The pronephros is the first in a sequence of kidneys that form in vertebrate embryos.

They are abundant in the extracellular matrix of developing vertebrate embryos and they reappear around healing wounds and in the stroma of some tumors.

The transparent, externally developing vertebrate embryos of Xenopus laevis and zebrafish allow direct imaging of the organism in the critical stages of development while keeping the embryos intact.

As gills are the primitive condition of vertebrates, all vertebrate embryos develop pharyngeal arches, though the eventual fate of these arches varies between taxa.

You probably know that all vertebrate embryos are inherently female.

At the pharyngula stage, all vertebrate embryos show remarkable similarities, containing the following features:

Professor Hall has researched and extensively written on bone and cartilage formation in developing vertebrate embryos.

Neurulation is the stage of organogenesis in vertebrate embryos, during which the neural tube is transformed into the primitive structures that will later develop into the central nervous system.

Homologous developmental characters are defined therein and should be recognisable in all vertebrate embryos.

The Cerberus gene family produces many different signal proteins that are antagonistically involved in establishing anterior-posterior patterning and left-right patterning in vertebrate embryos.
