1.
Vacquier V, Hamdoun A
Dev Dyn
. 2024 Feb;
253(8):781-790.
PMID: 38340021
Background: Sea urchins have contributed greatly to knowledge of fertilization, embryogenesis, and cell biology. However, until now, they have not been genetic model organisms because of their long generation times...

Chandler D, Vacquier V
Dev Growth Differ
. 2023 Jun;
30(1):49-59.
PMID: 37281721
Immediately after fertilization sea urchin eggs undergo an increase in cytoplasmic pH from 6.8 to 7.2. This pH change occurs by activation of a Na /H antiporter, and is a...

Keller S, Vacquier V
Dev Growth Differ
. 2023 Jun;
36(6):551-556.
PMID: 37281193
The sea urchin egg jelly coat (EJ) induces the acrosome reaction (AR) of sperm. We previously demonstrated that a fraction of EJ containing two glycoproteins of 82- and 138-kDa possess...

Dev Growth Differ
. 2023 Jun;
21(1):47-60.
PMID: 37281065
Acid-dejellied Lytechinus pictus eggs bind few sperm and show decreased fertilizability. Addition of solubilized egg jelly increases sperm binding and fertilizability, presumably by increasing the frequency of the acrosome reaction....

Dev Growth Differ
. 2023 Jun;
21(1):61-69.
PMID: 37280986
When immotile, flagella-less sperm were added to acid-dejellied eggs of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus 11% of the eggs fertilized. Addition of soluble egg jelly increased the percentage fertilization to 90.5. Over 50%...

Vacquier V, Hamdoun A
Dev Dyn
. 2021 May;
250(12):1828-1833.
PMID: 34042247
Background: Sea urchins are model organisms for studying the spatial-temporal control of gene activity during development. The Southern California species, Lytechinus pictus, has a sequenced genome and can be raised...

Methods Cell Biol
. 2019 Apr;
151:21-26.
PMID: 30948009
This perspective describes some of the milestones in my career working with echinoderm gametes and embryos, and especially the questions that remain to be answered. Techniques have evolved and our...

Morris R, Vacquier V
Methods Cell Biol
. 2019 Feb;
150:235-250.
PMID: 30777178
Cilia are exceptionally complicated subcellular structures involved in swimming and developmental signaling, including induction of left-right asymmetry in larval stages. We summarize the history of research on sea urchin embryonic...
