Abstract excerpt
We report that targeted inactivation of the Eph receptor ligand ephrinB1 in mouse caused perinatal lethality, edema, defective body wall closure, and skeletal abnormalities. In the thorax, sternocostal connections were arranged asymmetrically and sternebrae were fused, defects that were phenocopied in EphB2/EphB3 receptor mutants. In the wrist, loss of ephrinB1 led to abnormal cartilage segmentation and the...
