Abstract excerpt
The thymus and parathyroid glands in mice develop from a thymus/parathyroid primordium that forms from the endoderm of the third pharyngeal pouch. We investigated the molecular mechanisms that promote this unique process in which two distinct organs form from a single primordium, using mice mutant for Hoxa3 and Pax1. Thymic ectopia in Hoxa3(+/-)Pax1(-/-) compound mutants is due to delayed separation of the...
