Abstract excerpt
Studies in the developing spinal cord have established that morphogenes secreted from the roof- and floor plate influence pattern formation along the dorsal-ventral axis of the neural tube. Bone morphogenetic proteins (Bmps), secreted from the roof plate, act on the more laterally located alar plates to induce position dependent gene expression and cell fate changes. The dorsalizing activity of Bmps is...
