Abstract excerpt
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFR-alpha) and PDGF ligands are key regulators for embryonic development. Although Pdgfralpha is spatially expressed in the cranial neural crest (CNC)-derived odontogenic mesenchyme, mice deficient for Pdgfralpha are embryonic lethal, making it impossible to investigate the functional significance of PDGF signaling in regulating the fate of CNC cells during tooth...
