Crustacean hormone nuclear receptors: Characterization, gene expression, and evolution.
(1998)
Ecdysteroids are the arthropod molting hormones that control molting and limb regeneration in crustaceans. The actions of ecdysteroids are mediated through their nuclear receptor, ecdysteroid receptor (EcR). Studies in ...
Physical characterization of the ecdysteroid and retinoid X receptor (UpEcR and UpRXR) in the fiddler crab Uca pugilator.
(2003)
Ecdysteroid hormones regulate growth, metamorphic differentiation, vitellogenesis, and oogenesis in insects. In crustaceans, molt, limb regeneration, and reproduction are closely related to ecdysteroid titers. In the fiddler ...
THE DIVERGENCE OF SOXE GENE FUNCTION DURING VERTEBRATE EVOLUTION
(2014-05-09)
Evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) is the study of how developmental mechanisms that shape organisms have changed through evolutionary time. A central question in evo-devo asks how early vertebrates may have ...
Molecular basis of ecdysteroid mediated limb regeneration in the fiddler crab, Uca pugilator
(2014-05)
Regeneration is a biological phenomenon that provides an organism the ability to recapitulate part of embryonic development as an adult. The capacity to regenerate is not limited to any particular group of animals; however, ...
An analysis of the activation of the adipogenic differentiation pathway in the bone marrow stroma by members of the nuclear hormone receptor family.
(1997)
The bone marrow stroma is composed of a diverse array of cell types that have unique functions. Of the different types, the adipocyte is the most abundant. It is not clear what purpose adipocytes serve in the bone marrow. ...
