Abstract excerpt
Retinoids, and in particular retinoic acid (RA), are known to induce posterior fates in neural tissue. However, alterations in retinoid signalling dramatically affect anterior development. Previous reports have demonstrated a late role for retinoids in patterning craniofacial and forebrain structures, but an earlier role in anterior patterning is not well understood. We show that enzymes involved in synthesizing...
