Crest-like structures formed by internal layer of cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane were revealed in G1.tetani 471 by electron microscopy with the use of negative contrasting, ultrathin sections and freezing-etching. The transverse section of these crest-like structures was 56.3 nm and they were localized 4 to 6 in one row girdling the protoplast in different directions. Ring-like subunits located in rows with the periodicity of 5.9 nm, perpendicularly to the long axis of the cell, were revealed on the surface of the cell wall.

A moderator band, also known as the septomarginal trabecula, is a group of muscle bundles located in the ventricle of almost all human hearts. The morphology of the moderator band has various forms and several studies have focused mostly on its structure. Thus, in the present study, we sought to study the morphology and morphometry of the moderator band and tried to rearrange the criteria based on the previous studies to classify the moderator band in Thais.

A new species of (Decapoda, Cambaridae) from the State of Querétaro, Mexico.

Zookeys

July 2021

Ciencia Forense, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Circuito de la Investigación Científica s/n, Ciudad Universitaria, Coyoacán, México City, México Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México México City Mexico.

With a Nearctic distribution, the family Cambaridae harbors a high species richness in Mexico, which is also evident along the Pánuco River catchment. A series of surveys carried on in five populations from the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve in the State of Querétaro resulted in localizing a putative new species for science. A molecular phylogenetic study and species delimitation analyses including all the known species from the Pánuco River catchment were conducted based on three mitochondrial genes (16S rDNA, 12S rDNA, and COI; 2,462 bp in total).

The origin and evolution of vertebrate neural crest cells.

Open Biol

January 2020

Department of Biology, University of Oklahoma, 730 Van Vleet Oval, Norman, OK 73019, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • The neural crest is a unique group of migratory stem cells in vertebrates responsible for creating various cell types and structures, marking a significant milestone in vertebrate evolution.
  • Research in evolutionary-developmental biology is focused on understanding how neural crest cells evolved in early vertebrates, examining gene regulatory interactions during their development and migration.
  • Discoveries of neural crest-like cells in tunicates suggest that some regulatory mechanisms for neural crest development existed before vertebrates, leading to the evolution of true neural crest cells in the first vertebrates through enhanced multipotency and migration abilities.

The dermis harbors distinct mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) populations, which play equally important roles as epidermal stem cells in skin homeostasis and regeneration. However, to reliably identify and directly isolate the in vivo counterpart of these cells is still challenging. Using the epidermal stem cell marker CD49f, we defined a CD49f distinct mesenchymal subpopulation in the dermis.

Unlabelled: 3D bioprinting is a technique which enables the direct printing of biodegradable materials with cells into 3D tissue. So far there is no cell reprogramming in situ performed with the 3D bioprinting process. Forkhead box D3 (FoxD3) is a transcription factor and neural crest marker, which was reported to reprogram human fibroblasts into neural crest stem-like cells.
