Left–right asymmetry in the vertebrate embryo: from early information to higher-level integration

Á Raya, JCI Belmonte - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2006 - nature.com
Although vertebrates seem to be essentially bilaterally symmetrical on the exterior, there are
numerous interior left–right asymmetries in the disposition and placement of internal organs …

Insights into the establishment of left–right asymmetries in vertebrates

Á Raya, JC Izpisúa Belmonte - Birth Defects Research Part C …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library

plane, displays numerous left‐right differences in the disposition and placement of internal …

[HTML][HTML] Unveiling the establishment of left–right asymmetry in the chick embryo

A Raya, JCI Belmonte - Mechanisms of development, 2004 - Elsevier

Making and breaking symmetry in development, growth and disease

DT Grimes - Development, 2019 - journals.biologists.com
Consistent asymmetries between the left and right sides of animal bodies are common. For
example, the internal organs of vertebrates are left-right (LR) asymmetric in a stereotyped …

Left–right axis determination

M Ibanes, JC Izpisua Belmonte - … Reviews: Systems Biology …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Vertebrates display left‐right (L‐R) asymmetric organ positioning and morphologies, which
are established during embryonic development. These asymmetries are conserved among …

Symmetry out, asymmetry in

The formation of a perfect vertebrate body plan poses many questions that thrill
developmental biologists. Special attention has been given to the symmetric segmental …

Twinning and embryonic left-right asymmetry

M Levin - Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition, 1999 - Taylor & Francis
The geometrical invariance known as symmetry is a striking feature of developmental
morphology during embryogenesis. The left±right axis of an animal's body plan is often …

Conserved and divergent mechanisms in left–right axis formation

RD Burdine, AF Schier - Genes & development, 2000 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Vertebrates appear bilaterally symmetric but an internal left–right (L–R) axis is revealed by
the placement of asymmetric organs about the midline. For example, the human heart is …

Left–right patterning: breaking symmetry to asymmetric morphogenesis

DT Grimes, RD Burdine - Trends in Genetics, 2017 - cell.com
Vertebrates exhibit striking left–right (L–R) asymmetries in the structure and position of the
