  • Development of the Cetacean Nasal Skull

    by Milan Klima ...
    Series series Medicine (R0)
    Morphogeny of the nasal skull was investigated in 92 embryos of 13 species of Cetacea. Compared to the original nasal capsule of land mammals, the nasal structures of Cetacea show many weighty transformations. As a result, the nostrils are translocated from the tip of the snout to the vertex of the head. Several structures of the embryonic nasal skull remain preserved even in adult cetaceans. The ...

  • Early Development of the Shoulder Girdle and Sternum in Marsupials (Mammalia: Metatheria)

    by Milan Klima ...
    Series series Medicine (R0)
    The development of the breast-shoulder apparatus in the Marsupialia was inves tigated and compared with the conditions in Monotremata and Placentalia. The results were achieved by the investigation of material comprising altogether 109 histological serial sections of intrauterine embryos, neonates, and pouch young from 11 marsupial species. Additionally, 54 skeletons of subadult and adult ... Read more

  • Embryology of Dolphins

    Staging and Ageing of Embryos and Fetuses of Some Cetaceans

    Series series Medicine (R0)
    The rapid development of molecular biology and genetics has led to renewed interest in embryology, comparative embryology, and studies of the relations between ontogeny and phylogeny. In fact, genes have been identified which are involved in the formation of shapes and structures, and it is becoming apparent that their primary morphological expressions are conspicuously similar in different ...

  • Semaphorins

    A Diversity of Emerging Physiological and Pathological Activities

    Edited by Atsushi Kumanogoh ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book presents the current concepts of semaphorin biology. In the early 1990s, semaphorins were originally identified as axon guidance cues that function during neuronal development. However, cumulative findings have clarified that they have diverse functions in many physiological processes, including cardiogenesis, angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, retinal homeostasis, and ...

  • Cortical Development

    From Specification to Differentiation

    Edited by Christine F. Hohmann ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The cerebral neo cortex, unique to mammals, is regarded as the prerequisite for higher cognitive function and is the structure most closely associated with the idea of the "mind" . Expansion of mental capa city between mammals is most typically associated with an evolutionary increase in neocortical volume that culminates in the intricately folded configuration of sulci and gyri so charac teristic ...

  • Müller Cells in the Healthy and Diseased Retina

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Müller cells may be used in the future for novel therapeutic strategies to protect neurons against apoptosis (for example, somatic gene therapy), or to differentiate retinal neurons from Müller/stem cells. Meanwhile, a proper understanding of the gliotic responses of Müller cells in the diseased retina, and of their protective vs. detrimental effects, is essential for the development of efficient ...

  • Neurogenesis in the Adult Brain I

    Neurobiology

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The discovery of adult neurogenesis caused a paradigm shift in the neurosciences. For more than 100 years, it was believed that adult neurons do not regenerate. Joseph Altman and Fernando Nottebohm found proof to the contrary and changed the course of history. Their research, included here, provides the foundations of the field. Today, adult neurogenesis is a rapidly expanding discipline ... Read more
