Abstract excerpt
A critical question in mammalian development is how the forebrain is established. In amphibians, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonism emanating from the gastrula organizer is key. Roles of BMP antagonism and the organizer in mammals remain unclear. Anterior visceral endoderm (AVE) promotes early mouse head development, but its function is controversial. Here, we explore the timing and regulation of...
