... populations in the posterior forelimb, caudal pharyngeal arches, secondary heart field and sensory vibrissae and maintains key signalling centres at these diverse tissues sites. Interestingly, embryos carrying a hypomorphic Blimp1 gfp reporter allele survive to late gestation and exhibit similar, but less...

... starting at the completion of gastrulation. Thus, these studies reveal early functions for Hand2 in several cellular processes and highlight a genetic parallel between heart and forelimb development. ‡ Authors for correspondence (e-mail: [email protected] ; e-mail: yelon...

...Thomas H. Stratford; Konstadina Kostakopoulou; Malcolm Maden ABSTRACT The distribution of Hoxb-8 transcripts through the chick flank and early forelimb mirrors the distribution of polarizing activity in the flank at these early stages. Polarizing activity displayed by Hoxb-8 -expressing tissue...
