Abstract excerpt
The terminal differentiation of myogenic cells initiates in the proximal portion of the limb bud whereas the distal region remains undifferentiated and proliferative. The apical ectodermal ridge maintains the progress zone in an undifferentiated state and induces proliferation of limb mesenchymal cells. Hox-7.1, a homeobox-containing gene, is expressed throughout the limb bud when limb outgrowth begins, whereas...
