Thus, it remained possible that neurons, which develop in more dorsal aspects of the ventral neural tube, were induced by relay signals. We therefore examined the consequences of overexpressing ...

Its simplified body plan is notable for containing a number of features that it shares in common with us vertebrates, such as a dorsal neural tube, presence of a notochord, segmented body muscles ...

Morphogens that make up the BMP family of transforming growth factor‐(TGF)β molecules are also found in the dorsal neural tube as well as the overlying dorsal ectoderm. Research is beginning to ...
