Zebrafish hoxb1b is expressed during epiboly in the posterior neural plate, with its anterior boundary at the prospective r4 region providing a positional cue for hindbrain formation. A similar function and expression is known for Hoxa1 in mice, s...

Rotational movement of the node cilia generates a leftward fluid flow in the mouse embryo(1) because the cilia are posteriorly tilted(2,3). However, it is not known how anterior-posterior information is translated into the posterior tilt of the no...

Heat shock promoters are powerful tools for the precise control of exogenous gene induction in living organisms. In addition to the temporal control of gene expression, the analysis of gene function can also require spatial restriction. Recently, ...
The medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) is an emerging model organism for which a variety of unique developmental mutants have now been generated. Our recent mutagenesis screening of the medaka identified headfish (hdf), a null mutant for fgf receptor1 ...
The mechanisms controlling the establishment of the embryonic-abembryonic (E-Ab) axis of the mammalian blastocyst are controversial. We used in vitro time-lapse imaging and in vivo lineage labeling to provide evidence that the E-Ab axis of the mou...
