Morphology
- Cellular response to bacterial infection in the grasshopper Oxya chinensis
Summary: We examined the cellular response of Oxya chinensis against bacterial challenges. We showed that two types of haemocytes shared the duty of phagocytosis.
- Fgf8a mutation affects craniofacial development and skeletal gene expression in zebrafish larvae
Summary: A function-blocking mutation in fgf8a causes craniofacial malformations in zebrafish larvae due to impaired cranial neural crest cell migration and survival.
- The effects of the exopolysaccharide and growth rate on the morphogenesis of the terrestrial filamentous cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme
Summary: By examining the effects of the exopolysaccharide and environmental stress-related growth rate on Nostoc flagelliforme, this study gained insight into the morphogenesis of the colonial cyanobacterium.
