A recurrent theme in embryonic development and tissue regeneration is that cells
communicate with each other using just a handful of conserved families of signaling …

During development of the vertebrate head neural crest cells emigrate from the hindbrain
and populate the branchial arches, giving rise to distinct skeletal elements and muscle …

RecA in Escherichia coli and its homolog, ScRad51 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are
known to be essential for recombinational repair. The homolog of RecA and ScRad51 in …

To investigate the influence of hindbrain segmentation on craniofacial patterning we have
studied the long term fate of neural crest (NC) subpopulations of individual rhom-bomeres …

Mammalian tooth forms are produced during development by folding of the enamel
epithelium but the molecular mechanisms involved in the formation and patterning of tooth …

The paired-class homeobox–containing gene, Cartl, is expressed in forebrain mesenchyme,
branchial arches, limb buds and cartilages during embryogenesis. Here, we show that Cart1 …

The hindbrain is a segmented structure divided into repeating metameric units termed
rhombomeres (r). The Hox family, vertebrate homologs of the Drosophila HOM-C homeotic …

Morphological segmentation of the avian hindbrain into rhombomeres is also reflected by
the emergent organisation of branchiomotor nerves. In each case, the motor neurons of …

The mouse homeobox-genes Msx-1 and Msx-2 are expressed in several areas of the
developing embryo, including the neural tube, neural crest, facial processes and limb buds …

The migration pathways and spatial distribution of neural crest cells largely depend on the
embryonic architecture. At the preotic level in the chick embryo, cephalic crest adhere to …
