Recent research has discovered that sea lampreys and humans share a similar genetic blueprint for hindbrain development, highlighting the evolutionary connection between jawless and jawed vertebrates and underscoring the role of retinoic acid in this ancient developmental pathway. Top and left images are adult sea lampreys. On the right is a fluorescence microscopy image of a developing sea lamprey embryo. Credit: Stowers Institute for Medical Research
