Occipital foramina development involves localised regulation of mesenchyme proliferation and is independent of apoptosis (2015)
Journal Article
Akbareian, S. E., Pitsillides, A. A., Macharia, R. G., & McGonnell, I. M. (2015). Occipital foramina development involves localised regulation of mesenchyme proliferation and is independent of apoptosis. Journal of Anatomy, 226(6), 560-574. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12304

Cranial foramina are holes within the skull, formed during development, allowing entry and exit of blood vessels and nerves. Once formed they must remain open, due to the vital structures they contain, i.e. optic nerves, jugular vein, carotid artery,...

Shh regulates chick Ebf1 gene expression in somite development (2015)
Journal Article
El-Magd, M. A., Allen, S. P., McGonnell, I. M., Mansour, A. A., Otto, A., & Patel, K. (2015). Shh regulates chick Ebf1 gene expression in somite development. Gene, 554(1), 87-95. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gene.2014.10.028

The chick early B-cell factor 1 (cEbf1) is a member of EBF family of helix loop helix transcription factors. Recently, we have proved that cEbf1 expression in feather is regulated by Shh. It is therefore possible that the somitic expression of cEbf1... Read More about Shh regulates chick Ebf1 gene expression in somite development.
