Cartilage differentiation occurs over a broad time range from early embryonic development,
when the mesenchymal condensations that give rise to cartilage models for future bone first …

Sonic hedgehog (Shh), which regulates proliferation in many contexts, functions as a limb
morphogen to specify a distinct pattern of digits. How Shh's effects on cell number relate to its …

Indian hedgehog (Ihh) is essential for chondrocyte and osteoblast proliferation/differentiation
during prenatal endochondral bone formation. The early lethality of various Ihh-ablated …

The molecular circadian clocks in the mammalian retina are locally synchronized by
environmental light cycles independent of the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) in the brain. …

Systemic derangements and perinatal death of generalized insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1)
and IGF‐1 receptor (IGF‐1R) knockout mice preclude definitive assessment of IGF‐1R …

Human stem cells derived from human fertilized oocytes, fetal primordial germ cells,
umbilical cord blood, and adult tissues provide potential cell-based therapies for repair of …

The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is one of the most important
crustacean species produced in inland aquaculture in many tropical and subtropical countries …

Almost all life forms can detect and decode light information for adaptive advantage.
Examples include the visual system, in which photoreceptor signals are processed into virtual …

We assessed correlations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the actin
and crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) genes with individual growth performance in …

Additive genetic, heterotic and strain reciprocal effects were estimated using a diallel cross
of two local wild strains of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in …
