Effects of the curly tail genotype on neuroepithelial integrity and cell proliferation during late stages of primary neurulation.

Abstract excerpt

The curly tail (ct/ct) mouse mutant shows a high frequency of delay or failure of neural tube closure, and is a good model for human neural tube defects, particularly spina bifida. In a previous study we defined distinct domains of gene expression in the caudal region of non-mutant embryos during posterior (caudal) neuropore closure (Gofflot et al. Developmental Dynamics 210, 431-445, 1997). Here we use BrdU...
