Ortiz C, Faumont S, Takayama J, Ahmed H, Goldsmith A, Pocock R, et al.
Curr Biol . 2009 Jun; 19(12):996-1004. PMID: 19523832
Background: Even though functional lateralization is a common feature of many nervous systems, it is poorly understood how lateralized neural function is linked to lateralized gene activity. A bilaterally symmetric...

Ortiz C, Etchberger J, Posy S, Frokjaer-Jensen C, Lockery S, Honig B, et al.
Genetics . 2006 Mar; 173(1):131-49. PMID: 16547101
Functional left/right asymmetry ("laterality") is a fundamental feature of many nervous systems, but only very few molecular correlates to functional laterality are known. At least two classes of chemosensory neurons...

Johnston Jr R, Chang S, Etchberger J, Ortiz C, Hobert O
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2005 Aug; 102(35):12449-54. PMID: 16099833
The elucidation of the architecture of gene regulatory networks that control cell-type specific gene expression programs represents a major challenge in developmental biology. We describe here a cell fate decision...

J Bone Miner Res . 2003 Jun; 18(6):1066-72. PMID: 12817760
IGFBP-4 is an inhibitor of IGF-I in bone. We show that TGF-beta regulates IGFBP-4 and enhances IGF-I-stimulated growth of cultured human bone cells through increased expression of an IGFBP-4 protease,...
