Epiblast Lumenogenesis is not a mammalian-specific trait

Antonia Weberling, Natalia A. Shylo, Hannah Wilson, Melainia L. McClain, Richard Kupronis, Alex Muensch, Suzannah A. Williams, Florian Hollfelder, Paul A. Trainor

The paper shows that epiblast lumenogenesis occurs in veiled chameleons, a non-avian reptile, before anterior-posterior patterning, challenging the view that it is a mammalian-specific trait.

A versatile cryopreservation method for peri-gastrulation squamate embryos optimised using the veiled chameleon (C. calyptratus)

Antonia Weberling, Michael Durnin, Natalia A. Shylo, Mary Cathleen McKinney, H Wilson, Richard Kupronis, Suzannah A. Williams, Paul A. Trainor

This paper develops a cryopreservation method for peri-gastrulation squamate embryos using veiled chameleons, optimized with DMSO and non-penetrating cryoprotectants for fieldwork adaptation.
