Abstract Development of the retinal vasculature is based on highly coordinated signalling
between different cell types of the retina, integrating internal metabolic requirements with …

Three embryonic tissue sources—the neural ectoderm, the surface ectoderm, and the
periocular mesenchyme—contribute to the formation of the mammalian eye. For this reason …

ABSTRACT A multigene family of paired-box-containing genes (Pax genes) has been
identified in the mouse. In this report, we describe the expression pattern of Pax-6 during …

Urogenital system development in mammals requires the coordinated differentiation of two
distinct tissues, the ductal epithelium and the nephrogenic mesenchyme, both derived from …

▪ Abstract This review provides a synthesis that combines data from classical
experimentation and recent advances in our understanding of early eye development …

We describe the isolation and characterization of Pax‐3, a novel murine paired box gene
expressed exclusively during embryogenesis. Pax‐3 encodes a 479 amino acid protein with …

The molecular mechanisms that control regional specification, morphogenesis and
differentiation of the embryonic forebrain are not known, although recently seueral …

Paired box (PAX) genes play a critical role in human development and disease. The PAX2
gene is expressed in primitive cells of the kidney, ureter, eye, ear and central nervous …

In the developing mouse, the Wilms' tumour gene, WT1, is first expressed in the intermediate
mesenchyme lateral to the coelomic cavity (13 somite, early 9 dpc embryo). A few hours …

Cranial placodes are focal regions of thickened ectoderm in the head of vertebrate embryos
that give rise to a wide variety of cell types, including elements of the paired sense organs …
