Vertebrate intestinal endoderm development
JR Spence, R Lauf, NF Shroyer - Developmental dynamics, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
The endoderm gives rise to the lining of the esophagus, stomach and intestines, as well as
associated organs. To generate a functional intestine, a series of highly orchestrated …

Pattern and process during sea urchin gut morphogenesis: the regulatory landscape
The development of the endoderm is a multistage process. From the initial specification of
the endodermal domain in the embryo to the final regionalization of the gut, there are …

Single-cell RNA sequencing of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus larva reveals the blueprint of major cell types and nervous system of a non-chordate deuterostome
Identifying the molecular fingerprint of organismal cell types is key for understanding their
function and evolution. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to survey the …
