Developmental Dynamics, 228(4), 672–682.

By: J. Muller*, D. Prather* & N. Nascone-Yoder*

author keywords: asymmetry; gut; left; morphogenesis; right; Pitx2; Xenopus
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Patterning; Cell Division; Cell Lineage; Gastrointestinal Tract / anatomy & histology; Gastrointestinal Tract / embryology; Gastrula / metabolism; Homeodomain Proteins / biosynthesis; Immunohistochemistry; In Situ Hybridization; Mesoderm / metabolism; Microscopy, Fluorescence; Morphogenesis; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Time Factors; Tissue Distribution; Transcription Factors / biosynthesis; Xenopus laevis / embryology
TL;DR: The roles of the left and right sides of the Xenopus embryo during the development of anatomic asymmetries in the digestive system are compared to provide insight into the nature of symmetry‐breaking morphogenetic events during left–right asymmetric organ development. (via Semantic Scholar)

Evolutionary relationships between the amphibian, avian, and mammalian stomachs

Evolution and Development, 2(6), 348–359.

By: D. Smith*, R. Grasty*, N. Theodosiou*, C. Tabin* & N. Nascone-Yoder*

MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Birds / anatomy & histology; Chick Embryo; Female; In Situ Hybridization; Mammals / anatomy & histology; Mice; Pregnancy; Stomach / anatomy & histology; Xenopus laevis / anatomy & histology
TL;DR: The global patterning of the gut is remarkably similar among the different vertebrate lineages, and the distinct compartments of gene expression that are found in the gut be necessary for the unique morphological specializations that distinguish the stomachs from terrestrial vertebrates.

Organizer Induction Determines Left–Right Asymmetry inXenopus

Developmental Biology, 189(1), 68–78.

By: N. Nascone* & M. Mercola*

MeSH headings : Animals; Embryonic Induction; Female; Heart / embryology; Xenopus laevis / embryology
TL;DR: It is shown that the induction of dorsal organizing centers in the embryo can orient left-right asymmetry, and this results indicate that LR asymmetry is locally oriented as a consequence of Wnt signaling through beta-catenin and Siamois. (via Semantic Scholar)

Two molecular models of initial left-right asymmetry generation

Medical Hypotheses, 49(5), 429–435.

By: M. Levin* & N. Nascone*

MeSH headings : Animals; Body Patterning / genetics; Connexin 43 / physiology; Dyneins / physiology; Humans; Models, Molecular
TL;DR: Two models are presented, significantly supported by previous findings, which hypothesize that dynein asymmetrically localizes LR determinants in individual cells to establish cell-autonomous LR biasing, and asymmetric activity of Cx43 gap junctions within key cells sets up electric potentials in multicellular fields, thus establishing large-scale LR asymmetry.

Endoderm and Cardiogenesis

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 6(7), 211–216.

By: N. Nascone* & M. Mercola*

TL;DR: The ability of the endoderm to generate a beating heart from tissues fated to form other cell types suggests that endoderman may also be involved in the initial specification of the early heart field. (via Semantic Scholar)
