Developmental Dynamics, 235(8), 2266–2275.

By: K. Lipscomb *, C. Schmitt *, A. Sablyak*, J. Yoder n  & N. Nascone-Yoder n 

author keywords: retinoic acid; RALDH2; CYP26A1; gut; looping; malrotation; Xenopus; biliary atresia; annular pancreas
MeSH headings : Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1 Family; Aldehyde Oxidase / genetics; Animals; Body Patterning; Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System / genetics; Digestive System / growth & development; Digestive System / metabolism; Morphogenesis; Oxidoreductases / genetics; Receptors, Retinoic Acid / metabolism; Retinal Dehydrogenase; Retinoic Acid 4-Hydroxylase; Retinoids / metabolism; Signal Transduction; Xenopus Proteins / genetics; Xenopus laevis / genetics; Xenopus laevis / growth & development; Xenopus laevis / metabolism
TL;DR: It is shown that the genes for retinaldehyde dehydrogenase and a retinoic acid hydroxylase are expressed in complementary patterns in the Xenopus gut during looping, likely to play a critical role in asymmetric gut tube morphogenesis and may underlie the etiology of several clinically relevant defects in the digestive system.

2003 journal article

Left and right contributions to the Xenopus heart: implications for asymmetric morphogenesis

Development Genes and Evolution, 213(8), 390–398.

By: J. Gormley* & N. Nascone-Yoder* 

author keywords: Xenopus; heart; embryology
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Patterning; Embryo, Nonmammalian; Heart / embryology; Homeodomain Proteins / metabolism; Morphogenesis; Myocardium / metabolism; Transcription Factors / metabolism; Xenopus / anatomy & histology; Xenopus / embryology; Xenopus / genetics
TL;DR: A bilateral heart-specific fate map of the left and right contributions to the developing heart in the Xenopus embryo is constructed and it is revealed that this Pitx2-expressing region is fated to form the inner curvature of the heart loop, the left atrioventricular canal, and the dorsal aspect of theleft atrium.

Left-right asymmetric morphogenesis in theXenopus digestive system

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.

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)
