Signalling interactions between the polarizing region, which produces SHH, and the apical ectodermal ridge, which produces FGFs, are essential for outgrowth and patterning of vertebrate limbs. However, mechanisms that mediate translation... more
Transforming growth factor alpha (TGFα) belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family and is known to play an important role during eyelid morphogenesis. In this study, we showed that ectopic expression of TGFα in the stroma of... more
Mouse embryos lacking the retinoic acid receptor gene RXR(alpha) die in midgestation from hypoplastic development of the myocardium of the ventricular chambers and consequent cardiac failure. In this study, we address the issue of whether... more
The structure of the bacteriophage phi X174 was examined in a 2.7 A resolution map and refined, using 6.0 A to 3.0 A resolution data with F > or = 5 sigma (F). The final R-factor was 20.9% and the root-mean-square deviation from... more
A broad spectrum of biological activities has been proposed for transforming growth factor-beta 3 (TGF-beta 3). To study TGF-beta 3 function in development, TGF-beta 3 null mutant mice were generated by gene-targeting. Within 20 hours of... more
An exceptional case of a duplicate Meckel’s cartilage in a human fetus, with a C-R length of 57 mm, is studied. Another small cartilage, isolated from Meckel’s, of rounded morphology, was observed in a small region between the... more
This article describes the ultrastructural events associated with the differentiation and liberation of the exogenous gemmae produced in branched acropetal chains along the margins of the leaves in the liverwort Odontoschisma denudatum.... more
The skeleton of zebrafish fins consists of lepidotrichia and actinotrichia. Actinotrichia are fibrils located at the tip of each lepidotrichia and play a morphogenetic role in fin formation. Actinotrichia are formed by collagens... more
The early studies of evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) come from several sources. Tributaries flowing into Evo-Devo came from such disciplines as embryology, developmental genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology, paleontology,... more
Polarized cell behaviors drive axis elongation in animal embryos, but the mechanisms underlying elongation of many tissues remain unknown. Eggs of Drosophila undergo elongation from a sphere to an ellipsoid during oogenesis. We used live... more
The drawings and photographs preserved in the Seguso Vetri d'Arte archive at the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice allow us to reconstruct the creative process that leads to the generation of glass objects and to analyse it in the light... more
Triclad flatworms are well studied for their regenerative properties, yet little is known about their embryonic development. We here describe the embryonic development of the triclad Schmidtea polychroa, using histological and... more
Dio geomorfološke studije Općine Pitomača u sklopu predmeta Primijenjena Geomorfologija na PMF-u Zagreb 2017. godine u koatorstvu - Šarčević, S., Bregni, L., Furčić, P., Horvat A.
Proteus mirabilis colonies exhibit striking geometric regularity. Basic microbiological methods and imaging techniques were used to measure periodic macroscopic events in swarm colony morphogenesis. We distinguished three initial phases... more
Cellular automata are models that deal with both nature and artefacts: they can indeed simulate living beings as well as be employed in the creation of objects. After the introduction of this concept by Stanislaw Ulam and John Von Neumann... more
