FGF signaling directs a center-to-pole expansion of tubulogenesis in mouse testis differentiation
29 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
In mouse embryogenesis, Sry is transiently activated in a center-to-pole wavelike manner along the anteroposterior (AP) axis of developing XY gonads. However, the mechanism and significance of the center-to-pole expansion of testis initiation pathways downstream of Sry expression remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that FGF9 can act as a diffusible conductor for a poleward expansion of tubulogenic programs at...
