... studies in amphibians, as well as expression studies in mammals, suggest that signalling molecules of the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) family may play a role in gastrulation. To determine whether this might be the case for FGF-5 in the mouse embryo, we carried out RNA in situ hybridization studies...

... methods to examine expression of the murine Fgf-5 gene during embryogenesis. Fgf-5 RNA was detected at seven distinct sites in the developing mouse embryo: (1) postimplantation epiblast (embryonic day , (2) lateral splanchnic mesoderm , (3) lateral somatic mesoderm , (4) myotomes , (5) mastication muscle...
