Control of eye development in the mouse by Pax6 and Meis genes

We have shown a critical role of Pax6 and Meis transcription factors in lens and retina development. [pubmed] [doi]

Evolutionary origin of the vertebrate head: an insight from amphioxus

Through cell type characterization, we identified the presence of prechordal plate-like and neural crest-like cell populations in the developing embryo of invertebrate amphioxus. [pubmed] [doi]

Evolution of vertebrate body plan

Our study revealed high evolutionary conservation of dorsal organizer formation in the chordate lineage. [pubmed] [doi]
