...Timothy J. Stuhlmiller; Martín I. García-Castro Neural crest induction involves the combinatorial inputs of the FGF, BMP and Wnt signaling pathways. Recently, a two-step model has emerged where BMP attenuation and Wnt activation induces the neural crest during gastrulation, whereas activation...

...Jianli Shi; Courtney Severson; Jianxia Yang; Doris Wedlich; Michael W. Klymkowsky The neural crest is an induced tissue that is unique to vertebrates. In the clawed frog Xenopus laevis , neural crest induction depends on signals secreted from the prospective dorsolateral mesodermal zone during...

...Ben Steventon; Claudio Araya; Claudia Linker; Sei Kuriyama; Roberto Mayor The neural crest is induced by a combination of secreted signals. Although previous models of neural crest induction have proposed a step-wise activation of these signals, the actual spatial and temporal requirement has...
