Single-minded 2 is required for left-right asymmetric stomach morphogenesis

DEVELOPMENT, 148(17).

By: B. Wyatt n, N. Amin n, K. Bagley n, D. Wcisel n, M. Dush n, J. Yoder n , N. Nascone-Yoder n 

author keywords: right asymmetry; Stomach; Morphogenesis; Pitx2; Sim2; Down syndrome; Frog
MeSH headings : Animals; Anura; Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors / genetics; Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors / metabolism; Body Patterning; Embryo, Nonmammalian; Endoderm / embryology; Endoderm / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Homeodomain Proteins / genetics; Homeodomain Proteins / metabolism; Morphogenesis; Stomach / embryology; Transcription Factors / genetics; Transcription Factors / metabolism
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sim2 functions downstream of LR patterning cues to regulate key cellular properties and behaviors in the left stomach epithelium that drive asymmetric curvature, and has implications for dose-dependent roles of laterality factors in non-laterality-related birth defects.

Stomach curvature is generated by left-right asymmetric gut morphogenesis

DEVELOPMENT, 144(8), 1477–1483.

By: A. Davis n, N. Amin n, C. Johnson n, K. Bagley n, H. Ghashghaei  n & N. Nascone-Yoder n 

author keywords: Left-right; Asymmetry; Stomach; Gut; Morphogenesis; Pitx2; Xenopus; Mouse
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Patterning; Endoderm / embryology; Endoderm / metabolism; Epithelium / embryology; Epithelium / metabolism; Homeodomain Proteins / metabolism; Mice; Rotation; Signal Transduction; Stomach / anatomy & histology; Stomach / embryology; Transcription Factors / metabolism; Xenopus / embryology
TL;DR: It is shown that the mechanisms that drive the curvature of the stomach are intrinsic to the gut tube itself, and this findings have implications for how LR patterning manifests distinct types of morphological asymmetries in different contexts. (via Semantic Scholar)

Budgett's frog (Lepidobatrachus laevis): A new amphibian embryo for developmental biology

DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY, 405(2), 291–303.

By: N. Amin n, M. Womble n, C. Ledon-Rettig *, M. Hull n, A. Dickinson * & N. Nascone-Yoder n 

author keywords: Lepidobatrachus; Xenopus; Amphibian; Embryo; Stages; Scaling
MeSH headings : Amphibians; Animals; Anura / embryology; Cell Lineage; Developmental Biology; Embryonic Development; Immunohistochemistry; Models, Animal; Morphogenesis; Organogenesis; Regeneration; Species Specificity; Xenopus laevis / physiology
TL;DR: The Budgett's frog is described, an unusual species with eggs that are over twice the diameter of laboratory Xenopus, and embryos that can tolerate higher temperatures to develop into a tadpole four times more rapidly, which substantially accelerates the pace of experimentation.
