Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular mechanisms of intestine regeneration in the sea cucumber, Holothuria glaberrima Selenka (Holothuroidea:Echinodermata)

TL;DR: This study provides evidence that the process of new organ formation in holothurians can be described as an intermediate process showing characteristics of both epimorphic and morphallactic phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of mice carrying targeted mutations of the glucocorticoid receptor gene argues against an essential role of glucocorticoid signalling for generating adrenal chromaffin cells.

TL;DR: It is concluded that important phenotypic features of chromaffin cells that distinguish them from sympathetic neurones develop normally in the absence of GR-mediated signalling, suggesting that the dogma of an essential role of glucocorticoid signalling for the development of chromAffin cells must be abandoned.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular matrix remodeling and metalloproteinase involvement during intestine regeneration in the sea cucumber Holothuria glaberrima.

TL;DR: It is shown that significant changes in ECM content occur during intestine regeneration in the sea cucumber and that the onset of these changes is correlated to the proteolytic activities of MMPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visceral regeneration in holothurians.

TL;DR: Focusing mainly on the digestive tube, regeneration from a cellular perspective is analyzed, considering especially the origin, migration, and proliferation of the cellular components of the regenerated organ.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression profiling of intestinal regeneration in the sea cucumber

TL;DR: The expression profile of animals at three different intestinal regeneration stages (3, 7- and 14-days post evisceration) is compared against the profile from normal (uneviscerated) intestines to set the base for future studies into the molecular basis of intestinal regeneration.
