
BackgroundDystroglycan (DG) is an adhesion receptor complex composed of two non-covalently associated subunits, transcribed from a single gene. The...

Acute toxicity and antioxidant responses in the water flea Daphnia magna to xenobiotics (cadmium, lead, mercury, bisphenol A, and 4-nonylphenol)
Heavy metals have adverse effects to aquatic organisms, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) alter the normal functioning of hormones in living...

Dynamics of Rex3 in the genomes of endangered Iberian Leuciscinae (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) and their natural hybrids
BackgroundIberian Leuciscinae are greatly diverse comprising taxa of hybrid origin. With highly conservative karyotypes, Iberian Chondrostoma s.l. ...

Relaxed selective constraints drove functional modifications in peripheral photoreception of the cavefish P. andruzzii and provide insight into the time of cave colonization
The genetic basis of phenotypic changes in extreme environments is a key but rather unexplored topic in animal evolution. Here we provide an exemplar...

The spotted gar genome illuminates vertebrate evolution and facilitates human-teleost comparisons
To connect human biology to fish biomedical models, we sequenced the genome of spotted gar ( Lepisosteus oculatus ), whose lineage diverged from...
