Sentence examples for development of fins from inspiring English sources

The fishlike habitus that evidently began with cephalochordates became modified by the development of fins that were later transformed into limbs.

As the prey grew bigger, it became less vulnerable to predation by African sharptooth catfish due to development of fin rays which complicate predation (Abdel-Hadi et al. 2011).

DEAB has previously been reported to block development of fin buds and otic vesicles [29] and blocks expression of hoxb1b, vhnf1, krx20 in rhombomere (r) 5, val in r5-6, hoxd4andnd efnb2a in r7 of the hindbrain [42].

The development of fin buds is related to the formation of cartilage and chondral ossification.

GNPTAB-depleted embryos exhibited decreased mannose phosphorylation of lysosomal hydrolases, craniofacial and cardiac defects, impaired motility, and altered development of pectoral fins and otic vesicles.

In light of the primitive morphological characters present in shark pectoral fins [43], and our finding that development of the fin skeleton in shark embryos is strikingly different to that of zebrafish, we reasoned that the dynamics of Hoxd gene expression in shark paired fins may provide insights into the patterns that operated in the common ancestor of chondrichthyans and osteichthyans.

Besides laminin α5, large-scale mutagenesis screens in zebrafish have identified the ECM components Fras1, Frem1, Frem2 and hemicentin 1 (Hmcn1) to be essential for the proper development of larval fin appendages (Carney et al., 2010; van Eeden et al., 1996).

"There was a very surreal moment during the development of those glass fins," recalls a former Foster employee.

The results show that during early development of catshark pectoral fins, Hoxd genes are activated in a spatially and temporally collinear pattern that resembles the first phase of Hoxd expression in tetrapod limbs and teleost fins.

The dynamics of Hoxd9 expression during early development of shark pectoral fins closely resemble the pattern observed during chick limb initiation, in which Hoxd9 is expressed initially up to the boundary between the flank and prospective forelimb bud, and the boundary then shifts anteriorly to be expressed throughout the forelimb bud [29].

Like dry surface fins, development of the boundary layer over a wet fin causes the heat transfer coefficient to vary over the fin surface.
