Gastrulation is the process by which the blastocyst is transformed into a gastrula, which has different germ layers (in most organisms the gastrula has three germ layers — the mesoderm ...

The results from this study, which investigates the mechanisms necessary for initiating tissue invagination using a cellular Potts modelling approach, suggest that apical constriction is not ...

The experimental shrimp, L. vannamei, were cultured in 25°C ± 1°C circulating seawater in our laboratory, and fed three times a day with equal weight commercial feed pellets. The shrimp with the body ...

Figure 4 Ras superfamily gene expression profiles at different early developmental stages of L. vannamei. Early development stages: zygote (zygo), 2 cells (C2), 4 cells (C4), 32 cells (C32), blastula ...

This valuable study reports on the critical role of ANKRD5 (ANKEF1) in sperm motility and male fertility. However, the supporting data remain incomplete. This work will be of interest to biomedical ...
