Development of galanin-containing nerve fibres in rat tibia.
4 Nov 2009 
Galanin exerts tonic inhibition of nociceptive input to the central nervous system. Recently, this peptide was demonstrated in several neuronal and non-neuronal structures in bones and joints. In this study, the time of appearance and topographic ... Read more...
Chordate roots of the vertebrate nervous system: expanding the molecular toolkit.
7 Sep 2009 The vertebrate brain is highly complex with millions to billions of neurons. During development, the neural plate border region gives rise to the neural crest, cranial placodes and, in anamniotes, to Rohon-Beard sensory neurons, whereas the boundary ... Read more...
MicroRNAs tell an evo-devo story.
7 Sep 2009 Evolutionary developmental biology, often called evo-devo, seeks to understand the ancestral relationship among organisms by comparing their developmental strategies and ultimately reconstructing the pathways that led to the extraordinary variety of ... Read more...
