.... In this study, we have compared the segmental expression and regulation of Hoxa3 and Hoxb3 in mouse and chick embryos to investigate how they are controlled after initial activation. We found that the patterns of Hoxa3 and Hoxb3 expression in r5 and r6 in later stages during mouse and chick hindbrain...

...Tadashi Nomura; Hajime Fujisawa ABSTRACT The floor plate plays crucial roles in the specification and differentiation of neurons along the dorsal-ventral (DV) axis of the neural tube. The transplantation of the mesecephalic floor plate (mfp) into the dorsal mesencephalon in chick embryos alters...

...C. M. Griffith; M. J. Wiley Using lectin histochemistry, we have previously shown that there are alterations in the distribution of glycoconjugates in the tail bud of chick embryos that parallel the developmental sequence of the caudal axis. If glycoconjugates or the cells bearing them play a role...

..., a continuous BL is not deposited over the dorsal portion of the neural tube until emigration of the NC cells is terminated. Here, we show that the pattern of BL deposition in chick embryos is similar, but not identical, to that in the mouse. In particular, (i) patches of BL are deposited on the premigratory NC...

... but the amount of outgrowth is reduced. Retinoid treatment of chick embryos specifically affects the development of the upper beak and outgrowth and cartilage differentiation in the frontonasal mass are inhibited. The mandibles, however, are unaffected and develop normally. In order to investigate whether...
