Vertebrate eye development is a dynamic process that couples morphogenesis, migration of extraocular periocular mesenchyme (POM) cells to the eye, and retinal patterning along the nasotemporal and dorsoventral (DV) axes. Aberrant patterning during ocular development often results in defects...

Sensory systems are complex structures that receive stimuli from the surrounding environment and convert them into interpretable information. In the visual system, light hitting the eye is transmitted to the brain in a way that preserves the spatial conformation of the pictures we see. Retinal...

The roles of Pbx and Meis TALE-class homeodomain transcription factors in vertebrate neural patterning
DownloadFall 2010
One of the major goals of developmental biology is to understand how specialized groups of cells arise from an initially unspecified cell population. The vertebrate hindbrain is transiently segmented along its anterior-posterior axis into lineage-restricted compartments called rhombomeres, making...
