Excited to share the final published version of our work on the evolution of dorsal-ventral patterning in fins and limbs, now up on @currentbiology.bsky.social In review we added new single LARM element deletions to assess their impact on dorsality. Take a look! 🔬🧪🐟🐁 www.cell.com/current-biol...

A scientific figure showing the phenotypic effects of removing individual enhancer elements from the LARM. On the left side of the image are schematic diagrams of the targeted deletions and on the right are fin skeletons showing altered anatomy.

Together, our findings raise the intriguing possibility that integration of neural crest into the endostyle developmental program may reflect an important evolutionary step in thyroid development and particularly in the formation of a bilobed gland.

Jan Stundl @janstundl.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Interestingly, our results align with findings in chick embryos, where neural crest ablation leads to hypoplasia or aplasia of pharyngeal-derived endocrine glands (e.g. thyroid gland-Maeda et al., 2016).

Jan Stundl @janstundl.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

We then asked: What happens when neural crest development is disrupted? Using CRISPR/Cas9 to mutate several genes from the neural crest gene regulatory network, we generated crispants with single-lobed endostyles that morphologically resemble those of non-vertebrate chordates.

Jan Stundl @janstundl.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Since the neural crest — a cell type unique to vertebrates — plays a key role in thyroid development, we asked: does it also help build the lamprey endostyle? Our lineage tracing revealed that it does, contributing even to cells destined to become the thyroid.

Jan Stundl @janstundl.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

While non-vertebrate chordates have simple, groove-like endostyles, lampreys boast a bilobed version packed with specialized cells — including the precursors of adult thyroid follicles.

Jan Stundl @janstundl.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

In this #evodevo project, we explored how the #neuralcrest influences the development of the endostyle — the evolutionary precursor of the thyroid gland. The endostyle, an endoderm-derived organ unique to chordates and key to filter feeding, is found in vertebrates only in #lamprey

Acquisition of neural crest promoted thyroid evolution from chordate endostyle

Integration of neural crest cells into the endostyle developmental program promoted its evolution into the thyroid gland.
