November 10, China Kexue Yuan Institute of Oceanography Liu Baozhong research team in terms of the dorsal-ventral axis molluscs development mechanism research has made important progress, achievements related to the item entitled "lophotrochozoa evolution and development of new knowledge: BMP2 / 4-Chordin regulation molluscs The research paper on the development of the dorsoventral axis was published in the Top Biology journal "Molecular Biology and Evolution" (Molecular Biology and Evolution)
The development of the dorsal-ventral axis is a major basic problem in animal developmental biology
Liu Baozhong’s research team took mollusks, a typical crown-wheel animal, as the research object, and conducted in-depth research on this issue
According to reports, the team also found that the BMP2/4-Chordin signaling system has been integrated into the unique "organizer-driven" development model of the crested animals, providing a solution for the function of the organizer cells and the unique developmental model of the crested animals.
The reporter was informed that the research team has been focusing on the developmental biology of mollusks for a long time and has made a series of important discoveries in recent years
