...Pilar Esteve; Françoise Trousse; Josana Rodríguez; Paola Bovolenta Secreted frizzled related proteins (SFRPs) are soluble molecules capable of binding WNTS and preventing the activation of their canonical signalling cascade. Here we show that Sfrp1 contributes to chick retina differentiation...

...Stefanie L. Carroll; Amy H. Herrera; Robert Horowits Targeting and functional effects of N-RAP domains were studied by expression as GFP-tagged fusion proteins in cultured embryonic chick cardiomyocytes. GFP-tagged N-RAP was targeted to myofibril precursors, myofibril ends and cell contacts...

...E. J. Sanders; S. Prasad ABSTRACT We have examined the immunocytochemical distribution of TGFβ1 (transforming growth factor β 1) in the gastrulating chick embryo, and have correlated the results with the ability of this factor to promote in vitro changes in the phenotype of mesoderm and epiblast...

...A. J. Brown; E. J. Sanders ABSTRACT In the gastrulating chick embryo, the mesoderm cells arise from the epiblast layer by ingression through the linear accumulation of cells called the primitive streak. The mesoderm cells emerge from the streak with a fibroblastic morphology and proceed to move...

... may be the reason for the rate of lesion-induced cell death of early post-natal motoneurons. Highly enriched embryonic chick motoneurons in culture are supported at survival rates higher than 60 % by CNTF, even in single cell cultures, indicating that CNTF acts directly on motoneurons. In contrast...
