Ectodermal patterning in vertebrate embryos.
Recent molecular insights on how the ectodermal layer is patterned in vertebrates are reviewed. Studies on the induction of the central nervous system (CNS) by Spemann's Organizer led to the isolation of noggin and chordin. These secretory proteins function by binding to, and inhibiting, ventral BMPs, in particular BMP-4. Neural induction can be considered as the dorsalization of ectoderm, in w...

متن کاملMapping vertebrate embryos
A major challenge in embryology is to understand how cells become specialized into distinct lineages and assembled into a pattern of tissues that will make up the embryo. The discovery that patterns of gene expression are conserved among embryos of the favourite vertebrate species for laboratory study — zebrafish, frog (Xenopus), chick and mouse — has led to a surge of interest in finding out h...
متن کاملBMP controls proximodistal outgrowth, via induction of the apical ectodermal ridge, and dorsoventral patterning in the vertebrate limb.
Dorsoventral (DV) patterning of the vertebrate limb requires the function of the transcription factor Engrailed 1 (EN1) in the ventral ectoderm. EN1 restricts, to the dorsal half of the limb, the expression of the two genes known to specify dorsal pattern. Limb growth along the proximodistal (PD) axis is controlled by the apical ectodermal ridge (AER), a specialized epithelium that forms at the...
متن کاملPatterning embryos with oscillations: structure, function and dynamics of the vertebrate segmentation clock.
The segmentation clock is an oscillating genetic network thought to govern the rhythmic and sequential subdivision of the elongating body axis of the vertebrate embryo into somites: the precursors of the segmented vertebral column. Understanding how the rhythmic signal arises, how it achieves precision and how it patterns the embryo remain challenging issues. Recent work has provided evidence o...
