Leite D, Schonauer A, Blakeley G, Harper A, Garcia-Castro H, Baudouin-Gonzalez L, et al.
Evodevo . 2024 May; 15(1):5. PMID: 38730509
Spiders are a diverse order of chelicerates that diverged from other arthropods over 500 million years ago. Research on spider embryogenesis, particularly studies using the common house spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum,...

Janssen R, Pechmann M
Dev Genes Evol . 2023 Jul; 233(2):107-121. PMID: 37495828
Spiders represent an evolutionary successful group of chelicerate arthropods. The body of spiders is subdivided into two regions (tagmata). The anterior tagma, the prosoma, bears the head appendages and four...

Turetzek N, Pechmann M, Janssen R, Prpic N
Semin Cell Dev Biol . 2022 Dec; 152-153:24-34. PMID: 36522242
Hox genes are known for their role in the specification of typical body plan features in animals. Evolutionary changes in Hox gene function are believed to be involved in the...

Wang R, Leite D, Karadas L, Schiffer P, Pechmann M
Dev Biol . 2022 Dec; 494:35-45. PMID: 36470448
Cell migration is a fundamental component during the development of most multicellular organisms. In the early spider embryo, the collective migration of signalling cells, known as the cumulus, is required...

Prpic N, Pechmann M
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2022 Oct; 377(1865):20210269. PMID: 36252223
The formation of extraembryonic membranes (EEMs) contributes to the proper development of many animals. In arthropods, the formation and function of EEMs have been studied best in insects. Regarding the...

Janssen R, Turetzek N, Pechmann M
Dev Genes Evol . 2022 Jan; 232(1):27-37. PMID: 35038005
In the arthropod model species Drosophila melanogaster, a dipteran fly, segmentation of the anterior-posterior body axis is under control of a hierarchic gene cascade. Segmental boundaries that form morphological grooves...

Pechmann M, Prpic N
Dev Biol . 2021 Dec; 482:124-134. PMID: 34942194
Leg axis formation in Drosophila is organized by Wingless (Wg) and Decapentaplegic (Dpp) that control a number of downstream factors to pattern the dorsoventral (DV) and proximodistal (PD) axis. The...

Janssen R, Pechmann M, Turetzek N
Evodevo . 2021 Nov; 12(1):12. PMID: 34753512
The Wnt genes represent a large family of secreted glycoprotein ligands that date back to early animal evolution. Multiple duplication events generated a set of 13 Wnt families of which...
