The transcription factor SOX9 is regarded as a crucial player in pancreas development, both maintaining progenitors and later being required for beta cell differentiation. However, very little is known about the possible involvement of other SOX family members in such processes. In this issue, the work of Xu et al (DOI: 10.1007/s00125-015-3507-x ) shines a spotlight on SOX4, revealing this factor...
Abstract. We have analyzed the embryonic development of the temnocephalid flatworms Craspedella pedum and Diceratocephala boschmai, using a combination of fuchsin-labeled whole-mount preparation, histology, and transmission electron microscopy. Following the staging system recently introduced for another flatworm species (Mesostoma lingua), we can distinguish eight morphologically defined stages....
Somatotroph differentiation in the embryonic pituitary of avian and mammalian species can be stimulated by glucocorticoids in vitro, and this effect can be augmented by concomitant treatment with growth hormone —releasing hormone (GHRH). Owing to its isolation from maternal influences, the chick embryo is a useful model for studying humoral regulation of pituitary cell differentiation. Somatotroph...
