A novel group of zebrafish Class II ADP-ribosylation factors and their potential role in photoreceptor development
DownloadFall 2013
In this study we identified an unknown set of Class II Arf isoforms in zebrafish. Bioinformatics analyses grouped these paralogues into three distinct clades. Using antisense morpholino gene knockdown, we tested the effect of loss of each zebrafish Class II Arf on early development and...

Analysis of Foxc1 Function During Somite Formation and Chondrogenesis of the Axial Skeleton
DownloadSpring 2018
Development of the axial skeleton in vertebrates begins with the segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm into somites. Somites are transient structures in the embryos that ultimately give rise to the skeletal muscle, dermis, tendons, cartilage, and bony structures of the axial skeleton. Once...

Aquatic nanotoxicity testing: Insights at the biochemical, cellular, and whole animal levels
DownloadFall 2013
Aquatic organisms are susceptible to waterborne nanoparticles and there is only limited understanding of the mechanisms by which these emerging contaminants affect biological processes. The unique properties of nanomaterials necessitate evaluation of standard toxicity testing techniques to...

Chaperone and Gene Regulatory Roles of SMYD1b during Early Skeletal Muscle Development and Heart Morphogenesis
DownloadFall 2017
Sarcomeres are the basic contractile units that make up the striated muscle of the heart and skeletal muscle. The specification and differentiation of muscle cells and the contractile function of the sarcomere are generally well understood, but how the sarcomere assembles remains largely unknown....
