Palma, Verónica; Kukuljan Padilla, Manuel; Mayor, Roberto (Cell Press, 2001)Calcium signals participate in the differentiation of electrically excitable and nonexcitable cells; one example of this differentiation is the acquisition of mature neuronal phenotypes [1]. For example, transient elevations ...
-
Aybar, Manuel; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro; Mayor Caro, Roberto (Society of Biology of Chile, 2002)The neural crest is induced at the border between the neural plate and the epidermis. A complex set of signals is required for the specification of the crest cells between the epidermis and the neural plate. Here we discuss ...

Bastidas, Francisco; De Calisto, Jaime; Mayor, Roberto (2004)In recent years, research on neural crest induction has allowed the identification of several molecules as candidates for neural crest inducers. Although many of these molecules have the ability to induce neural crest in ...

Marchant, Lorena; Linker, Claudia; Mayor, Roberto (1998)Mesoderm induction requires interaction between cells of the animal and vegetal hemispheres of the embryo. Several molecules have been proposed as candidates for mesoderm-inducing signals, with activin a particularly strong ...

Carmona-Fontaine, Carlos; Acuña, Gustavo; Ellwanger, Kristina; Niehrs, Christof; Mayor, Roberto (Academic Press Inc., 2007)It is known the interactions between the neural plate and epidermis generate neural crest (NC), but it is unknown why the NC develops only at the lateral border of the neural plate and not in the anterior fold. Using ...
-
Villanueva, Sandra; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro; Ruiz, Pablo; Mayor, Roberto (Academic Press Inc., 2002)The neural crest is a unique cell population induced at the lateral border of the neural plate. Neural crest is not produced at the anterior border of the neural plate, which is fated to become forebrain. Here, the roles ...
-
Linker, Claudia; Bronner-Fraser, Marianne; Mayor, Roberto (Academic Press Inc., 2000)The markers Xslug, Xsnail, and Xtwist all are expressed in the presumptive neural folds and are thought to delineate the presumptive neural crest. However, their interrelationship and relative spatiotemporal distributions ...
-
Aybar, Manuel J.; Nieto, M. Angelo; Mayor, Roberto (2003)The complex sequence of inductive events responsible for the generation of the neural crest at the border between the neural plate and the epidermis, triggers a genetic cascade involving several families of transcription ...

Gómez Skarmeta, José Luis; Calle Mustienes, Elisa de la; Modolell, Juan; Mayor, Roberto (1999)The forkhead type Brain-Factor 2 from mouse and chicken help pattern the forebrain, optic vesicle and kidney. We have isolated a Xenopus homolog (Xbf2) and found that during gastrulation it is expressed in the dorsolateral ...

Gómez Skarmeta, José Luis; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro; Calle Mustienes, Elisa de la; Modolell, Juan; Mayor, Roberto (1998)The Drosophila homeoproteins Ara and Caup are members of a combination of factors (prepattern) that control the highly localized expression of the proneural genes achaete and scute. We have identified two Xenopus homologs ...
