Liu K, Villasenor A, Bertuzzi M, Schmitner N, Radros N, Rautio L, et al.
Elife . 2021 Aug; 10. PMID: 34403334
To investigate the role of the vasculature in pancreatic β-cell regeneration, we crossed a zebrafish β-cell ablation model into the avascular mutant (i.e. ). Surprisingly, β-cell regeneration increased markedly in...

Villasenor A, Gauvrit S, Collins M, Maischein H, Stainier D
Dev Biol . 2019 Nov; 458(2):228-236. PMID: 31697936
Significant efforts have advanced our understanding of foregut-derived organ development; however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that underlie the formation of the hepatopancreatic ductal (HPD) system. Here, we...

Wang Q, Taschner M, Ganzinger K, Kelley C, Villasenor A, Heymann M, et al.
Nat Commun . 2018 Nov; 9(1):4684. PMID: 30409972
The cilium is an organelle used for motility and cellular signaling. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is a process to move ciliary building blocks and signaling components into the cilium. How IFT...

Gauvrit S, Villasenor A, Strilic B, Kitchen P, Collins M, Marin-Juez R, et al.
Nat Commun . 2018 Jul; 9(1):2704. PMID: 30006544
Formation of the lymphatic system requires the coordinated expression of several key regulators: vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC), its receptor FLT4, and a key transcriptional effector, PROX1. Yet, how...

Reischauer S, Stone O, Villasenor A, Chi N, Jin S, Martin M, et al.
Nature . 2018 Mar; 555(7697):543. PMID: 29565360
This corrects the article DOI: 10.1038/nature18614.

Villasenor A, Stainier D
Semin Cell Dev Biol . 2017 Feb; 66:69-80. PMID: 28214561
The hepatopancreatic ductal system is the collection of ducts that connect the liver and pancreas to the digestive tract. The formation of this system is necessary for the transport of...

Azizoglu D, Chong D, Villasenor A, Magenheim J, Barry D, Lee S, et al.
Dev Biol . 2016 Nov; 420(1):67-78. PMID: 27789228
The vertebrate pancreas is comprised of a highly branched tubular epithelium, which is intimately associated with an extensive and specialized vasculature. While we know a great deal about basic vascular...

Reischauer S, Stone O, Villasenor A, Chi N, Jin S, Martin M, et al.
Nature . 2016 Jul; 535(7611):294-8. PMID: 27411634
Vascular and haematopoietic cells organize into specialized tissues during early embryogenesis to supply essential nutrients to all organs and thus play critical roles in development and disease. At the top...

Caprioli A, Villasenor A, Wylie L, Braitsch C, Marty-Santos L, Barry D, et al.
Dev Biol . 2015 Sep; 406(2):222-34. PMID: 26321050
Wnt signaling is essential to many events during organogenesis, including the development of the mammalian lung. The Wnt family member Wnt4 has been shown to be required for the development...

Villasenor A, Cleaver O
Semin Cell Dev Biol . 2012 Jun; 23(6):685-92. PMID: 22728668
Growth and development of embryonic organs goes hand in hand with development of the vascular system. Blood vessels have been known for centuries to supply nutrients and oxygen to all...
