(2022-12-09)During early inner ear development, patterning of the sensory and neural domains is established in response to multiple signaling inputs. Although the importance of Fgf, Wnt, and Hh for inner ear development have been ...
-
(2014-12-01)Embryonic development is a process of unparalleled dynamism. The only constant in development is change itself- change in size, change in shape, change in gene expression- all driving the formation of an organism from a ...
-
(2011-10-21)The inner ear is a complex sensory organ of interconnected chambers, each with a sensory epithelium comprised of hair cells and support cells for detection of sound and motion. This dissertation focuses on the development ...
-
(2019-11-27)Preliminary data gathered by our lab suggests a requirement for lactate in the developing inner ear of zebrafish embryos, implicating the action of the Warburg effect in otic development. A potential regulator of this ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)In vertebrate embryonic development, correct specification of tissue fates along the dorsoventral (D/V) axis is known to require the secreted signaling ligand Wnt8. Wnt8 signaling promotes ventral fates and antagonizes the ...
-
(2012-07-16)Vertebrate wnt8a occupies a position at a crossroads linking anteroposterior and dorsoventral axis patterning. While functional aspects of wnt8a are beginning to be understood, the regulation of wnt8a expression and its ...
-
(2012-02-14)The vertebrate inner ear is a complex structure responsible for hearing and balance. The inner ear houses sensory epithelia composed of mechanosensory hair cells and non-sensory support cells. Hair cells synapse with neurons ...

(2014-04-17)Vertebrate vision is enabled by light-sensitive photoreceptors arranged in a plane in the retina. This study investigates two aspects of this arrangement: 1) positioning of basal bodies within photoreceptors, and 2) ...
